Benioff and Weiss signed to Netflix
On the epic conclusion of the television adaptation of George R.R. Martin "A Song of Ice and Fire" was heard even by those who did not watch it - such a public response was received by the last work of the duo of screenwriters and directors David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. News of the future plans of the creative tandem was not long in coming. Despite long-term attempts by Disney and Amazon to get them, the men opted for a nine-figure deal with the online service Netflix.“We're delighted to welcome the incomparable storytellers Benioff and Weiss to Netflix,,” commented on the streaming platform. -They are talented and have already delighted a global audience with an epic storytelling. I can't wait to see what will give our subscribers their imagination. ”. In response, the duo issued a joint statement:“Over the past months we have been in talks with top managers of Netflix - Cindy Holland and Peter Friedlander, Ted Sarandos and Scott Stuber. We remember the same shots from films from the 80s; love the same books; equally excited about new ways to convey the story to the viewer. Netflix has managed to create something amazing and unprecedented, and it is an honor for us to join them. ”  It’s surprising that Disney hasn’t been able to lure the duo for any longer, even though the pair are already in the process of working on their own Star Wars trilogy. Benioff and Weiss obviously know their worth: this year, their brainchild has once again been nominated for an Emmy Award.
