Exile Content Studio is adapting George R. R. Martin’s Hunter’s Row for the big screen

In 1981, the science fiction author invited Martin to continue from where he stopped. However, Martin also hit a block a year later and returned the story to Dozois, who shelved the project until 2002, when he and Martin brought in Abraham. Abraham took over from where the two left off and completed the story into a novella titled Shadow Twin in 2004. Dozois then rewrote the story into the 380-page novel that it is today by 2007.

Hunter's Run is set on a colony planet named Sao Paulo. The story follows Roman Espejo, a Hispanic anti-hero who goes into hiding after murdering a diplomat. While on the run, he comes across an alien community who, like him, are hiding from humans. Threatened by the human's awareness of their existence, the aliens attempt to capture him, but he escaped. To enable them to find him, they make a clone who learns about their ways and becomes sympathetic to their situation. He then tries to remedy the situation by getting the original Espejo to keep the aliens' secret.

While discussing the forthcoming film adaptation, Exile Content Chief Strategy Officer Eric Bloomberg stated his elation to work with Martin, who he considers to be an incredible storyteller. He also expressed his trust in the book's premise, stating that it would make for an exciting science fiction film.

Mark Raso, who has been confirmed as the director, will develop the film's script alongside his brother, Joseph. Also, Martin and Vince Gerardis, both of whom collaborated on Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, will serve as the executive producers.

Apart from the crew members, there isn't much information available on the film adaptation of Hunter's Row. However, the studio should provide more information, including cast members and release date, as things progress.

In the meantime, fans of the infamous procrastinator can look forward to his other works. The Game of Thrones author had a hand in the success of Elden Ring, which recently won yet another GOTY award. He's involved in many upcoming Game of Thrones spin-offs albeit some of which have already been canceled. The biggest one, House of the Dragon, will film for the majority of the year. Finally, another one of his works, The Ice Dragon, is being adapted by Warner Bros. Discovery.
