The chances of their ever being a high budget war hammer 40k film are very slim. The chances of it being good are even smaller. Even it's always enjoyable to see a film that comes close, even if it's just in how it looks.
Jupiter ascending was a awful film with a shit plot. But the House of Abrasax are basically a rogue trader dynasty, they even have the crazy architecture and ships covered in statues.
So what films do you think capture that '40k-ness' anons?
pic related, he might not have been the most effective rogue trader, but he did have killer style.
>their
Blade Runner
Dark City
Dredd both films
Dune, obviously.
>>43910494
Frank Herbet's Dune is basically Warhammer 40k, the TV miniseries. It's sad to see how far the Sci-Fi channel have fallen.
AlsoSpace Pirate Sarah
>>43910494
Harlock, the CGI one.
Take out the ending and it is about a Rogue Trader, a Techpriest, an Eldar, a couple guardsmen, and a commissar all banding together to investigate heresy within the Ecclesiarchy.
As for style, it's spot on. The Arcadia looks almost exactly like the Imperium's ships. The costumes are full of mechanical attachments and gothic flair. The cities are huge hive worlds filled with people.
Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.
>>43910494
Was that their name? When discussing the film my friends call them Tuppence, Humpence, and Grumpence.
>>43910494
Outlander is basically about a Stormtrooper on pre-Feudal world
the future bits of the Blackadder Christmas Special
lets not be forgetting Event Horizon.
Mutant Chronicles (2008) - Inquisitor and his retinue are on mission, to destroy some old chaos machine.
and Aliens for that matter.
>>43911837
Balem
Titus
Kalique,
As I said, terrible film but lovely aesthetic and Abrasax is a good name, it would be fun to run a rogue trader game with them.
>>43910494
Mad Max: Fury Road is basically GORKAMORKA
>tfw will never be a film about Eldar vs Imperium from the perspective of the eldar without hippywanking them akin to Avatar
Event Horizon is considered by some to be canonically humanities first attempt at Warp Drive
>>43911957
Their rigid social structure and methods of war I think exclude hippifying unless the director really didnt know the source material. So it would almost certainly happen
>>43911980

how would Disney manage to turn a setting where the "good" guys are ruthless butchers to whom the idea of giving quarter (let alone mercy) to an enemy is physically disgusting into a viable mainstream franchise
it doesn't matter that it is gleefully taking the piss, the proletariat wont notice or understand that bit (hell, a good chunk of the FANs don't)

I have no idea about the story, but the animation quality is on spot for beeing a hobby project.
>>43912122
By making it the cry of an angry and dogmatic Imperium and instead focusing on individual good guys who don't care about that crap and really just want to save humanity.
>>43910494
Yup, saw that movie, and immediately thought of Rogue Trader. And it certainly was gorgeous.
>>43912122
If The Mouse ever wants to explore new genres it hasn't plundered all the gold out of then that's how they should do.
No half measure or increments of knocking the grimdark up a notch per film.
Just one big fucking leap to the far end of the grimdark spectrum in a move designed to startle. And then stick an 18+ sticker on it.
Make people notice.
They will flock to see it for curiosity alone.

Starship Troopers
Imperial Guard vs. Nids with some psykers in the mix.
Half this thread is posting the stuff which inspired 40k in the first place.
Battle LA gave me a bit of a Tau vibe for the aliens. They even collapsed as soon as the humans close combated them.
>>43911904

Generic sci-fi soldiers doesn't make something 40k just because cadians are generic sci-fi soldiers.

I don't think that's how canon works, anon.

