Warhammer 40k: Hey Syntax! remember the "Bloodquest" debacle! laugh

I've been a WH40k fan for about 2 months now, so I don't know all the backstory to old WH40k projects, sorry. sad

The Halo series.


note: If you didnt know Halo is also a book series not just video game.

Already happening. Peter Jackson is producing the film, and his special effects team at WETA Workshop is handling the special effects.

I'd like to see Erikson's Gardens of the Moon into a movie. Actually, it began life as a movie script, but didn't sell so was converted into full novel form.

I heard the Chain of Dogs, a key event in the second book, is in the talks. If so, you would essentially be seeing Islamic fanatics chasing a ragtag refugee enclave across a harrowing desert . . . hmmmm. That would look very American, wouldn't it? I'm thinking images of The Mummy springing to mind.

Game of Thrones would get the R-rated and MA-18-plus tag. grin

No, he's not, but I, for one, don't know any others, and he did a good job.

Whoever did Narnia . . . shouldn't.


Well maybe he was not completely right but Peter Jackson's name is thrown out an awful lot when talking about Fantasy films. I thought Andrew Adamson did a pretty good job directing Narnia and thought the film was pretty good overall.


I agree.

Narnia was exactly what it needed to be. No one was expecting it to bring in a box office taking to rival LOTR. But it was true to the heart of the story.


btw, has anyone here heard of the Earthsea books? They're being adapted by Studio Ghibli into a film and the director is Hayao (Spirited Away) Miyazaki's son. Sounds alright.


I didn't like Narnia, but I also haven't read hte books.

I haven't read the EarthSea books, but I have them and am going st start them. Is the adaptation going to be in anime or real-people (don't know the technical term).
