Game of Thrones author: “People are going to die”

“Game of Thrones” fans beware, George R.R. Martin, the author of the “GOT” novels, has a warning for you in the lead up to the new season:

“People are going to die who don’t die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, co-creators of “Game Of Thrones”) are even bloodier than I am.”

Martin spoke to Showbiz411, also letting on that even he is unsure how many seasons of the hit show are to come.

“This is the fifth season, the sixth season HBO picked up last year. We will have a 7th, 8th or 9th, no one knows. They only renew one or two seasons at a time. After we do season 6, maybe we’ll get a renewal for 7th and 8th. That all depends, television is a very changeable medium.

“I certainly hope that we get to tell the entire story. Because whatever happens with the show I’m going to finish the books, it will be seven books… But we’re talking 3000 pages of material. How many seasons that translates too? That’s up to D.B. And David.”
