The Witcher: Meet The Actresses Playing Ciri & Yennefer



The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the rest of the cast for The Witcher, including the two young women who will play princess Ciri and Yennefer the sorceress. The two will have a close relationship with Henry's Geralt of Rivia.


The Witcher cast is finally here.  ITS FINALLY HAPPENING (via Netflix)

1: Henry Cavill is Geralt of Rivia... you probably already knew that though.
2: The enigmatic sorceress Yennefer will be played by Anya Chalotra.
3: Then there's Ciri. 17 year old Oxfordshire-native Freya Allan will play the pivotal Princess of Cintra!
4: From the court at Cintra: Queen Calanthe is Jodhi May.
5: Fledgling sorceress Fringilla is played by Mimi Ndiweni.
6: Sabrina is Therica Wilson-Read.
7: Millie Brady joins as the outcast Princess Renfri.
8: The druid Mousesack is played by Adam Levy
9: And Queen Calanthe's husband, the knight Eist, will be played by Björn Hlynur Haraldsson.
10: Tissaia, head of the magical academy, is MyAnna Buring.
The Hollywood Reporter also has a new interview with showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich.

Here are the questions relating to Henry:

The Witcher series, while centered on Geralt, features many strong female characters. Will the show feature Ciri and Yennefer in prominent roles alongside Geralt?

Yeah, what’s interesting is the first couple books are told from Geralt’s perspective and when I was reading them I saw that there are all these other characters who are very strong and powerful; not just the women, by the way. They can be pulled to the forefront so it doesn’t always feel like just Geralt’s journey, because the journey of one man is never going to be very interesting. It’s only going to be as interesting as the people he interacts with. That’s why these characters are rising in prominence in the series.

Did you intentionally cast lesser-known actors opposite Cavill, who is an established name?

Not specifically, nor were we looking for a movie star when we cast Henry. We’re looking for the best actors for these roles. Period. End of story. It comes down to the best actor for the role. Henry’s obviously a big fan of the franchise. We met in early April and had a very general meeting. I then went off and met with hundreds of other candidates for Geralt and never really got Henry out of my mind. In casting Anya and Freya, the cool thing was we were open to anyone and both of them, to me, embody the spirits of the characters.

Filming is expected to start very soon, so keep checking back for the latest production updates.

'Mission: Impossible 6' Filming Details: Get Ready Paris!

A post shared by Christopher McQuarrie (@christophermcquarrie) on

Are you ready Paris, here we go!

Le Parisien has revealed new alleged details, on the Mission: Impossible 6 filming taking place in and around the 15th arrondissement (district) this weekend.

According to the paper, starting tomorrow the area around Garibaldi Boulevard will be closed to traffic ahead of a two day shoot Sunday and Monday. Parking will also be banned.

Two helicopters will reportedly fly over Paris this Friday and Saturday, taking aerial shots in the Bercy neighborhood and along the Seine.



Filming is expected to last until Monday afternoon, so keep your eyes open if you're there!

Tom Cruise has been spotted in Paris, along with director Chris McQuarrie. We don't know when Henry will be on set, but we'll keep you updated throughout filming.

UPDATE: Our contributor Rebecca translated Le Parisien's article for you:

Sunday, you'll have to rush to see Tom Cruise, but especially, as soon as Friday, you'll have to use cunning to cross the area of Boulevard Garibaldi, in Paris, in the 15th arrondissement.

 In anticipation of two days of Paris filming of the next "Mission Impossible" production 6 of the American blockbuster, a large part of the boulevard Garibaldi neighbourhood will be prohibited to all traffic and parking, well before they film on Sunday. The shooting is expected to last until Monday in the early afternoon, and the prohibition will neutralise the neighbourhood from 8am this Friday until 2pm Monday.

Moreover, for the needs of the film, two helicopters will be made to fly over the capital, this Friday and Saturday. They should take aerial shots of the Bercy neighbourhood and along the Seine.

