'Game of Thrones' prequel starring Naomi Watts reportedly reaches untimely death

HBO

Just like many deaths on the show, it seems one Game of Thrones prequel isn't going to see the light of day—at least according to rumours. The prequel in question is the one written by Jane Goldman and starring Naomi Watts. It was supposed to take place thousands of years before Game of Thrones. HBO hasn't confirmed that the project has been canned, but Goldman is reportedly reaching out to the cast and crew informing them that the pilot is dead. The project first got green-lit back in June 2018, where it was chosen among other prequel scripts that were commissioned by HBO. Reports claim there were issues during filming in Northern Ireland, but it is unclear if this is the cause of the cancellation. 

Back in September, HBO reportedly green-lit another prequel that follows the House of Targaryen. This one takes place 300 years before the main series.

There’s a ‘Game of Thrones’ edition of the Samsung Galaxy Fold

In case you didn’t think the Samsung Galaxy Fold couldn’t get more expensive, Caviar decides to give the phone a pop culture makeover. They’re creating a version of the phone that’s inspired by the recently concluded show Game of Thrones and George R.R. Martin’s next book, The Winds of Winter. The foldable phone is customized to look like a book. It's stylized in front “into a cover of the long-awaited book." The front and rear panels feature exquisite bas-relief that’s covered in gold and shaped to represent different major houses of Westeros. There’s even an etched map of the said world at the back. When folded, it can be locked with a gold clasp. 

The inside and its specs remain similar to Samsung’s original model. This means you still get the Galaxy Fold with a Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB internal storage. It has a quad camera setup at the back and dual front cameras. The battery is still at 4,380mAh. With no official word yet when Samsung plans to relaunch the Galaxy Fold, Caviar can’t announce when it’s version will be available. But the luxury brand said it’ll have a simultaneous launch date with Samsung. How much will this set you back? A very cool US$8,200. On the plus side, Caviar is offering free worldwide shipping for the units, which are very limited in number. There will only be seven units of this phone.
