《權遊》作者說可能會有13季
Game of Thrones will air its final season in 2019, but the author of the source material says that wasn't his call. In an interview with Variety on the Emmys red carpet Monday night, author George R.R. Martin said he could have seen the show going on for a whopping 13 seasons.
When asked why the show is ending, he responded, “I don't know! Ask [showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss] when they come through. We could have gone to 11, 12, 13 seasons, but I guess they wanted a life,” he joked. “You know, if you've read my novels, you know there was enough material for more seasons. They made certain cuts, but that's fine.”
被問到爲什麼《權利的遊戲》會終結時，馬丁說：“我不知道！問製作人David Benioff and D.B. Weiss吧。我們本來還想做11、12、13季，但是我猜他們想要個期限。”馬丁開玩笑說：“如果你讀過我的作品，就會知道里面有很多伏筆，還可以寫很多季。他們做了刪減，我也能接受。”“[Benioff and Weiss] have been saying for like five years that seven seasons was all they would go, and we got them to go to eight, but not any more than that,” Martin said. “There was a period five years ago where they were saying seven seasons, and I was saying 10 seasons, and they won. They're the ones actually working on it.”
“兩位製作人一直說五年內希望能完成七季，但是我們做到了第八季，不會更多了。五年前，他們說只要七季，我說得十季才行，他們贏了，畢竟他們纔是實際操刀的人。”
But even though the series is ending, Martin doesn't want any spinoff series. “I think this story ends when it is, and I know all the actors, as great as they are, are anxious to get on and play other roles,” he said. “They don't want to spend their lives playing one role, and that's fine.”
但是即使《權力的遊戲》系列將要完結，馬丁也不想做任何續集，“就讓故事結束吧，我認識了所有優秀的演員，他們還有別的角色要完成，也不想把一輩子花在這一個角色上，這樣也挺好的。”
