> The cardinal rule of Hollywood is: Never use your own money

Since it wasn't explained in the opener.

I don't understand. Someone gotta put their hand in their pocket and break the rule or nothing would ever happen.

He wrote Thrones explicitly to challenge Hollywood clichés and inject real medieval mechanics in an otherwise throbbing overblown drama. He made a bank, got a following, sold the rights, and it's not his fault that after the source material ran out, it turned to be exactly what he hated. But he's rich, lives for his hobbies. I don't think he owes anyone anything.

So OUTSOURCE it. There are probably a thousand very talented writers that would collaborate on writing the books, coming up with plot, tracking canon, and GRR can just cruise in and edit/supervise.

Hell, you can probably train an AI to check the canon.

If he just likes being famous and making money, do that. He'll be more famous and more rich, and the people get books to read.

It's going to happen when he dies, so if he wants some say in what happens, he should do it now. Otherwise it will get Disney Star Wars'd.

And you know what? GoT will NEVER be remade the way it is. I guess he doesn't have any children, so he doesn't care.
