WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN
NEW TRAILER AND POSTERS
While fans of The Witcher franchise are still reeling from the shock after Henry Cavill has left the show (rumour has it he did not see eye to eye with the
terrible script writers) and will give up the lead role to Liam Hemsworth after season three which should arrive sometime next summer, Netflix is counting on the prequel series WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN to save that ship from sinking. Well, judging by the trashy and cheap looking new trailer they probably should not raise their hopes too high, but you can check it out below together with new character posters for the four episode epic adventure series that arrives to the streamer at Christmas December 25th to give you some fun during the festive days. The posters show Sophia Brown as Éile, a warrior of the Queen's guard who leaves to become a traveling musician. Michelle 
Yeoh as Scian, the last member of a nomadic tribe of sword-elves on a mission to retrieve a blade stolen from her people, and
Laurence O'Fuarain 
as Fjall, a man born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a king, but instead sets out in need of vengeance! Jacob Collins Levy, Mark Rowley will also star in the show set 1,200 years before the events of The Witcher television 
series! BLOOD ORIGIN will depict the creation of the first Witcher, as well as the events leading to the "Conjunction of the Spheres". It will also explore the ancient Elven civilization before its demise.

As someone who collects dolls, I'd stream this out of sheer curiosity about how Iris' life changes in terms of her relationship with her sister after meeting Silas and also to find out who will develop the obsession because it seems that's where the turning point really gets creepy. Silas could be an easy pick for this considering his occupation, but with George being on the hunt its likelier viewers may see him going after Iris, but I wonder if it will it actually be Iris who becomes obsessed as she gets deeper into whatever dark world awaits her in the unknown. We shall see!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not usually into a lot of dark or creepy shows, I did watch some episodes of American Horror Story; that show is out of this world. Bring on the dolls ;)
Nice to see you so excited LOL
DeleteThat's why business and family don't mix. She just up and abandoned her sister? Good riddance to her.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea what happens.
