2:08:19They wouldn't agree to it. They'd never let GRRM have full creative control
2:08:21That and the people behind One Piece actually give a damn about the source material
2:08:23Not even JK Rowling got that much control
2:08:23He got money now so he has no motivation I guess
2:08:25Contracts are not made that way in western companies
2:08:26thats why henry cavill left witcher
2:08:30These deals were made years ago
2:08:31a lot of anime get screwed because the author has no control
2:08:33He's always trusted the show runners at the beginning of the project.
2:08:35A Song of an Ice and Fire have just 5 books of 7
2:08:39if you finish the book in x time you get x money
2:08:41Some spinoffs are in the works too
2:08:41Its mean to say but...some artists can get a bit emotional when they make it big
2:08:41oda finished the story and storyboard
2:08:45it's, unfortunately, not that simple because everybody in hollywood is a "creative genius". In other words, way too many egos on most American productions
2:08:46that would kill most deals probably
2:08:46It depends on the contract as well as his management company too
他
2:08:49maybe he too happy to think about it down the line
2:08:51He signed away the rights to fire and blood before all the GoT popped off
2:08:53that kind of thing is probably a nightmare for studios because creative people can be eccentric even if they're brilliant
2:08:56He doesn't know how to end :face-green-smiling::face-green-smiling::face-green-smiling:
2:08:57they probably said they wont do it if they have to get his approval
2:08:57if you're behind x or y we don't need approval to progress
2:08:59But he doesn't know what to do with the story! That's why Winds of Winter will never release
2:08:59Giving up creative control is a condition to having GoT adapted to TV
2:09:00his company controls it most of the time
2:09:01I think he wrote himself into a corner and he's now just done with it.
2:09:03Yeah, like if he really wanted to he could have more control over the content in the contracts