>The Land before time was the precursor to Jurassic Park(Spielberg produced both for a reason)
>>43912279
starship troopers and aliens is basically guard vs nids and vs a genestealer infestation.
I enjoyed the movie actually, found it pretty pulpy by today's standards. Just needed skimpier outfits to get some Frazetta style going.
>>43912279
>40k's sources are not related to 40k
>>43912201
>Just one big fucking leap to the far end of the grimdark spectrum in a move designed to startle
Hey, Spielberg did, why can't Disney Corp?
Was i the only one really dissapointed with avatar?
It has the potential to be a really good film but instead it was just evil white man and great fantastic big blue native americans.
If they had added something like, the natives kill their weak children or the supplies from pandora could save millions of lives it could have been so much better
>>43914046
If they had done that the movie would just have been labelled as racist and pro-colonialism, there's no clean way out
>>43910494
Brazil.
>>43914046
It annoyed me in 3 ways:
1) its the same magical american aboriginals plot as shit loads of other libtard hugfests
2) Quatrich and the Suit get replaced by different characters while the "heroes" are at the mountain base
3) if they cut out the mining shit and ebil-white-men smeg it would have been a bloody good Star Trek film, Scully exploring Pandora is the best bit of it
>>43914077
So a label is more important than improving your work? Awesome stuff friendo.
>>43914208
I don't really need to tell you that they want to get back the money they spent on the movie and then some more
>>43910494
That movie literally had a bit where they unleashed the 'warhammers' from a giant cathedral ship floating in space.
>>43910494
>hurr X from Y is TOTES just like Z from 40K!
Given that 40K steals from everyfuckingwhere, this comes as no surprise.
>>43914295
>Warhammer invented warhammers
Oh lawd.
>>43914558
No oh thinly spread streak of fecal matter. But one might be forgiven for thinking that Jupiter rising borrowed some of the aesthetic themes as 40k
>>43911919
based film
>>43911951
It's a shame that the Wachowskis are so obsessed with having "relatable" loser protagonists in otherwise fantastical stories. It worked well enough with Neo in The Matrix, but having a janitor as the main character in a Dune ripoff was just ridiculous.
The Hellraiser Franchise is basically about a Slaaneshi Daemon possessed artifact.
Shivers portrays a Slaaneshi Cult that breaks out in an isolated apartment complex.

Why would you want 40k in any media but a cheesy wargame? It's such a derivative mess than you can just enjoy the (vastly superior) works that it liberally rips off.

Both dune adaptations sucked. The sci-fi channel tried hard but suffered from poor production values, and the David Lynch just sucked (the only thing memorable about it was the music).
>>43918674
The extended cut really improves it, but the second half is admittedly weak.
>>43918701
honestly, it wasn't just the plot. It was poorly cast, poorly written, poorly designed aesthetically as well.
>>43912201
>The Mouse
oh look it's this faggot again
The only original thing about 40K is grimdarkness. Which is pretty infantile. Gothic and dystopian themes are great but don't get absurd with routine mass-execution and sacrifice, with no shades of grey in anybody's morality.
40K gets too much credit for all the good ideas it uses from much better narratives.
>>43918674
>>43918701
Lynch tried to have his name taken off the credits, he was extremely unhappy with producer meddling and how it turned out.
Jodorowsky was set to make a Dune movie but ran out of money\couldn't convince producers to keep giving money to a madman. But it's insane how much of the pre-production stuff influenced later sci-fis. He had Giger working on art, for instance. There's documentary about it.
If they made a Dune movie today it'd be done as a trilogy and might actually work. But since it did so many tropes first that other narratives have since used it would seem pretty cliche, the Seinfeld Effect.
>>43910494
I really am working in stride torwards becoming a film director and hopefully one day I can find out how to jew the rights of Warhammer 40k Movies.
Specifically a Horus Heresy movie with actual costumes instead of shitty CGImarines
Is it dumb of me for wanting a movie of the Primarchs and their legions just duking it out with eachother? Specifically, one starring Rock "The Rock" Rockson, Terry Crews and Arnie in some fashion .
>>43918928
>Look at me, I'm disliking things!
Whatever. Watch the extended cut if you want a better movie.
I'll be right here, enjoying the books, AND the movie.

Exactly that one. It always makes my vomit smell like pickled yogurt.
>>43911938
Nah, that's Mutant Chronicles!
>>43915287
It would have worked if they'd tried at all to make it work. I never bought that Mila Kunis was a stateless illegal immigrant who had a shitty life cleaning toilets. I'm imagining what the movie would be like if it starred the ugly old cleaning lady who works in my building. I think I would have liked it a lot better.
Also, why did that cousin think he was getting any of the egg money? This is the most minor of the things they never explained, yet it's the one I'm focused on.
>>43910494

>Starship Troopers.
>IG the movie
Nah, being a guardsman is not in any way like SST.
Degrading treatment by incompetent nepotism promoted officers, dialy routines of living in a theism, mysticism and superstition regarding technology, the fact that you are literally the weakest and mentally frailest combatant in any battle you fight, inferior equipment compared to anything you´ll face, general disregard for your life by anyone that gives you a command on the pain of death, 11 second average lifespan once battle is joined..., the list goes on quite a bit.
None of that is in any way reflected in starship troopers.
