In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Maisie Williams was asked if she would do more independent projects after Games of Thrones and was given the example of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Twilight. She said that she would “absolutely” go the indie route. She explained that the industry is “very different” to what it was when The Twilight Saga concluded, in the sense that the television industry has skyrocketed recently and not as many indie films are being made. The actor stated that people who have these “really wonderful indie stories” have now started stretching them out and making them into TV shows because it is more likely to get made. Williams mentioned that there are still some indie filmmakers, and she has been meeting with a lot of them.
