The Witcher 3 is one of the best rated video games of the year and it will now become a feature film. Videogame adaptations into film have not always been the most successful of projects, but when all else fails, try again.
According to TIME, The Witcher is a movie that is happening and it is set to come out sometime in 2017. The Witcher game series is based off of Andrzej Sapkowski’s collection The Last Wish, and the story centers around a superhuman monster hunter named Geralt, who is known as the witcher.
The actual film will not be a direct adaptation on the game but it will be based on the themes of the book series, Screen Rant reports. If the film is a success, there is a possibility it may become a television series. The stories will be adapted by screenwriter Thania St. John and directed by Tomasz Bagiński.
The video game franchise has a great story and does a commendable job at developing characters and emotion, but it does not always reflect well on screen. In the past, movies based on games have been horrible, to say the least, but with the positive feedback of the recent Warcraft trailer, it gives fans hope.
