Obviously, this is a bit of self-promotion; Taryn leads the Italian cast ofA Witcher’s Tale, alongside Directors Daniele Cosenza and Davide Morabito, as well as Visual Effects expert Gianluca Vecchio (Fast & Furious,Star Wars: Rogue One).
To more or less demo off the project, dubbedA Witcher’s Tale, the team has put together two reels: a full episode titled “The Lady in Black” and a trailer for Episode 2:
One important note, this whole fan project is not associated with CD Projekt Red orThe Witcherseries author, Andrzej Sapkowski. While this may run into some copyright woes down the line, theA Witcher’s Talecrew is claiming that the entire series is non-profit.
Currently,A Witcher’s Tale(on its first day of launch) is fresh out the gate, looking for a total $10,998 investment. With this, they would plan on bringing in many of the bestThe Witcher 3cosplayers together, rent a “Roach,” and make a trilogy of 6-8 minute episodes with voice-over (instead of acting).
This is obviously far from the onlyThe Witcherproject making it to screens – there has been a slow drip of news about the Netflix project, including the casting ofCiri and Yenneferas well as Geralt’s in-game voice actor flagginghe would love to be involved with the series.
Either way, this looks like an immensely fun project – if you are interested in seeing where it can go, feel free to supportA Witcher’s Taleteamover at Indiegogo.
