‘WITCHER’ ANIME FILM IN THE WORKS AT NETFLIX, STUDIO MIR ON BOARD
2020-01-22
Witcher fans rejoice: more
content is heading your way. Netflix has a new anime in the works set in the
world of the super popular series. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will come
to us from the same team from the show, Lauren S. Hissrich and Beau DeMayo. The
animation will be handled by Studio Mir, the same studio that produced Legend
of Korra, the wildly successful spin-off of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The
film will see a new threat facing The Continent.
This actually has the
potential to be quite good. Whatever you happen to think of Korra, one thing
that cannot e disputed is that the animation and especially the fight sequences
are exceptional. Studio Mir is top-notch, and I for one am pretty pumped to see
what they can add to the visual style of The Witcher. It is a great idea to
have animation to accompany the live-action show as well, when done properly
they can enrich the world of the show and do stories that may be tougher to
tell in a live-action environment.
This is really win win for everyone: the fans get their fix, and Netflix can get even more milage out of what is their most popular show apparently
