Beau Willimon will write the script. He’s the creator of Netflix’s House of Cards and Hulu’s The First. He also served as a writer on Disney+’s Andor. His movie credits include The Ides of March and Mary Queen of Scots.
What will the movie be about?
“Fire & Blood” is a book released in 2018 that tells the history of House Targaryen. Aegon’s Conquest is one section of the book.
If you are not up on the lore in GoT, Aegon I Targaryen was the founder of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros and the first king to rule from the Iron Throne.
With the help of his sisters, Visenya Targaryen and Rhaenys Targaryen, and their dragons, Balerion, Vhagar and Meraxes, he conquered most of the Seven Kingdoms and united them under one crown. His conquest changed the history of Westeros and established the Targaryens as one of its most powerful royal families.
