God can't believe all the naysayers in this thread! I thought people would be pleased that finally someone is making a film based on the great 40k franchise and all I hear is misery! Plus Dan Abnett has written the story and is accompanied by a great voice cast.

Well, I for one am pleased. This, coupled with Space Marine out next year means that the ball is rolling ever bigger, and it's just a matter of time before we see Horus bring chaos to the Imperium on the big screen!

Completely agree.

Why not just accept the rough edges and enjoy GWs first attempt at a feature film. I also think cartoon/CGI is more appropriate because a real life 40K film would probably need the budget equal to the UK deficit to make it worthwhile.

If this sells well they will make more. I've pre-ordered mine.

Space Wolves.

What could be more awesome than wearing the pelt of a huge-ass wolf that you killed with your bare penis?

Is this movie to tie in with the warhammer 40k MMo that is being made by THQ and some other chumps?
Just wondering if it is vailed advertising?

There is a Space Hulk FPS!

Ok.. it's from 1993... but its awesome!

I remember that nostalgic slice of Amiga gaming, it was great battling against genestealers

Didn't it also have a map option where you could see the FPS view of all your Space Marines at the same time, a bit like the compound assault at the beginning of Aliens.

I'm just glad someone is making a movie of it.

Can't believe no one has made a blockbuster yet as there is vast potential with all that material.

I can guarantee pretty much you'll be wrong about point 2. It's written by Dan Abnett and GW would not let anything get past the planning stage if it wasn't entirely accurate to the lore. They are very control freakish over their licenses.

Bad acting....you mean animated acting or voice acting? I think the cast looks pretty damn strong, no-one can argue with John Hurt.

While I'd love to agree, even though it is written by someof my favourite authors, it need s to be turned into a film. even little things like the way the marineas come across, the things they say...i feel turning the story to a script will bugger it up.

for the acting...probably more the voices rather than the animation. i think it can get away with being a little "cartoony" but the snip[et i heard for Jon Pertwee (I think it was) doing a cockney style marine? No.

This movie does look pretty freaking awesome. John Hurt (perfect voice), Terence Stamp, Seanm Pertwee... I have a feeling that its going to be worth a watch for any fan. Can't wait!

Judging by the quality of the CG only, you could fund about 2 minutes of Avatar with this films entire budget. Not necessarily a bad thing, as I would think they are just about aiming to break even with this, and maybe produce a few more if it does well enough.

Looks like you may need to wait if you want to buy it from somewhere else.

I'll be "waiting" to see, like **** I'm going to pay £25 for a standard DVD when a couple of trailers is all we have.

I hit the order button as soon as this thread was made

And also thanks for the recommendation in the warhammer book thread on the horus heresy.

I absolutely love WH40K artwork, but I don't like the style of this movie. I wish some of the official WH artists like Alexy Boyd or Paul Dainton could have had some input in the art direction.

 

[No1newts]

Well that looks camper than a swordfish in a pink top hat.

I'd love some proper high budget films, a good film series of the horus heresy (not a trilogy, that would be impossible) would be immense.

This even more so, though real actors. Would be impressive but doubt that would ever happen!

 

[No1newts]

varies, anything written by Dan Abnett is pure gold (particularly the Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies, both follow inquisitors and are very, very well written.)

Also the Horus Heresy series is already one of the best sci-fi series I have ever read, lots of different authors but I've enjoyed every one so far.

Also Gaunts Ghosts when he could be bothered to put some effort into them i.e. first 5, pretty trashy since then.

Horus Heresy is a great series, just about to start reading the new one tonight First Heretic.

Can't believe I didn't hear about this till last night, placed an order straight away.

I have 2 hopes

1. It isn't terrible
2. It doesn't awaken a deep desire to start painting again, i can't afford it

Shame they used the Ultramarines, though I suppose they are pretty bog standard and the safe option.

Hopefully the sequal by Michael Bay will focus on the Angry Marines

IMOH the WH40k universe is far too complex and deep for movies to ever do it justice, it would need a tv series with a decent budget, then you could get in the politics and back story, we can only dream though.

will watch this movie as space marines are epic cool, more chaos man my self though, cant beat a Chaos Dreadnought
