Exactly! EUROPEAN books, game(s), and movie I hope. As i said before, i doubt if Europeans(western) get "The Witcher", so please Americans don't even think of doing the movie. I wouldn't mind cooperation tho...
Hmm first of all I hope despite all the odds that we get a good european director doing the Witcher. Hollywood needs some serious competition.But then again, I also hope if Hollywood will get to do the movie, they keep in mind that this is a story for adults - and leave the prudish moral crap back at home next to their well hidden porn magazines.A friend of mine told me the american version of the game has been castrated because of the erotic scenes.. lol... USA is one of the biggest harbor for porn industry... so why the false modesty about sex in games? But that's another discussion.I would to see that happen with the movie as well... Splatter-horror and porn isn't for kids either and still gets sold... and no one complains about the stuff in there. But in fantasy and scifi movies and games they get all barmy over it...
 
I think The Witcher could work as an HBO TV series, like "Rome" or the upcoming "A Song of Ice and Fire" based on George R. R. Martin's books.

My feelings exact. In a series you have time to show more of fantasy world and deepen the characters. The only problem is money. Making a fantasy world believable takes an extremely dedicated crew and lots of special effects expertise. Rome is based very strongly on historical facts about Rome and Roman culture. Creating a setting for a Witcher tv-series would at least take a similar amount of effort.
 
My pick for the movie:Geralt: Steven SegallTriss: Jennifer LopezShani: Pamela AndersonSiegfried: Tom GreenThaler: Rob SchneiderDeclan Lauvaarden: William ShatnerZoltan Chivay: Chuck NorrisDandelion: Jack BlackAlvin: Chuck NorrisBerengar: Chevy ChaseCarmen: Paris Hilton

I would love it, that or perhaps a full 3D (no mocap) movie as the like of "Beowulf".

;D ;D LOLYou forgot to mention Monty Python's group as the producers and directors :)...And Jack Black as Dandelion... That'd be some bard, you know... with The Lute Of DestinyThough the other good variant for Dandelion would be Weird Al Yankovic ;D ;DAlso you should've added britney spears as Vesna Hood and John Rhys-Davis as The Grandmaster.P.S: And being serious, I can suggest Johny Depp as Dandelion and Nicole Kidman as Triss. And Bruce Willis as Berengar ;D
 
The Hexer, which was the European movie that wasn't translated to English. as far as I know was a complete failure.If they do decide to make a Movie, all I ask is that they stay away from LOTR influences, on The Hexer that was a issue that killed the movie, a long with the terrible story line that left the viewer constantly confused through out the movie.
 
If it goes about similarity to the game character ,Josh Holloway would be perfect to me....as Geralt ofcourse ;)http://lost.gwrota.com/postacie/sawyer.jpg

you think Steven Seagal would be better? LOL
If only for a comedy variant, yes :) Or even Van Damme XD
Ohh noes. Not Seagal...Why don't they render the movie? With nowadays technology you can render that stuff and make it look almost real.And I sooooo hope if there is a movie that we get to see a little more of the evil guys doing their stuff ;-) love peeking behind the scenes of the underground. Especially when I get to see Azar Javed stoned from fisstech - lolling on a bear rug...

In the meantime our friend the Magister makes pictures of him stoned and spreads them all over the kingdom under the "The Reason Why One Shouldn't Use Fisstech" slogan.

Where do you get the info about the success in sales from?I am interested to know because if you think a game and the books have shoot up there to be worthy of making a Hollywood production, the sakes must be outstandingly successful compare with other products in the market.
The sales haven't reched one milion yet, I said "if" :) But to tell the truth there were worse games and main characters that were turned to movie. The Witcher is very good material, there wasn't such a movie - dark fantasy with very real characters.
There was already a Witcher movie and it was bad as hell.

The Witcher Hollywood movie, that sounds great!!!!
Forget Hollywood. You make racist remark - it will be cut, you make sexist remark - it will be cut, you make some intelligent remark which would require some thinking - it will be cut. Why? Because it is fantasy, right? So the whole family must understand that. Paul Verhoeven is your best bet ;)
