AtariLegend Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If anyone is wondering if there's an update on the book, nope. It's been almost finished for several years now. In George's defense though, he has other books to work on, edit and 9 TV projects he's working on, not to mention the mini-essays he posts every day on his blog about sports and other TV shows. In other news, someone asked George if the show will diverge from The Winds of Winter, this is what George said; WINDS will be different in some ways, but will parallel the show in others. At this point, there are probably a dozen characters who are dead on the show but alive in the books, so it would be impossible for the two to remain the same. (Also, of course, there are characters in the books who have never even existed on the show, like Victarion Greyjoy, Jon Connington, Penny, Arianne Martell... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Roy Dotrice, aka Pyromancer Hallyne and longtime ‘Game of Thrones’ audiobook narrator, dies at 94 British actor Roy Dotrice, who narrated the A Song of Ice and Fire audiobooks and appeared as Pyromancer Hallyne in two episodes of Season 2 of Game of Thrones, died today at age 94, according to the BBC. Thrones was Dotrice’s last television role before his death. Dotrice — a multifaceted actor who had roles in film, television and theater, winning a Tony Award in 2000 for the Broadway revival of A Moon for the Misbegotten — earned a Guinness World Record for the most characters ever voiced by a single actor when recording the audiobook for “A Game of Thrones” in 2004, and went on to narrate all of the published novels in George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire series. He was originally cast as Grand Maester Pycelle in 2010, but he fell ill before filming began and instead appeared in two episodes of Season 2 as Pyromancer Hallyne — who, viewers recall, gleefully watched his wildfire oblierate Stannis Baratheon’s fleet during the Battle of the Blackwater. Dotrice and Martin had a long-running relationship, beginning with their work together on the television series Beauty and the Beast, which ran from 1987-90 and on which Dotrice played Jacob “Father” Wells and Martin was a writer and producer. It was because of that long relationship that Dotrice reportedly accepted the cameo as Hallyne after recovering from his illness as a favor to Martin. Dotrice will be missed as a longtime member of the Thrones world, especially when “The Winds of Winter” is (finally) published and someone will have to take up the mantle of narrator. We know those will be big shoes to fill. Rest in peace, Roy.

AtariLegend Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I gave up on the book. He said a few days ago the book isn't coming out in 2018, after it being almost finished years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine some of the pressure is off his shoulders now, since the show is done now, therefore meaning he doesn’t have to compete directly with it.
