'Justice League' Throwback, Behind The Scenes Video


 ''Shout out to these superheroes"

It's been an exciting time as we look ahead to the release of The Witcher this fall but also sort of  bitterweet, with no word on when Superman will return to the big screen.

This past Sunday was "National Superhero Day," and photographer Savannah McMillan shared this 2016 throwback pic of Henry, Ray Fisher, Jason Momoa and Sofia Boutella in London. The guys were filming Justice League at the time, and back then Ray posted a photo from that April night.



Just today, celebrity trainer David Higgins shared this never-before-seen behind the scenes from the set of Justice League with Ray reposting it. Good memories all around!

Hopefully we don't have to wait too long before hearing what the future holds for Supes.

The Witcher Prod. News, Costar Talks Henry & Kal, New Poll


Since Kal came into Henry's life as he was about to start filming Batman v Superman at the end of 2013, the fluffy Akita has been his constant companion. Kal goes to most of Henry's movie sets and recently actor Maciej Musiał confirmed that it's no different on the set of The Witcher. In a new interview Musial mentioned Kal... and then basically described Henry's crush-worthiness:

"I filmed with him. I looked him in the eye all day long. He's incredibly handsome, mega beautiful. In the flesh even more. And painfully nice. He always took his dog on set."


You can read more on how Musial got The Witcher role, at netflixwitcher on Reddit.

While we now know that the Netflix series will definitely come out this year, filming is still going on in Hungary. Just a few days ago, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich shared a peek at a potential location.

'The Witcher' Set For End Of The Year Release, Could Have Been A Movie

Images: Netflix


Netflix has confirmed that The Witcher will be released at the end of the year.

During a call with investors Tuesday, Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos revealed the fantasy series would launch in Q4 via Variety:

“And then you start seeing later in the fourth quarter some of our bigger film investments coming through like ‘Irishman,’ like ‘6 Underground’ and also a big new original series that we’re currently shooting in Hungary called ‘The Witcher,’ that is an enormous European IP, very popular game and Book IP, that we think is going to make a really fun global series.”


A series that was almost a movie!

Publishers Weekly got the scoop, while talking to V.P. of creative for international originals at Netflix Kelly Luegenbiehl:

When Netflix’s creative executives discussed adapting Polish novelist Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher series, Luegenbiehl’s team dissuaded the producers from making a standalone film. Luegenbiehl recalled asking them, “How can you take eight novels and just turn it into a film? There’s so much material here. There’s so much that you can do.” She added, “Through a number of conversations, the producers got really excited about the idea of using the source material for a longer-running series.”


Now that the final season of Game of Thrones is underway, The L.A. Times has The Witcher on its list of new series that could take the show's place in the hearts of viewers:

Odds of winning the crown: 25/1

What’s it about? Based on a series of books by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski that has been translated into 20 languages, the show will follow a monster-tracking bounty hunter named Geralt, a morally ambiguous hero who’s beginning to learn the humans he encounters may be the real monsters.

Pros: With magic, monarchy and monsters amid breathtaking European settings (Hungary’s Vajdahunyad Castle appeared in a brief teaser), you can’t get more in the world-building wheelhouse for “Game of Thrones” fans.


Cons: A fantasy tale from Poland informed by Slavic folklore may not be the easiest sell to a mass audience, and Netflix’s ability to create a buzz strong enough to sustain an expensive series (see: “Marco Polo”) has yet to be proven.

We have a feeling those cons will quickly dissipate, once the show premieres later this year.

After filming wraps up in Budapest, we'll continue bringing you updates on everything The Witcher -- so keep checking back for the latest news on this exciting series.
