If we go 7 or 8 seasons and the show is still big enough that we can get the $200mm to finance a huge epic movie to end it… Sure! ~GRRM

Martin said that discussions have already been held about a film version:
“But that doesn’t mean it has been approved. Some people like the idea. Other people don’t like the idea.”
Martin, who is firmly in the ‘yes’ camp, pointed out that Game Of Thrones already has “the biggest cast in television” and the “biggest budget in television.” Each episode is reckoned to cost between $5 million and $6 million – and each season between $60 million and $90 million.
“But that’s still nothing to what Peter Jackson spends on a Lord Of The Rings movie or what any of these big, epic science fiction or fantasy movies have to spend. To go out with something big like that would be amazing.”
