Netflix’s ‘The Witcher‘ is quickly becoming one of Netflix’s most successful series ever. Star Henry Cavill (Geralt of Rivia) is a fan of the books and video games and brings a phenomenal performance. All the supporting cast are truly wonderful and everyone can’t stop singing ‘Toss a coin to your Witcher’. We are living in good times!
Today in a Netflix YouTube video, Henry Cavill sat down to break down one of the most amazing fight scenes, not just in the series but ever. From shooting it in one shot to using half bladed swords the behind-the-scenes is eye-opening! Plus, Cavill even breaks down at the end and apologizes if it was too much information. He said he tends to get a little excited about these things. This is exactly what we want to hear! We love actors who truly love the material they’re working with and do everything they can to make it perfect for us.
Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ Henry Cavill Excitedly Breaks Down The Blaviken Fight Scene
In the video Cavill takes us step through step of the scene and breaks down what’s going on behind the camera, as well as in front. We find out that the sword he’s using is really just half a sword! A lot of the props are finished in post-production. He also takes us through how they accomplished the enormous one-take fight scene and how it took several attempts to get it right! That’s dedication.
Perhaps the most interesting thing Cavill presented is how ‘The Witcher’ doesn’t just have awesome fights. The fights tell a story. In the fight with Geralt and Renfri, their battle tells the story of, “As much as he hates the idea of it, he’s not going to lose his life in the process of someone that’s determined to die.” It’s like watching a beautiful ballet dance, with swords. It truly is a masterpiece! You can watch the entire first season of ‘The Witcher’ now! Only on Netflix.
