Even Henry Cavill Could Not Have Saved ‘The Witcher’ Ending From Netflix’s Meddling


Fans of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel series, The Witcher, were already shaking their heads at the continuous alterations made to the original source material by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. And after the highlight of the show, Henry Cavill turned his back on the fantasy TV series, they became even more disenchanted with The Witcher. Skepticism regarding Liam Hemsworth’s ability to step into the shoes of the legendary actor started to spread like wildfire.
The Witcher fans began to believe that the future of the Netflix drama was far from promising with Cavill’s absence. However, contrary to popular belief, even the 40-year-old could not have saved the series’ ending from going south.

The Witcher ending could be unsettling with or without Henry Cavill
It goes without saying that there will always be a vast gap between a cinematic adaptation and its sourcebooks. While the last season of the Netflix series showcased genuine efforts from the makers to bring it closer to its original source, the chances of them providing a satisfying conclusion are still slim. The ending of the original books came after two epic final battles involving the priestess of Avalon and Vilgefortz. However, Sapkowski also included a denouement towards the end to tie up loose ends.

Such a closure might not be as exciting in the series as it was in the books. The reason is the absence of action; something that The Witcher fans look forward to in the show. This ending would become too anti-climatic for the television program, leading to the disappointment of fans. Nevertheless, the third season of The Witcher concluded with some major cliffhangers, that did ignite some curiosity among the audience.
This season, however, also marked the end of the perfect Geralt of the Netflix series.

Why was Henry Cavill the best choice for Geralt?
Even before fans saw Cavill’s brilliance as the monster hunter, the actor knew he was perfect for the role. The Man of Steel star has always been a fan of The Witcher books and games that made him believe he could pull off the character. His dedication to staying true to the source material became one of the major contributors to his exceptional portrayal of the white wolf.

Cavill also put his own spin on the role. He came up with a tough-sounding voice of Geralt and also choreographed some of his action sequences. Having an extensive background in action movies, Cavill successfully turned the battle scenes into a visual masterpiece. Last but not least, it is almost impossible to overlook his iconic quotes from the series he used to deliver in his unique, gritty voice
What do you think about the fact that Henry Cavill might not have been able to save The Witcher’s disappointing ending? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
