To the surprise of many, rumors earlier in the year suggested an anime film for The Witcher was in the works at Netflix. Shortly thereafter, the streaming giant formally announced the project as The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. The anime, helmed by the live-action show?s creative team, will center on Vesemir?s origin story. But why not produce a similar project in live-action" Apparently, some of the creative team?s ambitions will only work in animation.
One of the anime?s lead writers, Beau DeMayo, explained as much in an interview with ComicBook.com. After speaking of his previous work with Disney Animation, DeMayo said,
