Brian Helgeland, one of the writers working on a ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff, reveals why the tentatively titled ‘10,000 Ships’ series didn’t happen. Helgeland shares his pitch for the show, which was inspired by Queen Nymeria and her journey from Westeros to Dorne, comparing it to the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and Odysseus’s odyssey in ‘The Odyssey’. Despite the project’s cancellation, Helgeland remains hopeful that HBO may still consider picking it up in the future.
