sloby Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Most of you say that 40k is not that well known, but look at Gears of War they make a movie about that game and i dont believe many has heard of thar game(most gamers have im sure). And now there is G.I. Joe that anyone outside the US have never heard of so just because not many have heard of it dont mean that is not going to happen.

Mulceber Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Most of you say that 40k is not that well known, but look at Gears of War they make a movie about that game and i dont believe many has heard of thar game(most gamers have im sure). Gears of war is wildly popular with the video-gaming community, a group of people far larger than the table-top wargaming community. They can count on most of the people who've played the game going to see it. The same can be said of 40K gamers and a 40K movie, but I'll bet you the number of people who play Gears of War is far larger than the number of people who play Warhammer 40,000. And now there is G.I. Joe that anyone outside the US have never heard of Uh...not to sound like an arrogant American, but does it matter? Most movies made in the USA are being made for American audiences. If it rakes in a lot of money abroad, that's just gravy to the film industry. And while G.I. Joe is not well known abroad, there's hardly a male in America who hasn't heard of him. -M Ps. Just so you know, I don't intend to see either of these movies as neither catches my interest, but you can bet I would go to see a 40K film if it came out. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwars1 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Man, I just had an epic image in my head, of a LOTR style opening sequence in my head, looked a bit like this, except with a squad of Sons of Horus terminators, with abaddon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother DjoulZ Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 And now there is G.I. Joe that anyone outside the US have never heard of Well I'm French and I can tell you that when I was a kid GI Joe toys were REALLY popular, less popular than Transformers toys were but still, most French people know GI Joe. It's been a classic range of toys in Christmas catalogues for years. Really GI Joe is well known over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FerrumIgnatus Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well, they made the movie-trash known as Twillight and New Moon, right? I do believe Dawn of War; The Movie (or something similar) will emerge.. Christ, they even made BIONICLE movies!!! (Honestly, they were rather good..)

Capt. Lysander Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yup- two things to look forward to- A new Space Marine game, and a marine movie! (even if it's a smurf :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think, with the new DoW2 graphics, it is entirely feasible, but may take up a long time, so no one should expect it anytime soon. Edit: Sorry for the double post, didn't realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamafore Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If they found a way to pay for such an expensive production, my bets are on the fact that it will involve the Inquisition because it will have to have some kind of romance theme to it because that is what the general public demands. That and the general public knows very little about Warhammer in general so i highly doubt any major movie production would pick up such an idea. romance in W40k is like forcing a cat to mate with a hawk... I am sooo sigging that if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
