Dan Abnett On Writing Ultramarines

Some of you may have heard of or even play the role playing games based on the Warhammer 40k universe. 40K is kind of like the Alien 2 marines but on steroids and with religion. In Warhammer, war is religion and I’m thinking that will make some fine source material for an excellent Sci-Fi movie. 40K is a long established IP, with a rich history of novels and video games. Dan Abnett happens to be the man (over a million 40K books and graphic novels sold) tasked with writing the script for the movie based on the world of Warhammer. Here’s a nice video of Dan talking about the process of getting the movie started. Keep an eye on this one. Not only is 40k incredibly violent and everything a good war movie should be, it’s also very funny.
