The Song of Ice and Fire author supports his guild's strike, but says that action will not impact the process of the Game of Thrones prequel's production.
This doesn’t change some of the concerns around the importance of having writers on set during filming already established, but Martin is not exactly explaining this to defend the studios that are not accepting the WGA’s demands, either.
“I have been through several of these [strikes] since I first started writing for television and film in 1986. The 1988 strike, the first I was a part of, lasted 22 weeks, the longest in Hollywood history,” Martin added. “The 2007-2008 strike, the most recent, went for 100 days. This one may go longer. The issues are more important, and I have never seen the Guild so united as it is now.”The writer also noted that the strike is being supported by other productions adapting his work.
