A new 'The Witcher' movie has entered early production, and Oscar-nominated director and animator Tomasz Baginski is directing the full-length big screen adaptation.

"We have started to prepare for the production of a full-length live-action feature film 'the Witcher,' for which responsibility will be Tom Baginski and Platige crew Films. A scenario based on Andrzej Sapkowski's prose," confirmed by Platige Image Studio on Facebook.

Platige Image has been responsible for special effects of major Polish productions which include Lars von Trier's "Antichrist," Jerzy Skolimowski's "Essential Killing" and Andrzej Wajda's "Katyn."

The studio specializes in 3D animation, digital special effects and computer graphics.

Baginski was nominated for an Oscar in 2003 for "The Cathedral," an animated short film.

There was no details dropped regarding the cast of the movie.

The Witcher is a popular series of short stories and novels penned by Andrzej Sapkowski, which centers on a dark mythical universe plagued with beasts and leviathans.
