id like to remind everyone that one of the GOT creators here who just got a NINE FIGURE DEAL is the son of a former head of Goldman fucking Sachs, and is also related to Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce who didn’t give a shit when called out for contracting with CBP https://t.co/Qq14ksDYj9

putting this out in the world in case the people who could help me make it happen didn’t know and that’s the only thing stopping it: I too want to be mediocre and rich https://t.co/W9gDQaz6kB

It's pretty obvious, but people familiar with the situation confirm that CONFEDERATE, the alt-history project Benioff and Weiss had in development at HBO, is now completely, finally dead at the network. It won't live on without them.

Just make sure they’re adapting killer source material over which they’ve spent years and years obsessing. Because, uh, otherwise, I’ve got some bad news ... https://t.co/QZjnIasmUc

it's bizarre to see these guys get treated like the soul architects of Game of Thrones' popularity. an *adaptation* that succeeded for a variety of reasons, where their writing was widely regarded as a weak link. https://t.co/T99zYYDWzG

D&D/B&W are headed to NFLX. I don't super mind these overall deals--though by odds some people are way getting overpaid--but I do have an issue with giant overalls where the principals have multiple overalls (and/or Star Wars films) going on.https://t.co/FbkCacPuSf

Not because it was an unbelievably bad idea, but because Netflix snaked Weiss and Benioff out from under HBO. https://t.co/SCmjQDu1e9

.@netflix is very dumb. They'd be better off finding 400 writers & giving them each $500k rather then giving that $ to these two dudes who took another writer's books & made a hit show. (e.g. look up Confederate tv show) https://t.co/VpyaWbU8GF

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss showed their true worth as storytellers and writers with #GameOfThrones Season 8. They are geek repellents. Their names make me instantly lose hope in any project. @netflix just flushed $200 Million down the toilet. https://t.co/cHg2JJo6yy

I just threw up a little in my mouth. @netflix spent $200mil for Game of Thrones creators & are axing shows like @The_OA to foot the bill.

To be clear: ‘Confederate’ is dead because these guys got a NINE FIGURE deal elsewhere.
Not because they realised it was a terrible and tone-deaf mess.
It’s because they got a shit-ton of money to do other things ... ? https://t.co/Lq9wBduROd
