George R. R. Martin's sci-fi book Hunter's Run is being produced as a feature film after Exile Content Studio recently purchased the rights. Martin wrote the novel in 2007 along with Daniel Abraham and Gardner Dozois. He currently serves as the executive producer of the HBO fantasy series and Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon.
Martin spoke with Variety about the recent acquisition of the book's rights by Exile Content Studio, a prolific producer of Spanish and English content. The studio was drawn to the novel due to the complex Latino protagonist and will now be able to work with Martin, who will serve as executive producer, and expressed great excitement at the prospect of finally being able to see this work be made into a film.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY I’m so pleased that after almost 16 years, ‘Hunter’s Run’ will be made into a film. I’m bursting with excitement for the rich sci-fi universe I helped create with my dear friends Daniel and Gardner to exist beyond the pages of our book.Hunter's Run Explained The sci-fi novel tells the story of Ramón Espejo, an anti-hero who gets by on a human colony named São Paulo, a planet with similar living conditions to Earth.
The film is set to be directed by Mark Raso, who has previously helmed Kodachrome and will be co-written with his brother, Joseph. Martin and Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon collaborator Vince Gerardis will serve as executive producers. This will be the main selling point for many fans of Martin's work, considering the high quality of both aforementioned HBO shows, a large part of which can be dedicated to his oversight.
Hunter's Run originally conceived its Latino protagonist due to the lack of Hispanic representation in science fiction at the time of writing: 1976. However, it would be 31 years before the book was completed, having started as Dozois' idea. It was passed to Martin in 1981 after Dozois was unsure how to progress the story. Martin took up the challenge but returned the manuscript to Dozois after he couldn't come up with an ending.
