The 8-episode series is expected to air in 2020 and will be filmed in and around Poland.
Elena-Jaye Krampus Golding excuse me Henry Cavill cannot play Geralt this is a fucking tragedy
Oh god what
No no
No amount of beard can hide that chin
We should start a petition for Mads
Elena-Jaye Krampus Golding TBH I wanted Jeffrey Dean John Morgan
…whoops I just tagged John
Oh well
JDM would be perfect
In books Geralt didn’t have a beard. There was mention in books that he do not like it. So if they want to be close to organ story from books he will not hide that square chin.
Maybe so but if he doesn’t look like people expect (eg, cosplayers) then this may just flop. It’s incredibly hard getting people into a fantasy show and a lot fail. GOT is an incredibly rare exception.
