HBO's Aegon's Conquest movie still a thing, has a new release date

As Paramount Skydance’s kraken-like tendrils pull Warner Bros. ever closer to its premature meeting with the Drowned God, Deadline reports a new release date for the studio’s big Game Of Thrones feature film. Game Of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest, which will detail how Aegon I Targaryen came to rule the Seven Kingdoms (big news for GOT fans who skipped George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood), now has a release date of June 1, 2029. June is a notably summery date for the film, perhaps evoking the summery red sun of Dorne, the one kingdom that defied Aegon throughout his conquest, despite, y’know, Aegon riding atop a big-ass dragon named Balerion The Black Dread and having two dragon-riding sisters raining fire and blood all over the place.  

Details beyond this release date remain scarce, though we know the film is set to be directed by Owen Harris (A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms) from a screenplay by Beau Willimon (Andor, House Of Cards). Now’s the time to begin your fan-castings for Aegon and his two conquering sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, as well as other era-dependent figures from Westerosi history—like Princess Meria Martell, the “Yellow Toad” of Dorne, whose defiance of the invading Valyrian dragonlord became the stuff of legend. (And whose story contributed to a pretty awesome cyvasse game in the latest season of House Of The Dragon.)
