WARHAMMER 40K MOVIE MOVIE

News of the production of a movie was unveiled at UK Games Day, the biggest event in the Games Workshop calendar, on Sunday, September 27 2009. вЂњItвЂ™s taken a lot of research and development to get to this stage вЂ“ and itвЂ™s such an exciting challenge to be able to bring the depth and power of the Warhammer 40,000 universe to a brand new medium.вЂќ вЂњWeвЂ™re hugely honoured to be making Ultramarines,вЂќ said a spokesman for Codex Pictures. We canвЂ™t wait to see our universe come to life on-screen.вЂќ WeвЂ™re working closely with the talented team at Codex Pictures, who have an excellent understanding of the Warhammer 40,000 intellectual property and an inspired vision for the movie. We have always believed that, in the right hands, the stories, themes and characters from the Warhammer 40,000 universe would lend themselves perfectly to the movie genre. Games Workshop is delighted to be working with UK-based production company Codex Pictures, who have the momentous task of bringing the Warhammer 40,000 universe to the screen.Д¬ommenting on the news, Erik Mogensen, Licensing and Acquired Rights Manager for Games Workshop, said, вЂњOver the years, we have been approached again and again by all sorts of producers and film companies wanting to take our intellectual property to the screen. We can safely predict the movie will focus on the space marineвЂ™s faces quite a lot as the detail of the facial animation is mentioned pretty each time someone writes or speaks about the movie.Ultramarines is a 70-minute sci-fi thriller that will use CGI and state-of-the-art animation production techniques. Image Metrics is the ideal technology partner for the project, giving us total freedom to animate the character in 3D space and lighting without restrictions or compromises on camera angles,вЂќ said Vanessa Chapman, Codex managing director. вЂњUltramarines demands high quality facial animation in order to believably portray the Warhammer 40,000 characters. The Image Metrics technology is a perfect match to create the facial detail and high fidelity animation required to bring movies like Ultramarines to life.вЂќД¬harged with creating lifelike superhuman Space Marine characters, Image Metrics is using performance capture data and character rigs provided by Pop6 Studios to deliver approximately 65 minutes of animation for the Ultramarines movie. Its cool to see a Warhammer 40K movie, and its good enough to rent, but it doesnt really adhere to an accurate portrayal of the 40K universe. With their captain lost, and enemies closing on all sides, the sons of Baal must choose between duty and honour, as they battle the enemy. The story follows a band of Blood Angels Space Marines as they face a dangerous and insidious foe.

Animating lifelike characters that establish believability is a critical part of forging this connection with viewers. Angels of Death is an animated Warhammer 40,000 series the debut show from the Warhammer Storyforge. вЂњCreating an alternate world that fully immerses the audience becomes even more challenging when working with a legacy property, especially when in a new medium.

вЂњGiven the legacy of the Warhammer 40,000 game, Image Metrics is especially excited to work with Codex Pictures on Ultramarines to bring the unique science-fiction universe to the medium of film,вЂќ said Brian Waddle, executive vice president of Image Metrics.

We know just a little more about the movie due to a press release from animation experts Image Mertrics вЂ“ itвЂ™s going to be at least 65 minutes long. ItвЂ™s being made right now by London film makers Codex Pictures. Games Workshop, infamous for tightly clutching its IP, has actually allowed a Warhammer 40K movie to be made.
