Warhammer 40k Movie Coming – Ultramarines!

Back in the late 90s and early this decade I was an avid collector and painter of Warhammer 40k figurines. I had a brilliantly painted and beautifully displayed Eldar army for the table top strategy war miniatures game.

But I sucked at the game itself so I just stuck to painting and displaying my figures.

Now it looks like I will have my chance to see those 40k armies come to life on the big screen.

/Film says:

Codex Pictures have announced production of Ultramarines, the first feature film to be based upon Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40k.

The clearly most popular armies in the game are the Human race and their Space Marines and the multitude of varieties they come in. The elite among them are called the UltraMarines.

The video games of this franchise have some impressive CGI cutscenes that could make for an awesome movie. But no word yet if the film will be all CGI or a mix of live action and effects.

  1. I always wanted a movie set in this universe, the storylines are beyond great and the history avaliable, enemies, chapters, special charactors etc… etc…

    Personally would have preffered to have seen Dark Angels or Blood angels – there charactor set and back stories are much more interesting that the ultra marines.

    Would have thought for this to have been done really well it would have cost a fortune, they have done mini movies before for displays at their game days.

    Would be great live action! looking forward to this

  2. Hey Rodney, why did my post that answered your question if it was going to be all CGI get removed? It was on topic and not offensive. And the new came straight from the movie’s website.

  3. It’s like my mind has been read! For years have hoped a film would happen and when DoW came out and I saw the cut scenes I knew it was not if but when!

  4. I’ve been playing Warhammer for years, and I’m playing the MMO now. One of my favorite fantasy universes of all time. 40k is cool too, but I’m more of a fantasy players.

    As much as I’ve been looking forward to a Warhammer movie, but my hopes aren’t high for this one. I mean, it might be good, but my dream is to see a Warhammer blockbuster on the big screen! Maybe this will push Games Workshop towards that pursuit, or possibly even point a good director towards the Warhammer universe.

    Regardless, I’ll give ‘Ultramarines’ a chance…

  5. Hopefully It will be good, if it looks anything like the newest Bionicle movie, then we have little to worry about. I just hope it doesn’t end up like that Starship Troopers CG Miniseries.

    Nothing says shitty animation like a hand through a table!

  6. The one thing that does bug me is, are they going to create their own storyline or are they gonna use what was in the games. Cause the books have a lot of interesting story lines that would make for an awesome movie.

  7. Finally!!! I’ve been reading the books (And playing the games) for so long I and was always thinks, Damn! This stuff would make and awesome movie, or miniseries!!
