The writer for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher Netflix series animated prequel Nightmare of the Wolf has opened up ever-so-slightly about what we can expect from the 2020 advent💎ure, teasing a story that could not have been achieved in live-action.

“There's a grace and an art form to animation, and especially anime, that allows a different flavour,” Beau DeMayo told of the upcoming film that will chart the origins of Vesemir, a mentor to Geralt set to be played by Kim Bodnia in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher season 2.

Nightmare of the Wolf isn’t here to be a stopgap before season 2, either. It’s going bigger. DeMayo says it aims to tell a story &ldq🧸uo;we could never tell in our live-action scope.” That includes traditional Witcher fare (“magic and monsters and adventure and romance,” DeMayo t𓆉eased), as well as the script including “certain things it takes advantage of in terms of animation that only animation can do.”

DeMayo adds: “There are things that you can animate in an animated form that will look so amazing𝐆, so badass, that if you did it in action, in live-action, it's just going to look goofy or it's just going to register as a little false to the human eye.”

What that means is open to interpretation, but we ca🍎n possibly expect larger, more complex battles, monsters not bound by CGI budgets, and several action sequencꦓes that Henry Cavill and company couldn’t have achieved as part of the mainline Witcher series.

Nightmare of the Wolf will launch on Netflix l�🍎�ater this year.
