It has been a couple of years ever since the giant streaming platform Netflix revealed that The Witcher series will be adapted into a TV show. Several months ago, Netflix finally confirmed some of the actors that would comprise the cast of the upcoming TV series with Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill leading the pack as Geralt of Rivia. Now, a leaked photo was discovered online that shows a shot of the actor in action. Unfortunately, the photo was taken high above the ground, which makes it difficult to see Cavill in his Witcher outfit. It was confirmed that the photo was taken last Saturday from the highest point of the Spanish island La Palma, where the show is currently filming, and is set to move to the northern part of the island where the rest of the shoot will take place. Although the image makes it difficult to see what Cavill looks like in full costume, Netflix previously released a screen test showing the actor in costume and makeup. The preview was received with mixed … [Read more...] about Netflix’s The Witcher Leak Shows Henry Cavill in Costume

CD Projekt Red Won’t Pay Witcher Author $16 Million But An Alternative Resolution May Be Reached
Anyone that’s a fan of the Witcher video game series is by now familiar with Andrzej Sapkowski, the writer of the book series that the game was based on. If they are, they also probably know about his demand of $16 million from the game developers. A recent update to the story reaffirms that CD Projekt Red doesn’t plan on paying the Witcher author all that money, however, a new consensus may be reached. “The arrangements between the parties are ongoing. You should receive information about the solution within a month. There is a chance for a settlement, but this is not yet a foregone conclusion. It can be a form of appreciating Sapkowski’s work. His character, talent and potential when it comes to helping the company create ideas.” This might actually be a really good consensus. CD Projekt Red won’t be paying the Witcher author, but instead, they’ll be bringing him on board. That way, he can contribute to the creative process behind future … [Read more...] about CD Projekt Red Won’t Pay Witcher Author $16 Million But An Alternative Resolution May Be Reached
The Witcher TV Series Writer Promises a Mature Experience
report this adAlthough many are indubitably excited to see The Witcher come to Netflix, several have also voiced concerns about some of the casting decisions, especially when it was revealed that the show was looking for a minority actress to play Ciri (with Freya Allan ultimately receiving the role). Whatever the case, these concerns forced the showrunner Lauren Hissrich to leave social media, only returning in spurts to discuss negative remarks as a writer or to reveal small details. In a recent tweet, Hissrich revealed that she had just watched a cut of The Witcher, remarking that the show was definitely not for 5-year-olds. Hopefully, this mature approach to the show and its material is able to do justice to the lore-rich world belonging to Geralt of Rivia. And hopefully, this does much to squash the qualms that many are having with this show pre-launch.It’s worth mentioning that the show began production a few months back, and as expected, it does not yet have a solid launch … [Read more...] about The Witcher TV Series Writer Promises a Mature Experience

CD Projekt Red Created Awesome Farewell Video for Departing Dev
report this adBeing a game designer is often a brutal labor of love, and one that often doesn’t receive the appreciation it deserves from game developing and publishing companies. However, the same can’t be said of CD Projekt Red and Brad, an Animation Lead that recently departed the company, as the team wouldn’t let him go without a proper send-off. Turnover is high at most gaming companies, with new team members coming in and old ones leaving all the time, but Brad Auty apparently stood out as someone special. A small team at CD Projekt Red created a short animated tribute to the man on his departure from the company. The video exalts Brad’s hard work during his three years at CD Projekt Red, his talent, and how he motivated his team. Over his years there, he rose in the ranks from Animator to Animation Lead, and even helped to bring the beloved card game Gwent of The Witcher to life.This video might seem at odds with the negative attention CD Projekt Red has … [Read more...] about CD Projekt Red Created Awesome Farewell Video for Departing Dev
