Probably not new news, but I didn’t know; if nothing is finalized by the end of this year, Amazon loses the rights.

Other than that this article offers nothing we didn’t already know.

Saved you a click.

Yeah that expiration isn't new news either. But thank you for your service in saving me a click.

I have a feeling if nothing’s been finalized by now, it’s not happening.

Hopefully GW can keep Cavill and find a new studio.

I am confused by your comment. I thought them coming to an agreement was the worrisome deadline this month. The one that the article says has been finally met. Are you saying there is another next December deadline?

They don’t have a show runner.

But you’re right, they do have a bunch of the creative stuff done. I suppose that is new news.

Now please don't suck.

Looks like now that we are in December we are getting a positive signal that this might actually happen!

Henry is like the Nerd's Champion or something.

Him being a big fan gives me hopes

Having seen what the frack happened to the witcher gives me diarrhea

I'm not sure even Cavill can stop it getting the rings of power treatment.

Fingers crossed for a Boltgun adaptation.

He'd be an amazing Cain but they'd need to do a bunch of non-parody series first

Matt Mercer has the hair for the Emperor! I’d bet he had the chops to play him too.

Although maybe this assumes pre-heresy a bit.

Sanctus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Matt Mercer needs to be the Emps after ascension to the throne. Honestly Henry can play a whole caste of characters here and I am not upset about any of the possibilities. He just looks like a spayce merine.

I would watch 6 seasons and a movie of Emps and Malcador just sitting at a table pre-empire and talking about the Galaxy "My Dinner with Andre" style.
