[OT] Why hasn't HBO or Hollywood made a Witcher movie?

After the great success of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit," it seems like Witcher would be a great choice for an HBO series or a Hollywood movie. For most of the world, Witcher would be an introduction to a new and exciting fantasy universe.



The Witcher (Polish: Wiedźmin) by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski is a series of fantasy short stories (collected in two books, except for two stories) and six novels about the witcher Geralt of Rivia. In Sapkowski's books, witchers are monster-hunters who receive special training and have their bodies modified at an early age to provide them with supernatural abilities so they can cope with dangerous monsters. The books have been adapted into a movie and television series in Poland, a video game series, and a graphic novel series. The novel series (excluding the short stories) is also called the Witcher Saga (Polish: Saga o Wiedźminie). The Witcher short stories and novels have been translated into several languages. The books The Last Wish, Blood of Elves, Time of Contempt, and Baptism of Fire have been officially translated into English.
