Tech enthusiasts continue to explore potential screen adaptations of beloved franchises, with their sights now set on the Witcher series. A striking concept trailer for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt adaptation, crafted by the Sora AI YouTube channel, has recently surfaced.
The trailer masterfully channels the aesthetic of 1980s cinema, leveraging the power of neural networks to bring the vision to life. Familiar faces from the Witcher universe populate the video, including Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, Triss Merigold, Regis, Dijkstra, Priscilla, and others. While some stylistic liberties have been taken with their appearances, the characters remain readily identifiable.
Recently, the developers of The Witcher 3 hinted at previously cut content, specifically a planned Triss Merigold wedding scene. This "Ashen Marriage" quest was intended to unfold in Novigrad. The storyline depicts Triss's burgeoning feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage. Geralt's role involves assisting with wedding preparations, ranging from ridding the canals of monsters to procuring alcohol and selecting a wedding gift.
Interestingly, Triss's reaction is directly influenced by the gift Geralt chooses. Less thoughtful presents are met with lukewarm responses, while a memory rose – a familiar item from The Witcher 2 – evokes a powerful emotional response.
