Ultramarines script writer revealed

[soladrin]

i dont know if anyone has seen the update, but im glad to say, Dan Abnett has written the script, so this seems be a lot more promising then most people first thought.

The official interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBsWc1i4Cr4

I personally can't wait for this movie, oh, and for everyone whining about it being Ultramarines, ultramarines are generally liked still, and if they had chosen Blood angels, Space Wolves, Dark angels, etc. etc. etc. all the other chapters would still complain about it. (personally i think it should'v been Imperial Fists obviously because they are just the best)

My biggest concern about the movie is who the enemy will be, I doubt they will use Orks since they'r already the main enemy in the new game and they would be getting to much spotlight then, so to see the options left...

Tau, chaos, Eldar, Dark Eldar (yea right), Tyranids and necrons(probably not )

Though honestly i expect Chaos, looking at how Abnett mostly writes about those as enemies, and as for them being the "main" enemy for the Imperials.

Wait, they're making a 40k movie?

Saints be praised. Dan Abnett knows his Warhammer so hopefully this works out. I just hope that it isn't altered to 'attract a wider audience'. That would suck.

cant imagine him ever selling out like that, he has to many loyal fans for that, i completely trust a project like this in his hands

Well, the man is an awesome 40k writer so he's the right guy for the job. Plus, he has our own fears in mind when it comes to horrifying game-movie crossovers, so he knows what pitfalls to avoid.

Still plenty of room to balls it up though...

I've heard somewhere that it is all graphical like the cinematic openings of the Dawn of War games. I think it will be really good if that's the case!

I reckon either Chaos or Dark Eldar will be the enemy. They are the most recognisable as being evil of all the enemies of the Imperium to non-40k people. I hope it's Dark Eldar!

If Dan's as good at keeping the faith as J.K. Rowling was, I have no worries.

it is a 100% CGI movie, they already told us that with the first announcement

And they'd never use dark eldar for this because they are the least played army.

Chaos is the most obvious choice, followed by orks, because they are the biggest threats on the universal scale and i've already noted my thoughts on orks for this movie.

My reaction entirely.
