Ultramarine Movie

A press release from Codex Pictures tells us that Dan Abnett will be scripting the Ultramarine Movie.

Good choice guys, John approves.

Acclaimed Warhammer 40,000 author Dan Abnett is named as writer of the ULTRAMARINES movie screenplay.

With more than 30 Black Library titles to his name, including the Gaunt's Ghost series, the Eisenhorn trilogy, the Ravenor spin-off and two of the Horus Heresy books, Dan's storytelling skills and extensive knowledge of the Warhammer 40,000 universe made him a natural candidate for the role.

Go here for a clip of an interview with Dan:

The director is Martyn Pick whose previous credits include The Age of Stupid, which I confess is how I sometimes think about the times we live in.
