No can ever predict success, can they? Many may place safe bets on how a particular presentation may turn out to be a success or not; however, the magnitude of that can certainly never be assumed. Little did George R.R. Martin or David Benioff & D.B. Weiss know that Game Of Thrones was going on to become an absolute phenomenon and have the kind of reach it managed to have.

Nevertheless, the chapter of GOT is now over and people have begun to move on already. In a recent report on Variety, Martin revealed how he feels no project will ever get the success that Game Of Thrones achieved as you can never predict any of that. 

“My experience with ‘Game of Thrones’ just confirms that Goldman had it right: Nobody knows anything. Don’t let anyone tell you what’s produce-able, not produce-able,” said the “A Song of Fire and Ice” author on the “Maltin on Movies” podcast, co-hosted by film critic Leonard Maltin and his daughter, Jessie Maltin.

The episode was recorded at the historic Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which Martin owns. The theater, which he bought, remodeled and re-opened in 2013, has evolved into a culture hub, hosting stand-up comedy shows, author events and the occasional “Game of Thrones”-themed burlesque show. Martin said he is especially proud of the popcorn they serve, which is both organic and made by the Amish in Indiana.

“The scale of ‘Game of Thrones’s’ success has — reaching all over the world and invading the culture to [such an extent] — it’s not something anyone could ever anticipate, not something I expect to ever experience again,” said Martin.
