Witcher netflix series

[ColonicAcid]

I doubt Mads mikkelsen will play Geralt. They are gonna go for the young geralt, and when it was confirmed to be a movie, Tomasz baginski said the plan was for The Witcher and The Lesser evil short stories, and those happen before Geralt has even met Yennefer.

A younger witcher could still be >50 though. Mads would be a sick actor for Witcher, I ****ing love him.

 

[Mr.Milker]

One would hope the action is good in a witcher series, hopefully not with clear stuntmen doing all the work. They need a younger actor.

 

[TheFlyingFishy]

How old is Viggo Mortensen?


I Googled. He's 58. A tad old, I'd say, but he seems like he's still pretty athletic. Still, I reckon Milker's right and he wouldn't be able to pull off the super fluent action scenes inherent in being a Witcher. Sad.

 

[Mr.Milker]

People are talking about this guy. Never seen him in anything. He looks vaguely too American to me, but overall a viable choice. (he's 44)

 

[TheFlyingFishy]

Oh, hey, it's Cullen Bohannon. Anson Mount, I think was his name. He's in Hell on Wheels, and he's actually really good. The character he plays is deep voiced, exceedingly practical, haunted, and driven, with a strong but veiled sense of morality. Sounds familiar. You should watch Hell on Wheels, by the way.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Good news but, why Netflix?

Because they have money and they're willing to experiment.

 

[HoJu]

This is a more relevant thread so I'll quote myself

Tha guy that did Charles Vane in Black Sails looks to me like a good potential Geralt

 

[Wulfburk]

Yeah he looks the part. Also has that deep voice.

 

[Temuzu]

Its been a while since I heard Geralt, but wasn't his voice kind of raspy rather than deep? I suppose it was deep as well, but the raspiness was what I thought made the voice what it was.

I hope the actors will be European, American accent in this setting would bug me quite a lot.

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

Having Europeans speaking English would most likely sound American anyway. Unless they do the whole thing in Polish, they're not going to have a bunch of actors speaking in ESL accents. It'd sound weird.

 

[Moose!]

It's medieval fantasy - they will have British accents.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

You should feel lucky that it's done at all. If it was a German production (German VO as well of course) it's just perfect radio High German and done.
No accents, nothing to differentiate cultures or regions, nothing.

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

Only other country I can think of where that happens is China.

People already have an accent for Geralt down though.


It's the video game voice actor. Who uses an American accent.

 

[Moose!]

Maybe it will be about young Geralt, and they'll get the voice actor to do melodramatic voiceovers a la The Wonder Years.

Vilgefortz surely!

I didn't like Geralt's voice, to be honest. I found it overly rough.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Ditto. Not too much of a fun of that VA.

 

[Goker]

It was a bit too weird in the Hearts of Stone DLC because he was saying things he never would and that felt too forced. Probably intended but it still made me grimace at times.
