Andrzej Sapkowski is a person who does not mince his words, regardless of how distinguished he turns into on a world stage after Netflix’s adaptation of his Witcher collection grew to become a smash hit. However even with that status, there’s one thing extremely humorous about how prepared the person is to only not give a single care on this planet about discussing his perfunctory relationship together with his streaming success.
We already talked about yesterday how Sapkowski—talking at an look throughout Comedian Con Vienna—casually dismissed that Netflix’s plans to keep expanding on its Witcher franchise exterior of the live-action series had been simply merely extra issues that will preserve him paying his hire. However it seems, on the similar panel (through the Hollywood Reporter), Sapkowski was additionally clear on how little Netflix really paid consideration to him exterior of sending a examine.
“Perhaps, I gave them some concepts, however they by no means listened to me. However it’s regular,” Sapkowski mentioned when requested if he had any enter into the narrative of the present, earlier than imitating an govt: “Who’s this? It’s a author, it’s no person.”
It’s maybe unsurprising given, as we mentioned, Sapkowski’s notorious status for saying no matter he rattling effectively likes. However it’s attention-grabbing contemplating the deepening criticism of The Witcher adaptation because it’s progressed, and additional diverged from the characterization and narrative of Sapkowski’s tales because it’s gone on. In any case, a persistent rumor across the shock exit of star Henry Cavill after the third season was that the actor, an ardent fan of the books and CD Projekt Crimson’s Witcher video games, clashed with producers over artistic variations regarding a perceived lack of faithfulness to the supply materials.
However nonetheless, it’s not like Sapkowski is de facto complaining. Like he says, Netflix does what it desires; he will get hire cash and may do no matter he desires, too.
