That may just bw the best idea in the history of today. Maybe an Eisenhorn movie, that would be awesomeCpt_Oblivious said:
Space Marines are not the most interesting force, nor are the orks.
Iperial Guard, the Tau and the Tyranids have much more character.
This is an "everything or nothing"- film. As said, it's going to be awesome or suck balls. Most likely the latter.

...would I have an easier time relating to normal humans (albeit rednecks and prisoners) than I would genetically engineered supermen who live hundreds of years and are slavishly devoted to their emperor to the point where "fanaticism" is far too soft a word to describe it?hansari said:
Yes. Yes I would.
Why does everyone feel the need to misspell everything and put it in caps in order to make a point that something is stupid? I mean, I have no problem with people making the point that the 40k universe is over the top (that's part of its charm) but doing that is a similar mentality to a child repeating what someone says and doing it in a silly voice as if that's how they sound.
Anyway! I know this film will probably end up being a train wreck but there's a slim chance it'll work, and if it does it will be epic. Probably something along the lines of 300... Well here's hoping! You never know, 40k made the jump from tabletop to computer games gracefully enough (with a few minor exceptions), so it's not too implausible for it to make the jump to the big screen.
Still, I think that a film about a nobody lowlife in a hive city being drafted into the guard and then being made to fight and die in an endless warzone on a planet he's never heard of would have been a better introduction for general moviegoers to the tone of the 40k universe. With a cameo by everyone's favourite marines to please the fanboys of course.

well...i was initially annoyed at this,because its the f***ing ultramarines.But the more i think about it the more i see it as a win-win,i mean if they succeed we'v got ourselves a good space marine film 
and if they dont (wich lets face it is the more likely eventuality) its the ultramarines,so i honestly would love to see them being ridiculed by a wider audience.So im actually glad they didnt use my favourite chaper (Blood Angels).

i think you either dont listen to the background behind 40k or you've been shown some pretty bad examples.CantFaketheFunk said:
They've been talking about this since I was a Sophmore in highschool (about 9 years ago), it's cool to see it's finally happening. I'd like to see a movie that focuses on the fall of the original space marine chapters and the battle between the Emperor and Horus. The tabletop game is always hazy about the initial fracturing of the empire of man.
Which part of that is incorrect? They are genetically engineered supermen who have century-long lifespans, they're all about BURN THE HERETIC AND THE MUTANT FOR THE EMPERAH to the point of fanaticism. That's what it's been like in any WH40k games I've seen, that's the sort of thing all the 40k fanboys post in threads, etc.DisturbiaWolf13 said:
