Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 3 minutes ago, Greatoneshere said: What none of you have considered is Henry Cavill is known for dating super young, barely 18 year old girls and he's super weird about it. He's the one now driving this production with his name on it, so who is to say he didn't suggest these casting choices heavily? It's the most logical and simplest explanation for why both girls look so young. I like Cavill, but I'm just saying . . . Maybe none of us knew that to begin with!

"In 2016, Cavill's girlfriend, Tara King, was 13 years younger than him—and she couldn't even drink legally stateside! When asked about his barely legal love, he explained to Elle, "People say age is just a number. It's actually real and true sign of someone's maturity. But in this case, she's fantastic. When I met my girlfriend, I was super intimidated. I wanted to impress her." He was even nervous about the whole ordeal, saying "I was thinking, 'Don't mess this up, man.'" That's one small factoid - you can find more of them if you search the internets. I don't think it's a big deal, and it's speculation on my part, but it's possible in terms of casting. I like to think: "don't mess this up man" is code for: "make sure she's 18 man". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emblazon Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I do think they really missed the mark on the casting of Yennifer. We shall see...

Here's some additional pictures I found: And here's another picture of her from Wanderlust (I'm assuming the picture @TheLeon posted is from Wanderlust?): Is her character in Wanderlust maybe supposed to be in high school? I don't know anything about the Has it been pointed out that those first 2 picture are not the actress in 3rd?

Emblazon Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yup. I'd be OK with the top actress. Seems like the bottom actress is like the producer's daughter or something--she's been in minimal stuff and unequivocally does not look the part, either in age or attributes.

EDIT: And anyone who is a fan of Eva Green owes it to themselves to watch The Dreamers. Oh I've seen it... It's where I first "discovered" her. She was also awesome in Camelot on Starz back in the day. Having a young actress for Ciri actually makes sense depending on where they start the story. She actually starts off on the books VERY young... But Triss, Yennifer and all the other women need to be grown women for various reasons.

Yes, which is one of the reasons casting a younger actress makes sense. I doubt they’re going to dress her down to make her look 15 and have Cavill pounding her on a unicorn. She’ll look like an adult, but a young one. As long as they’re not portraying her as a child I have no problem with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn't just the looks though, I'm with skillz on being dubious about someone this young being able to bring the gravitas/worldliness/experience/whatever you want to call it that a 100 year old would have.
