10 Video Game Movies That Could Genuinely Work
8. The Witcher
Due to the fact that the game was inspired by a series of books, the Witcher has the unique boon of already having survived the adaptation progress. Having made the transition from book to game rather seamlessly and to massive critical appraisal means that it is more likely to translate into an engaging and successful movie.
The characters and the world are where the appeal lies. Reading the books shows just how intricate these characters are. Some of the most epic stories in the series are primarily comprised of characters talking and interacting. And the same can be said for the games. The true appeal lies in the meaning behind the combat and gameplay, not the actual gameplay itself.
Which bodes well for the future movie and TV show adaptations. Hopefully, they'll be able to capitalise on what makes the games and books so good. Frankly, it all relies on the casting of Geralt. If they get Geralt right, then the rest of the movie is merely a formality.
