Full Moon Door
George R.R. Martin is a very busy man, juggling writing duties on the Song of Ice and Fire series of books, HBO's sterling telly-adaptation of said books, Game of Thrones, and about a billion other projects. Anyone hoping George would take some time out of his TV projects to finish up work on the final books in the Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, will be disappointed to learn that the prolific penman is planning to tackle yet another TV project. Relax, fellas, I'm sure we'll get the books eventually. Right? RIGHT?!
The new project will be an adaptation of Martin's award-winning short, Skin Trade, a story about a collections agent - who also happens to be a werewolf on the side - that joins forces with a private detective in order to catch the perpetrator behind a series of grisly murders.
“I have always thought there was a TV series (or maybe a feature film) in Willie Flambeaux and Randi Wade,” said Martin. “Those of you who know the story of Doorways, my ill-fated ABC pilot from the early 90s, may even recall that it was Skin Trade that I was actually trying to sell back in 1991, when I flew out to LA for a round of pitch meetings. So we’re a few decades late…”
Martin, alongside co-producer Kalinda Vasquez (Once Upon a Time), will work on this tale of lycanthropic law and order for Cinemax.
