Fantasy Netflix's The Witcher - General Discussion Thread

[TheVileOne]

Found this on Netflix Witcher Reddit:

On Friday, 16th November, Andrzej Sapkowski was interviewed by Clarin, an Argentinian news site, about his books and the upcoming TV series. The interview has been summarized in English on witcher.tv.

Sapkowski has been involved with the newest television series- working with executive producer Lauren Hissrich on the concept and creation of the characters and the world itself. He describes Lauren as “a true professional,” and is optimistic about project. As for Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia? It seems he is also met with approval from the author, who mentions, “I approve, I believe in his gifts as an actor.”

In regards to any future works, there seems to be more adventures in the world of Geralt, but would not go beyond that. It seems fan of the books will have to eagerly wait for more details.

Kinda annoying that we haven’t gotten any leaked set photos. I remember we got a lot for Doom Patrol.

Have they started filming?

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Have they started filming?

Yes, weeks ago.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

For the most part they'll be on sets or locations that are probably quite a ways away from any populated areas, I'm not surprised we haven't gotten set photos.

Nothing yet. Music will be done in post, so we probably won't know about it for a while.

Oh it's definitely been a few weeks.

We only got pictures of him dressed as geralt 2 weeks ago as a costume test. You sure they haven't just been building sets, as i can't see anything on google saying they've begun filming?

The picture came out the first day of filming. So yeah, it’s been a couple of weeks.

I hope so, but I don’t expect anything until comic con.

Ouch, not like this.

 

[TheVileOne]

The show is probably not airing for about a year anyway.

September is my guess.

After FINALLY finishing the last book, The Lady of the Lake (I know, I know) I hope to GOD they do take the games continuation in some form.

(Btw, I mean last book in the saga).

Never know, cavill and the producer are active on twitter. Might see the odd pic while they are filming.

If they were to ever do that, they'd probably have to get a separate license on the game rights from CDPR. It just doesn't seem realistic.

Sort of like how the Hannibal series didn't have the rights to adapt any of the Silence of the Lambs material. Or I recall at least it was like that.

This is a show based on the books not the games. If they wanted to adapt the game material and continue it from an ending point on the TV series, they'd have to get those rights as well.

I felt the same way after finishing the book series. It was such a piss poor ending to an otherwise good story.

The games while taking liberties ends it all MUCH bettet despite it having a few misfires that dont really bring it down.

We can hope my friend....

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Still no set pics.... sigh.

They can also just change the ending for the series if they want, like the Watchmen film did.

 

[TheVileOne]

Something for VisionsVision. It's something at least.

 

[Lilbaz]

She's gotto get new freinds.