For the fans, just take your binoculars and hope to see Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Vanessa Kirby or director Chris McQuarrie. The new adventures of Ethan Hunt (..) is due for release at the end of July 2018. Other scenes should be shot elsewhere other than on boulevard Garibaldi. So keep your eyes open.



The AFP has released a statement from the Mayor of Paris, that welcomes the "significant economic benefits of the shoot" -- reportedly amounting to about 25 million euros.


According to the release, production will run in the capital for 35 (discontinuous) days, which will allow the hiring of more than 300 French technicians, substantial accommodation expenses for technical and artistic teams from the United States and England, and an increase in activity for tech service providers (equipment rental, special effects).

HERE'S THE FULL RELEASE.

The Huffington Post reached out to the city for details on the shoot, and this is what they were told:

 "We do not have the right to communicate on the premises involved in the shooting, but the neighbors in the neighborhoods are warned for the film's needs," said the City of Paris to the HuffPost before conceding: "The teams of the film are rather cautious about security issues. "

Mission Cinema, which manages filming in the capital, has contacted The HuffPost and given some details about this meticulous organization: "It is a film with many stunts, which involves intervention for example, the street management takes care of removing street furniture, such as poles, for the needs of the film, and the service that manages the green spaces of Paris is responsible for the protection of the gardens and lawns ".

Tom Cruise Arrives In Paris To Kick Off Filming On 'M:I6'

A post shared by Christopher McQuarrie (@christophermcquarrie) on

Director Christopher McQuarrie has been teasing for months, that Paris would be a key location for Mission: Impossible 6. And Tom Cruise has now arrived to kick off filming with a big rooftop stunt!






The actor was spotted with the film's director earlier today. The French press has been reporting that Tom will be filming some scenes on the helipad of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

via JDD

Last month as McQuarrie prepared for filming in London, he gave Empire a preview of what we're in for:

“It’s going great!,” he enthusiastically told us. “We start shooting on April 10th in Paris. It’s a very different Ethan Hunt, I can promise you that.” Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson are confirmed to return, of course, but McQuarrie teased some old faces returning from the franchise – ”including people you would not expect to be back.”

We asked the filmmaker how on Earth he planned to top Rogue Nation’s signature opening stunt, which saw Cruise’s Ethan Hunt hang of the side of a plane. “I don’t know!” was his response. “And I have to find out by April 10th. I may have found something today. I came to Tom with a picture of something and Tom looked at it and said, ‘That’s awesome! I want to fall off of that!’ It’s like, OK, I can see it on a poster, and I can see Tom falling off of it.”

McQuarrie offered no specifics as to what The Cruiser would fall off, but did reveal that M:I 6 would not open in such a bombastic way as its predecessor: “It starts in a very unconventional way,” he explained. “It does notstart with action. That was the hardest pitch of this movie.”

He also hinted that it would delve deeper into character study territory. “I’ve seen five of these movies and I don’t know who Ethan Hunt is. One movie sort of dealt with his personal life; the other movies are about people speculating what’s really going on in Ethan’s head. I want to know who Ethan is in this movie, I want an emotional journey for this character, and Tom really embraced it.”

His approach this time, then, was to say “‘I don’t want to string together a bunch of action scenes, I want to actually deal with character’. So I put Ethan in a bunch of complicated moral quandaries, and I’m trying to find ways to connect them – and then, ironically, the way to connect them was through giant action scenes.”

 You can listen to the rest, that includes more M:I6 details on Empire's podcast.

In addition to the locations McQuarrie scouted in Paris, his Instagram account is filled with photos from other places that could end up in the film.

For sure the cast and crew are headed to New Zealand, and media there say filming will likely take place in and around Queenstown. READ MORE.

India is also a confirmed location, and we got some details from Mumbai earlier this week.

Finally, there's word that Supergirl actor Fred Schmidt has joined the latest mission, along with Dean Ashton.


Last we heard from Henry, he was traveling with Kal as he prepared for filming to begin. But again, no word yet on when he'll be on set. Stay tuned for the latest Mission: Impossible 6 news as it happens.
