George R.R. Martin: I'm still calling the Game of Thrones prequel pilot "The Long Night," even though it's not the official title

The New York Times

While discussing his new Syfy show Nightflyers with The New York Times, Martin was asked about the Game of Thrones pilot he's making with Jane Goldman. "That’s the show I’m calling 'The Long Night,'" he responded. "HBO said, 'Don’t call it "The Long Night,"' so that’s not the official title. But I still think of it as 'The Long Night.' That’s the one Jane Goldman wrote, and they’re gearing up for preproduction. Naomi Watts has been cast, so that’s very exciting."
