He's as disappointed in the witcher as the rest of us
dang what happened with the witcher? i'm not in the loop
The show runner insisted on telling "their version of the story".
Which... let's put it like this:
If you're making a TV series about a book series written by a world famous author, and you think you can do a variation / "your take" on the story, because you think you're just that great of a writer, artist, director, etc., then you better actually be on his level.
Say, for example, Kubrick and The Shining or Ridley Scott and Blade Runner or Jackson and The Lord of the Rings, as opposed to Shyamalan and The Last Airbender or Jackson and The Hobbit.
The Hobbit wasn't Jackson's fault. The studio was going to make the movies in that time frame with or without Peter Jackson, so he chose to helm the crashing ship.
It's true, that wasn't an entirely fair comparison, but I was thinking about disastrous adaptations, and that one sprang to mind.
And without him they were threatening to have the production leave NZ, which would've put a bunch of his friends out of the job.
I didn't know that detail. What a mensch.
