George RR Martin’s Sandkings book, which came out in 1979, is getting a film adaptation on Netflix. Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski is taking on this project, according to a latest update with Collider. What can we expect from the Sandkings movie?
George R. R. Martin’s Sandkings
The book Sandkings was written by George RR Martin, better known for his Game of Thrones book series. Sandkings is about a child named Simon Kress, who has a love for collecting exotic animals. One day he buys a terrarium with four colonies of all animals, called the Sandkings. These animals eventually grow to be as big as the tank they are in. The four colonies compete against each other and eventually escape from the terrarium.
This story will eventually be made into a film by Gore Verbinski. Yet the production of the film is not far along at all. Verbinski is only now working on creating new ideas for the new film, it is not known when real production will start.
Gore Verbinski
Sandkings is Verbinski’s latest project. He says he thinks RR Martin’s book is a brilliant short story that he loves very much. But Sandkings is not the first major project he has made in his life. What other films has he created?
Gore Verbinski is best known for directing the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films, in which Johnny Depp played Jack Sparrow. He has also directed films such as The Weather Man with Nicolas Cage, Rango, The Lone Ranger and A Cure For Wellness. Sandkings is the latest title he can add to his name.
