What exactly is new? This is old news.
Platige's Tomek Baginski, who directed all three Witcher video game intro cinematics, will be involved as one of the directors.

Eh, maybe Sapkowski will get lucky and score some royalties this time. :p

But seriously the old Polshow will be hard to beat. Had quite a few chuckles as I remember

Oh no, I smell a Game of Thrones clone coming along.

I'm guessing they called my fellow Dane Mads for this role ;)

While possible it doesn't have to be so since Sapkowski's style is very different from Martin's

Suprised no one made Hexxxer, based on first game so far.
They'd even have to throw out half the scenes, Geralt sure gets around. ;)

Speaking of butts and boobs, whose butts and boobs you would like to see? :lol:

I am sure the ladies here can chime in on the man butt and boobs they like to see but I will make go at the women!

Yennefer - Kate Beckinsale, Morena Baccarin or Eve Green
Triss - Vittoria Puccini
Ciri - Emma watson!

Og what the feck,

Geralt - Mads Mikkelsen or Viggo Mortensen

I don't need to see her boobs&butt or anything but I think Jennifer Connelly would be perfect for Yennefer.

I'd go with Mads for Geralt.

Sean Bean should play Vesemir since he dies ;)

yeah, Mads would make a perfect Geralt. I would also LOVE to see Emma as Ciri. Still thinking about Jennifer but I would definitively like a natural redhead in Triss' role.

I'm pretty excited about the Netflix production. They can fuck it up, but they could also make something great about an already successful story. E.g., with Fargo, the series after the movies were amongst the best stuff ever produced.
Of course hoping for GoT level quality. I guess they'll need some more cgi than GoT, which (I always read) is the expensive part.

Apparently Henry Cavill wants to play Geralt in Netflix's Adaptation of The Witcher!

He has apparently played the game twice and read the books!

For some reason I can't picture Henry Cavill as dude with his head phones on playing Witcher 3, but what do I know!

Anyway I am not sure if he will make a good Geralt but you never know.

That sounds like a terrible choice. Mads Mikkelsen is the way to go, really.
 
Henry Cavill
No. Geralt is not supposed to be Hollywood cute plastic nor a perfect face alien from another planet.
Mads Mikkelsen
No. Doesn't look mutant but sociopath.

The character needs charm, no cuteness and a bit of geriatrics. That makes either Jim Caviezel or Vincent Cassel perfect for the role.
No risks they fall to the diversity brigade.
Silence will fall and Pandorica will open.
