The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, the new feature-length anime set to drop on Netflix on February 11, is set to do something the live-action series has never dared to attempt: adapt 'A Little Sacrifice', one of Andrzej Sapkowski's most ambitious short stories in the franchise.
According to showrunner Lauren Hissrich and Sirens of the Deep co-writer Rae Benjamin, there's a perfectly logical reason why they've waited to tell the tale in 2D. "We didn't want to cheap out," stresses Hissrich in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features Daredevil: Born Again on the cover and hits newsstands on January 29. "Water is death, you know?" she adds. Well, not everyone can be James Cameron now, can they?
