The report by ET noted that due to a monumental battle involving the White Walkers lined up, and the size of the series finale requiring a massive budget, producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss thought about releasing the final season as three two-hour films in theatres.
Although it seemed like the only way the show would be able to acquire the time and money to produce the finale they envisioned, making movies was never the intention for Game of Thrones.
D.B. said that "It's what we're working towards in a perfect world. We end up with an epic fantasy story but with the level of familiarity and investment in the characters that are normally impossible in a two-hour movie."

But the trilogy idea was not meant to be.
With HBO focusing on serving its subscribers and not taking a gamble at the box office, the movie idea was eventually shot down. Instead, the producers were assured by executives that they would eventually have everything they need to create the epic series finale.

Which would you prefer, a movie trilogy or a final season with six episodes?
