How do we get Michael Bay to make a Warhammer 40k Movie ?

[One of Many]

Quick! We need to report the OP to the local Commissariat! He is in desperate need for a Blaming!


Never, ever let Bay near 40K.

Anyone still confused as of my oppinion ?

No, I don't think so. The problem is that it's wrong. If we wind up with someone like bay getting behind it, is we'll get an awful, awful film, that will not actually be about WH40K, just dressed in roughly the same costumes and even then they're liable to get completely redesigned. And as a result of that, the entire franchise will be tarnished by association for a generation or more. (If of course, GW made the spectacular mistake of actually allowing such to transpire, which is thankfully unlikely)

No, what WH40K needs is a few more years of expanding it's fanbase (perhaps by the effects of Space Marine, who knows), so that we can get a decent budget, decent production team and a director that fits the material (maybe someone like Peter Jackson, or looking at Thor, Kenneth Brannagh would be a good fit), so that when WH40K does finally make it into film format, it does it well. That'll expand things further, and then we can get our insane blockbuster awesomeness on.

Well I'm not sure if that is actually right.They've been known to make some grat mistakes like letting Andy Chambers go(the dude practically created the Skaven, and Chapter Aproved was the only reason White Dwarf existed).They also allowed Matt Ward to make the BA codex:famous for having the most broken army rules to date.And lets not forget that they've stoped shiping to indepedant retailers the southern hemisphere.

So GW are not above bad descisions

True enough, but lets be honest, they do maintain atleast artistic cohesion (about the only thing in favor of Fire Warrior tbh, but what the hey) which would preclude anything as idiotic as what's been proposed here.

Also, Chambers left? Why? Did they force him to? I don't play the game or read WD (and never have), but even I know that name...
