From Winter Is Coming
Whenever a prequel is discussed there are a lot of people that bring up Roberts Rebellion, and even though I personally would like to see a young Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark bring down the Targaryians I can’t help to think it would boring. We all know that regardless of any hopeless a situation that Ned and Robert find themselves in we know that they are going to live because we already know how the die. Also, if there is a major character in the prequel good chances he’s going to get killed off because if he did survive why wouldn’t he be in the main story line?
If they do a prequel it makes sense that they either explore the Dunk and Egg stories, or explore a different era of Westeros or Essos. Maybe Valeria?
What do you hope they do? Prequel or Sequel?
All I can say is that we’re exploring it. We don’t have any scripts, we’re not even close to saying ‘Oh let’s do this.’ But it’s a big enough property that we would be foolish not to explore it. It’s a really rich world. We’d be foolish not to look at it.

A prequel feels like it has less pressure on it [than a spin-off]. [Author George R.R. Martin’s history of Westeros] gives you areas in which to say to a writer, ‘If you were going to do this, then go flesh it out,’ and we’ll see what comes back. But I don’t feel any pressure that we have to have something.
