　　《權(quán)利的游戲》作者將擔(dān)任新劇監(jiān)制

　　George R.R Martin, creator of the hugely popular 'Game of Thrones' series will serve as an executiveproducer on new series based on fantasy novel, 'Who Fears Death' by Nigerian American author Nnedi Okorafor.

　　《權(quán)力的游戲》作者喬治·雷蒙德·理查德·馬丁將擔(dān)任一部由奇幻小說(shuō)《誰(shuí)畏懼死亡》改編的電視劇的監(jiān)制，該小說(shuō)的作者是美國(guó)黑人作家 Nnedi Okorafor.

　　Okorafor announced on her social media accounts that her book "has been optioned by HBO and is in now in early development."

　　此前，Okorafor在他的社交媒體賬號(hào)中宣稱她的書(shū)“已經(jīng)被HBO公司選中，現(xiàn)在正處于早期創(chuàng)編階段。”

　　Martin later confirmed the news in a post on his blog.

　　隨后馬丁在博客中發(fā)表了公告證實(shí)了此事。

　　"I met Nnedi a few years ago, and I'm a great admirer of her work. She's an exciting new talent in our field, with a unique voice," he said.

　　他說(shuō)：“我與Nnedi在幾年前相識(shí)，我欣賞她的作品。她天賦過(guò)人，是作家中的一股清流。”

　　Martin went on to say he will not be the show runner for the new series and is "doubtful" he will write any episodes. The author is still working on "The Winds of Winter" the sixth novel in the Game of Thrones series.

　　馬丁繼續(xù)說(shuō)他將不會(huì)擔(dān)任這部劇的執(zhí)行制作人，也不確定是否會(huì)擔(dān)任某一集的編劇。他的主要精力還是《冰火》的第六部《凜冬的寒風(fēng)》。

　　"Who Fears Death," which was published in 2011, tells the story of Onyeswonu, a child born out of rape in post-apocalyptic Sudan who discovers she has magical superpowers.

　　《誰(shuí)畏懼死亡》于2011年出版，主人公名叫Onyeswonu，出生在蘇丹末日時(shí)代，她的母親遭到強(qiáng)奸后生下了她，然而后來(lái)Onyeswonu自己有神奇的超能力。

　　The book won the World Fantasy Award for the best novel in 2011.

　　同年，該小說(shuō)獲得了世界奇幻文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)最佳小說(shuō)獎(jiǎng)。
