Here’s what he had to say about Henry Cavill playing Geralt in The Witcher: It’s often hard for adaptations to please authors of the original work. Alan Moore is a prime example, though Damon Lindelof had the perfect response to Moore’s displeasure with the HBO adaptation of Watchmen. While Andrzej Sapkowski says he didn’t have much to do with The Witcher’s artistic direction — something he’s perfectly fine with — he told PEOPLE what he hoped audiences ultimately took away from Season 1. It sure sounds like the author is referring to all the wizard nudity and overall hotness of Henry Cavill’s Geralt in The Witcher. Simply based on the internet’s reaction, viewers are already feeling the heat, so Andrzej Sapkowski has nothing to worry about on that front. Here’s one fan who didn’t think Cavill was all that great before, but The Witcher has altered their opinion. The thirst continues in another tweet. Henry Cavill is having a huge effect on people as Geralt. Maybe it’s the wig....

Maybe Drew Brees really is Benjamin Button, as Sean Payton called him after his record-setting performance Monday night. Perhaps Brees, like the character in the 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, really is aging in reverse. Maybe Brees started his NFL career when he was 40 and now he's really 22, the age he was when all of these records he has since broken seemed so far-fetched. After Monday's 34-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts where Brees set the record for career touchdown passes, he reflected to how crazy any of this would have sounded to him when he first entered the league. He thought back to 2001 when he was a rookie with the San Diego Chargers and playing his first preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. He remembers looking up at the Dolphins' Ring of Honor and seeing Dan Marino's name up there and all those gaudy statistics beside it. "I just sat there and my jaw just kinda dropped like 'how do you play that long a...

The Mavericks' Luka Doncic dribbles the ball against Pistons in the first half. Despite Doncic’s offensive outburst, the Pistons were within single digits early in the fourth quarter but fell to the Mavericks, 122-111, on Thursday night before a sellout crowd of 20,064 at Mexico City Arena. Doncic was the catalyst, with the highest individual point total and first triple-double in an NBA game in Mexico City. “We had an off-shooting night. We’re going to take their shots and we’re a 3-point-shooting team,” Casey said. “We started to make them down the stretch, but it was too late. “Defensively, we missed a lot of rotations trying to get the ball out Doncic’s hands, which was difficult to do. He sees the whole floor and he picked us apart.” BOX SCORE: Mavericks 122, Pistons 111 Andre Drummond had 23 points and 15 rebounds and Derrick Rose 16 points for the Pistons (10-15), who ended their two-game streak and finish their three-game trip on Saturday against the Houston Rockets.

In news that would make The Matrix's chosen one Neo say 'woah', follow-ups to two of Keanu Reeves' major franchises are now scheduled to hit cinemas on the same day. Prior to Warner Bros.' announcement that The Matrix 4 will release on May 21, 2021, it was previously announced by Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate that the equally anticipated John Wick 4 will blast its way onto the big screen that same weekend. So, the question remains, who will win in a face-off between the super-powered Neo and the head-shooting, pencil stabbing John Wick? The fact that the former can stop bullets is surely to Wick's detriment, but the stylish hitman does have a knack for being able to face-down impossible odds. Hardly anything is yet known about the upcoming The Matrix 4, but it is something that fans have been crying out for, for some time, particularly in the wake of Keanu Reeves' recent popularity. We do know that the movie will reunite Reeves with his Matrix trilogy c...

JERSEY CITY — Five people died in a tense gun battle that started after a city police officer was shot dead in a cemetery just after noon Tuesday and ended in a kosher supermarket three and a half hours later. The five people, which included two gunmen armed with high-powered rifles, were found dead inside the supermarket on Martin Luther King Drive at 3:30 p.m. Police Chief Mike Kelly said the gunmen killed three people in the store, but he did not say whether the gunmen took their own lives or were killed by police. It was one of the worst, if not the worst, shooting incident in the city’s history. Two Jersey City police officers were wounded in the standoff that drew law enforcement from other municipalities as well as the FBI, ATF and State Police. Streets were closed for blocks in every direction and schools across the city were placed on lockdown as gunfire rang out throughout the afternoon. Area residents gathered close to the police tape, recoiling at the sound of high-powered ...

Patrick Mahomes’ girlfriend, Brittany Matthews, said Sunday that New England Patriots fans were harassing her during the Kansas City Chiefs’ game at Gillette Stadium and that security had to get involved.
