God no. Delevigne has been awful in anything I've seen her in. Watson just doesn't fit. Ciri is going to have to start out as a child too if they go by the books and she is pretty tall for a woman as she gets older. I'd rather an unknown.
I agree. Kate Beckinsale is too Kate Beckinsale. I dunno if she could pull off the haughty bitchiness of Yennefer either. Eva Greene could do it. Eva Greene could probably play Geralt and make it convincing.
That last line I do agree with but reminds me of Modern Family where Cam says
Good god no! Especially the latter.
The only problem with Eva Greene is that it could end up like Penny Dreadful where she acts everyone else off the screen. Other than that she would be perfect.
Darn.
I might be wrong, but I *think* I remember reading that when the show was announced. Could be wrong and it could’ve changed.
Really? I guess I’m wrong about it only being the first two novellas then. I’m pretty sure Regis is introduced within the third or fourth when the overarching plot - Geralt and his hansa try to find Ciri - is laid out.
Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter?
There's about 15 years of story to be told between Geralt's fight against the Striga and Regis' introduction.
I really wonder how they're going to condense the short stories in a way that makes sense. Some of them explain how Geralt became such an infamous Witcher, others set up his link to Ciri, with the law of surprise in Cintra and others explain his chaotic relationship with Yennefer. They really can't afford to rush that part of the story.Yes, Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter ^^
Wouldn't say that they're above her - bar Vilgefortz - but you can put all of them around the same level, after the main trio. Triss got a heavy upgrade on the games though, when she became Yen's replacement for the first two games.
I am a bit worried about short stories. They're good and fun, and more importantly introduce the main trio (and some other supporting characters). Geralt-Ciri relations is the main thing in the saga, and is introduced on the first book, while Geralt-Yen(a) story is important and the Gini fight would be fun.
This is exactly why they need to pull all the stops to cast her. Eva Green as Yen would make it more than watchable even if everything else sucks. And let's face it, who doesn't want to see what Eva Green can make of Yennefer?
I'm already terrified of Yennefer. I don't need Eva Green making that all too real! She is brilliant though, I can't even work out if I find her attractive or just insanely talented. Is she really that hot or just acting?This is exactly why they need to pull all the stops to cast her. Eva Green as Yen would make it more than watchable even if everything else sucks. And let's face it, who doesn't want to see what Eva Green can make of Yennefer?
Have you watched The Dreamers? probably her best work she has ever done, cough, cough, it’s for sure because she is extremely talented. Penny Dreadful everyone else was dreadful except her, she should be the number 1 target.
I think she's a stunning woman, but I have a soft spot for French women. Don't know about hot, I don't think that word fits her.
. Quit playing after that.I agree in a way. Obviously tho there will likely be significantly more humor in this than in Vikings tho. I guess now that I think about it Vikings has almost no humor at all. Seeing how this show will inevitably need be a bit sfx heavy tho making it dark imho is the only way to also draw in the crowd that doesn't like fairies and dragons so to speak. In a way this show should build up the sfx heavy stuff like GoT did. I've talked to many people who said they normally don't like fantasy stuff but they like watching it for the darker things like the human intrigue part. The more classical fantasy stuff it contains didn't show up to a larger degree until people were already hooked on the show.
Aye, there should be some comical relief filled with cursing and fecking around but my fear is the actor who will play Dandelion. I doubt they'll cast someone vastly talented like T.Hiddlestone but it's really important character for the Witcher's lore. It has to be someone who will deliver both comedic and bit more serious tone as in many times Geralt's only true friend.
Not surprised, kinda had a feeling they would do something along those lines with someone, although if it’s Ciri then surely that would mean changes for other characters like her father or mother, possibly even Nilfgard.
There is another one with Eva Green the same guy has done but it wasn’t all that good. I barely recognised her as well in that picture.
Political correctness is the most important thing in our era. The problem is for people who have read the books and played the games, at the beginning will be weird to see Ciri look totally different from books/game.
Why wouldn't they be? There's nothing wrong with diversity, but the way Hollywood, games and the media have ham fistedly handled it the last few years there was always going to be backlash.People are so angry over this!
Alexandra Daddario as Triss, no reasons at all for that suggestion
