“There is a fragment right at the beginning of Blood of Elveswhere Geralt loses consciousness on Sodden Hill. Geralt experiences avision at the moment and talks to Death. Then, beautiful words areuttered about crossing the meadow and the fog,” Cavill told Zweirzchowski. “There was no such scene in the series, and thesewords captivated me with their poetry, they were so wonderfully ‘Sapkowski’ that I wanted them to be spoken by my Geralt. However, I didnot feel like having long discussion about whether I could add this bitsomewhere. So I just did it, said the words in front of the camera, andwas ready to face the consequences. Eventually, this issue hit the markin Season 2.”
Redanian Intelligence notes that the scene Cavill is referring to actually appeared in Something More. Regardless, it’s interesting to see how the actor was able to bring in this element, and make it a part of the series! There are always difficulties with adapting a beloved work, and there are many elements that don’t end up making the cut, for one reason or another. However, it’s clear that Cavill uses his position when he can to make the final product more authentic. Not every actor shows that type of dedication!
