“King. King beyond the wall.” These words are spoken in a surprisingly accurate reproduction of Kit Harington's voice over an image of his character, Jon Snow, his frightened face turned away from the fiery sunset falling on the ice.

House of the Dragon finale brings polarizing Game of Thrones debate to the forefront
The season two finale of House of the Dragon reignited the age-old GoT debate over who exactly is the Prince That Was Promised.
Jon Snow actor Kit Harington said the spin-off was “out of the question” because “we couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all pretty excited. So, we decided to put the tools down for the time being.” He offered a glimmer of hope by saying, “There may be a time in the future when we come back to it, but right now, no. It's firmly on the shelf.”
The lack of a strong story ultimately prompted Harington to abandon the project, saying, “I thought there might be an interesting and important story about the soldier after the war. I thought there might still be something to say and a story to tell in a fairly limited way. We spent a couple of years back and forth developing it. And it didn't happen… nothing excited us enough. In the end, I backed out. and he said, “I think if we push it further and continue to develop it we could end up with something that's not good. And that's the last thing any of us want.”

The 10 Game of Thrones Characters That Differ Most From the Books
Game of Thrones is best known for its quirky storytelling and for departing from the source material to provide different versions of key lore characters.
The fan-made trailer is a glimpse of what might have been. What kind of story could emerge from the future of Jon Snow's character? What interesting plot threads did Harington and his team miss? This trailer shows an epic journey that is now unlikely to ever happen. Still, it's nice to dream. And what a strange and grand dream awaits us in this trailer! It depicts a Jon Snow haunted by the ghosts of his past, by the embrace of the lover he murdered, and by the words of prophecy that set him on his path. He is sent on another epic quest, this time to defeat a dormant god of darkness. He searches for meaning in this new journey, asking, “Am I the prince that was promised or am I just Jon Snow?”
The fan-trailer was created using generative AI
The film, created by Wicked AI, was made with a number of generative AI tools, including Midjourney, LumaLabs, RunwayML, Magnific, Elevenlabs, and Topaz AI, according to the video description. The visuals are startlingly lifelike, but the shimmering, painterly details and fluid, fluttering motion give the whole thing a slightly eerie feel. These tools are impressive in their ability to generate realistic images from text prompts, especially when compared to where they were just a few years or even months ago.
But the ethical question weighs heavily on all AI-generated art. Many creators have denounced AI art, and for good reason. These tools were created by extracting billions of images from the Internetincluding works by artists who were never compensated or given a choice about whether their work would be used. However, this is hardly the fault of some YouTuber who created a fan trailer for a series they were excited to watch. If anyone is to blame, it is the big tech companies that scraped the data, not the people who use these tools for fun.
Regardless of where you stand on the debate over the art of AI, this trailer is a fun look at a world that will probably never exist. It heralds a great epic that may soothe the hearts of those who were eager to watch the real thing. Snowor it could further fuel the flames of disappointment. Either way, it is a curious artifact of an untold story.
