The battle for “Game of Thrones'” Iron Throne will continue on television, not in the movie theater.
Author George R.R. Martin has debunked the latest rumors of “Thrones” heading to the big screen.
“I don’t know where this latest round of ‘there’s going to be a GAME OF THRONES movie’ nonsense is coming from, but suddenly it is everywhere, and all of us connected with the show and HBO are being bombarded. But nothing has changed,” Martin wrote on his Not A Blog web page on Wednesday.

Martin said the idea, which sprung up several years ago, “is still powerfully attractive,” but there is no movement in that direction.
“It would still be cool, and I’d still love to see it… but nothing has changed since the last round of rumors. I am still writing THE WINDS OF WINTER. David & Dan are still filming season six. HBO is still in the television business,” Martin noted, adding, “Don’t take any of this stuff seriously.”
