The original Polish voice in the games doesn't sound raspy at all.
EDIT: Not being picky or hipster-ish bringing up the Polish VO, it was by far the best way to experience the first two games, possibly 3. The English voice acting only got as decent by the third game.
You're being a little bit hipsterish. Polish Geralt was always better, but everyone else was much worse in the first two games. Even actors who went on to deliver superior performances in the full cast audiobooks were badly miscast in the video games.
They've improved a lot by Wild Hunt and that one definitely sounds better in Polish.
Yeah that wod have been an interesting choice as well.
Also I'm very disappointed with Yennefer, dont nderstand the people liking her choice. She looks like a young 20 year old. Yennefer should look more older than that, early 30s.
Look, we all know Yen is 90+. As long as the actress can can convey being a very old person in a (vain) young body, we should be fine.
And as long as we haven't really seen her act, she gets the benefit of doubt from me.
First published interview of Comicon with the showrunner
EW misidentifies the character Chalotra plays as Ciri, but other than that it's a decent interview.

The promising thing is we know that they cast Chalotra despite her being younger than the brief, so her performance must have been strong (or the alternatives diabolical)
Sounds really promising. I like pretty much everything she's saying.
Although his alleged aversion against a beard is insanely overblown by some.
It is a single point in the books where the beard was a constant reminder that Geralt was stuck and powerless. Shaving it off had a cathartic quality and signified to him that he was finally getting out of this place.
I dunno. If I still had the option to go into the show blind on those plots I think I might take it. See the show with nothing to compare it to.
The showrunner's descriptions of the series are rather odd. The series does have its villains and the recurring ones aren't the kind of people you'd ever find yourself rooting for. The focus on monsters is also strange as it might set expectations that will require some serious rewrites for subsequent seasons when the show would become The Ex-Witcher.
yeah, but I think considering we're mostly focusing on the short stories (for now, at least), I don't think there's any outright villain in those
though maybe that sorcerer guy in "The Lesser Evil" comes close IIRC
Keep in mind the first season is the short stories. There's no dedicated villain at this point and mostly monster of the episode for Geralt's side of things. I do think structurally there's gonna be some changes to later seasons though. But they do have some stories they skipped over that they could still insert back in later if they want other monster based tales.
I think the showrunners means to say is, there is no clear cut good guys and bad guys. Sort of like Jaime Lannister, who is complete bad guy in season 1. By end of GoT he is one of the heroes.
Man I'd have to replay Witcher 3 in Polish now.
I'm somewhat rusty but I'm curious now.
That would make sense, but we do know that Vilgefortz (god, I hope this doesn't become an actual spoiler) appears in the first season and I'm SO not interested in seeing anyone try to humanize that piece of shit.
I get that, but if they try to sell this as "the show with all the monsters and horror," that's likely going to shape what future seasons are going to look like.
Could a show like that really shift gears to become a slice of life road trip series? That would be rad, it just seems rather unlikely.
Yeah, there's a huge disconnect between the starting material and the later material that's gonna need some fixing. They worked on it in one direction adding Yennefer and Ciri's stories outside of Geralt to the first season, and I imagine they'll go the other direction adding more monsters to the road ahead. I've also wondered given the focus of the 3 of them in the marketing blurbs and even the logo if they'd really keep them all apart from each other for 3 seasons. Yennefer doesn't really even do a lot for a few books.
But that's kinda where my interests lie. I'm not so much looking for a faithful adaptation. I'm more interested in how they pick out these pieces, and add some new ones, and somehow rearrange them into a TV show that flows. But I'm probably very much in the minority in that way when it comes to people familiar with the books.
Unknown. Maybe we will get some teaser or behind the scenes production video.
I think we'll just have a teaser with the release date on it. Little if no in show footage. I'm guessing those pics of him riding Roach would be part of it.
This was what I was going to ask. I want something substantial that will either ease some of my doubts or confirm them lol
That interview was done a while ago most likely, based on some stuff in the interview talking about how Henry looks in the screen test and not on the pictures released recently.
I think she just looks weird next to Ciri and Geralt, as in, she looks weirdly young to be Geralt's partner and too young to be Ciri's "mother"
He's pretty charming, though
most probably a 30-60sec teaser... wherin at elast 15 sec are flying letters...
hey lookit it's a TV person casually dropping the p-word in an interview about their project meanwhile games industry people are terrified to utter it
Interview coming up on Entertainment Tonight Live in about 10 minutes.
edit: or not, it disappeared from their lineup 5 minutes before it was about to happen
Also Freya and Anya will be answering questions on the show's instagram

He looks much better when he's filthy, and so do those wigs.New Geralt pic?
Plz, Gary, don't ever bathe. It's not working out for you.
They're yellow but zooming in the pupil still looks pretty round. But I also remember someone mentioning that it only becomes cat like in the dark (even if that's actually backwards of how cat eyes work)
Nah, his eyes work as they should. One of the short stories mentions the ability to constrict his pupils into tiny slits so he wouldn't have to shield his eyes from the sun.

Yeah, same a916 both shows seem really interesting ( i saw some footage in the chicago star wars event from the spring and read the witcher books)
There is a facebook post circulating reddit that seems to indicate a teaser is coming today, possibly.

Not kidding, I'm a little excited for this show.
But I gotta say, I'm sad that it's Netflix that's doing it. I REALLY feel that the show will get hurt by the "all episodes at the same time" thing Netflix always does. A weekly show, going for like 2-3 months would really help discussion and fanbase.
