Hemsworth Replaces Cavill: First Look At The New "Witcher"

Hemsworth Replaces Cavill: First Look At The New “Witcher”

On Halloween, we reported that Henry Cavill will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth for the fourth season of Netflix’s hit series “The Witcher.” The news may have felt like a horrible trick perpetrated by Netflix, but unfortunately, the news is true. And today, we’ve got the first look at Helmsworth as Geralt. Known for his role in The Hunger Games franchise, Hemsworth’s version of the series’ main character looks like a milder version of the chiseled, badass, fighter we’ve come to know and love. While we’re open to giving Hemsworth a shot. Don’t get me wrong, I mean no insult to Hemsworth’s talent, but replacing an established character, especially one that was perfectly cast, is always risky. Why did Cavill leave? According to MSN, the star began to consider leaving in season two due to the fact that he was not satisfied with the direction the show was taking and that he didn’t see “eye to eye with the producers.”

So it’s exciting, even though it’s a very bizarre, elevated tone for an action-comedy. So I’m excited for it.” “I don’t think there’s two more iconic things than Dracula and Nic Cage,” Hoult also tells THR. “So, to put those together and be in scenes with him and just watch all the inspiration and all the things that he brings to the character, the fun of it, the

Jason Blum & James Wan In Talks To Join Forces, Creating A Horror Powerhouse

Jason Blum & James Wan In Talks To Join Forces, Creating A Horror Powerhouse

When it comes to horror, there are two names that every fan knows, Jason Blum who owns Blumhouse, known for churning out chilling horror films, and James Wan who owns Atomic Monster, who has been involved in one way or another with a horde of hit horror films, including the Saw franchise and The Conjuring universe. News has come (via Variety) that the two are currently in talks to merge, making one mega-horror powerhouse. So how would it work exactly? Variety explains: “After merging, the parties expect that Atomic Monster and Blumhouse will continue to operate as separate labels, with each maintaining its own creative autonomy and brand identity. Atomic Monster is expecting to utilize the existing Blumhouse infrastructure to further scale their activities in film, TV, and new content areas. The idea behind the alliance is to increase the output from each side. They also hope to expand into horror-related games, live entertainment, and audio.” According to the site,

On a road trip across America’s blacktops, they decide how to sink their teeth into family life.” Kelli: “I really enjoyed your movie Blood Relatives. It’s an interesting combination of vampires, horror and family drama, and comedy mixed together.” Noah: “Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. I tried to throw the kitchen sink at it [laughter].” Kelli: “It’s great. How did the movie come to be? Noah: “Honestly, it all started with my becoming a father really. I had spent my career being an actor and having also
