The Witcheris an exception to this tradition.
They were the breadwinners, they were the ones who were allowing the generations below them to survive.
Henry Cavill did all his own stunts
The WitcherstarHenry Cavillis a longtime fan of Sapkowskis books.
Every time Geralt is on screen, Henry is on screen, even if its just his hand.
No one else acts as Geralt, Hissrich says.
To clarify, she notes, That is not normal, for various reasons.
Hissrich continues, Obviously we have Henrys safety to look out for, thats our first consideration.
Everything has to be safe, and he needs to be protected.
So Henry didnt think he could fully embody Geralt without doing that aspect too.
I had written a lot of words, alotof words, for him.
And what we realized is our Geralt is a little more stoic, doesnt always respond.
We like to make fun of his grunts.
He answers in grunts a lot.
That I think is one of the biggest changes.
The other things we tried to stay true to.
Geralts dry sense of humor was really important to us.
There are three main characters at the center of the story: Yennefer, Ciri, and Geralt.
But this way, viewers can see each characters story lines building up .
This allows Yennefer and Ciri to be co-equal protagonists with Geralt rather than secondary characters in his journey.
I hopped out of the shower and asked my husband, Do you think thats crazy?
Do you think this could work?
On the second episode of the podcast, Chalotra explains how she matched these depictions.
Thats something I thought about a lot.
I couldnt change too much about myself.
It wasnt about affecting anything.
Her breath as a 40-year-old woman would be different at that stage of her life.
