What is dead may never die, but rises again — in the form of yet another spin-off! Don't let any lingering fanbase rage fool you, the "Game of Thrones" universe is still thriving. Following the massive success of "House of the Dragon," the acclaimed prequel series that broke multiple HBO viewing records, Warner Bros Discovery has announced the next Thrones spinoff slated to enter production. Prepare for sword-fighting, jousts, and moral dilemmas galore because next up on the docket is "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."
Fans of George R. R. Martin's novels know this tale best as The Adventures of Dunk and Egg, the affectionate title for the story of two unlikely heroes who wander Westeros during the Targaryen reign. One is the courageous knight of legend Ser Duncan the Tall, and the other is his diminutive squire, Egg. Think back to those glorious days of Brienne and Podrick's...

HBO reaffirmed its long-term commitment to the “Game of Thrones” franchise this week by ordering a full season of a new spinoff titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” just days after “House of the Dragon” began production on Season 2. The new series, which follows the adventures of a knight named Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, is based on a series of novellas that Martin began publishing in 1998.
Those who have paid attention to the endless pipeline of “Game of Thrones” shows in development will recognize the project, as Martin has been open about wanting to make a show about the characters. The series has been commonly referred to as “Dunk & Egg,” as the two characters are often colloquially called. But in a new post on his personal blog, Martin explained why they ultimately had to go with a more distinguished-sounding title.

Long rumoured as in development, there has been a major update for Game Of Thrones spin-off series now known as A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. The show has scored an official order from HBO.
Adapting George Rr Martin's "Dunk and Egg" novellas, the new series is set a century before the events of the original series and promises to be more of a two-hander character piece than the sprawling likes of Thrones or first spin-off House Of The Dragon. Two unlikely heroes wander Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg (the future king Aegon V Targaryen). Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.

The “Game of Thrones” prequel based on George R.R. Martin’s “Dunk and Egg” books is officially moving forward at HBO.
The announcement was made during Warner Bros. Discovery presentation to press and investors on April 12, in which it was announced that the combined HBO Max and Discovery+ streaming service will be known simply as Max. It also comes a little over two years after Variety exclusively reported that the series was in development.
The show is based on the series of fantasy novellas by Martin, which follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and a young Aegon V Targaryen (Egg) 90 years prior to the events of “A Song of Ice and Fire.”
The series is currently titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight.” The official logline states, “A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight,...

An engrossing, award-winning conclusion to the trilogy by Turkish film-maker Semih Kaplanoglu
Turkish film-maker Semih Kaplanoglu won the Golden Bear at the Berlin film festival for this calm, contemplative and compassionate movie, the third in his childhood trilogy – the first was Yumurta, or Egg; the second Süt, or Milk. In the densely forested region of north-eastern Turkey along the Black Sea coast, Yakup (Erdal Besikçioglu) makes a hand-to-mouth living harvesting wild honey, climbing trees to get at the hives. His disappearance one day exposes his already vulnerable family to yet more stoically borne agony: this is his wife Zehra (Tülin Özen) and six-year-old boy Yusuf (Bora Altas) through whose eyes we are invited to see the action. He is a lonely child, dealing with a stammer, desperate for attention, longing to get one of the red "reward" badges his strict schoolteacher gives out for reading aloud in class. The image...

In Semih Kaplanoglu’s Bal (“Honey”), Turkish beekeeper Yakup (Erdal Besikçioglu) risks his life scaling tall trees in search of elusive black honey, prized for its healing properties as well as its rich taste. The film, which details the childhood of the poet Yusuf (Bora Altas), portrayed in Kaplanoglu’s Yumurta (“Egg”) and Süt (“Milk”), is set in a rural village where sweetness is hard to come by, and its pursuit can be dangerous, even life-threatening. But its simple, unadulterated pleasures are matchless, and the same can be said for Bal’s best moments. The scenes of shy ...

"Honey," a heart-warming drama from Turkish director Semih Kaplanoglu, has won the Golden Bear for best film at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival. The still-incarcerated Roman Polanski won the Best Director Silver Bear for "The Ghost Writer."
"Honey," the final film in Kaplanoglu's autobiographical trilogy - the others are "Egg" (2007) and "Milk" (2008) - follows a young boy in rural Turkey whose father collects wild honey. It was one of the few life-affirming films in this year's Berlinale line-up and was an underdog favorite for the top prize.
