Dan - I know but if you don’t ask…

Jay - I admire your persistence, Jay, but could you not tell from our diplomatic silence that right now we’re really not allowed to talk about the 40K movie?

Let’s just say… everything is entirely amicable. The first 40K movie was always going to be about Space Marines, and the Ultramarines were a perfect choice in terms of the ‘brand’. There are ways of doing things that don’t break anyone’s toes but make the most of the IP - which is what tie-in writers like us are supposed to be good at.

And yes, Morgan, in 3D… awesome sauce.

“Imagine what some of those battlefields could look like in 3D.”

Heads would explode…

Can you imagine a Warhammer 40k movie getting the Avatar treatment? Imagine what some of those battlefields could look like in 3D.

Okay maybe a slightly awkward question but here goes…

Dan, you got to write the Ultramarines film script a couple of years ago (in secret) - very exciting that we are finally going to see a film and that you were involved.

Graham, the Ultramarines are kind of seen as being “owned” by you now.

So, did you guys feel the need to discuss, swap notes, shake hands, have an arm wrestle, go off in a sulk, play paper, scissors, rock?

One other question - you both deftly sidestepped (ignored) last time is whether you had ideas for other future potential film/tv ideas for W40k?

Me, I’d love to see the GG series like Band of Brothers (CGI would be fine)!!!!!
