silentbob Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Henry Cavill and Chad Stahelski one of the directors of John Wick. So if they can basically give us that great sword scene from the first episode of The Witcher over and over again. . . . I think we just might have a movie. Now. . . .whose going to play his Connery?

skillzdadirecta Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Dear god yes... I need this movie NOW. As for who his Connery is? My guess is they go Person of Color or Woman. A better question is who is his Kurgan and who replaces that Queen soundtrack??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington if you go black... since Connery was playing a spaniard, how about Antonio Banderas or Salma Hayek?

All totally viable! Honestly, whoever they choose simply needs to just be older, generally irritable, and yet have a charming manner about them.

silentbob Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 I would love to see them combine it with the Asian martial arts style like in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Would love to see Chow Yun-Fat maybe play his mentor or go all Prestige with their relationship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chad Stahlenski at the helm, I doubt he would do that anyway. Not his style. I expect the fighting to be a lot more grounded and realistic... closer to John Wick and The Raid than any of the Asian Wire stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, if they can give me more of that sword fight from the end of the first Witcher episode. I would be pretty damn happy with that.

silentbob Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 I would love to see them keep using the soundtrack by Queen. If they need to add something new, well, most of them are still here. I know they use Lambert from American Idol fame, it I would replace him with the lead singer of The Struts, who is the closest I hear singer that can reach them Freddie like notes every now and then. Wish I got in faster when they opened for Foo Fighters in Toronto in ‘19, but at least he came out to help sing Under Pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's immortal you can do the sequels in each subsequent decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Come on guys. The OBVIOUS answer for who plays the Connery character....Christopher Lambert. As for the Kurgen...Jason Momoa. I don’t think they should get Queen to redo the soundtrack but I do think you have to have nods to it. Have the original theme playing in a bar. Maybe have a cover of Who Wants to Live Forever. But the sound track is def a high priority because of how iconic the first one was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleG Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Mads could work for Ramirez , I dont hate Momoa as The Kurgan. Bautista was talked about at one point for the role. I dont know how big name actors feel about playing a such a vile character and if they will keep the "rape" in the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Cavill confirmed that filming will begin in 2022. Why Henry Cavill Basically Already Is James Bond WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM The British actor with a soldier’s discipline, a gentleman’s demeanor and a high tolerance for “extreme punishment” opens up about 'The Witcher' season 2, 'Highlander,' his Superman and 'Mission Impossible' futures — and the elusive spy role directors insist he was “born to play.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 If The Rock is the Peoples Action Star. Henry Cavill is becoming The Nerds Action Star lol. Might as well cast him as Goliath in the Gargoyles movie and have him get a whole series of Discworld movies/shows green lit for him to Star in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
