The Witcher

The Hexer[a] or The Witcher[b] (Polish: Wiedźmin) is a 2001 Polish fantasy film directed by Marek Brodzki and written by Michał Szczerbic. It stars Michał Żebrowski as Geralt of Rivia. The story is based on the books and stories of The Witcher written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

The 13-episode television series came out the following year. The film has been described as essentially the then-unreleased television series condensed into a 2-hour film, and received very poor reviews from both fans and critics.[2][3] The film was the first attempt to depict The Witcher universe in the cinema.[2]
