Two Aegon Epics Clash As Merger Threat Looms

FRNS

About
Warner Bros just finished a first-draft script for a Game of Thrones movie about Aegon the Conqueror—the OG dragon lord who founded the entire dynasty three hundred years before the show—while HBO is simultaneously developing a TV series about the exact same conquest. Like divorced parents planning separate birthday parties for the same kid, except this mess is happening during a one hundred ten billion dollar merger with Paramount that might get blocked by the government for antitrust reasons. Beau Willimon from House of Cards and Andor wrote it, they're calling it their Dune-sized epic, and literally nobody knows if it'll actually get made or just become another shelved spinoff like that Jon Snow show.
