What characters or units would you like to see brought to life? Who would play them and what kind of movie? Could be a named character or just an actor playing their version of a certain unit.

Eg.
A movie about an ork invasion on an imperial planet starring James Woods as an Inquisitor and with an Ork warboss voiced by Gerard buttler and a grot acted by Andy Serkis.

Or

Sean Bean as a conscientious IG officer, Viggo mortensen as a black templar Fighting Nikolaj-Coster Waldau as a Dark eldar Archon and Rory Mccan as a Chaos space marine

Or

Johnny Depp as a haemonculus, Robbin williams voicing an Ork and Louis Ck playing an IG officer who doesn't give a crap.

**Skinnereal**

Ray Winstone would be perfect as a Space Marine sergeant.
Tarkus from Dow springs to mind.

**Ric Ringo**

Adam Sandler as the most inept Space Marine alongside Ricky Gervais as his constantly flustered sergeant. Directed by Michael Bay.

**gh05tdemon**

Let's not forget Morgan Freeman as the emperor.

**Valkyrie**

I can see James Earl Jones as some sort of ageing Colonel, or Hugh Laurie as a moody Apothecary.

**Pedro Kantor**

Christian Bale as Colonel-Commissar Guant.

Others include :

Gerard Butler

John Hurt

Ray Winstone

Sean Bean

Sean Pertwee

Anthony Hopkins

Viggo Mortensen

Daniel Craig

Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson ( would have to be a marine...or maybe Bragg in a Ghosts movie ).

**SaganGree**

Henry Rollins

**MadmanMSU**

Ron Perlman would make a perfect Space Marine.

Obscure Trivia: He is also the voice of the introduction narrator in the Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics games.

"War...War never changes..."

**Thatguyhsagun**

The rock, bruce willis and vinny D leading a rag-tag band of guerillas against a daemon incursion long enough for the Imperials to get there. Bruce as the aging sgt, the rock manhandling a heavy stubber and vinny D pulling some Riddick stunts as the assassin/scout of the group

Some female actors just in case SoB or Inqusition is part of the story?

**Farseer Faenyin**

I came here to put in that I think Cate Blanchet(the actress for Galadriel) would make a perfect Eldar Farseer based on her Galadriel acting...funny your pic was right at the bottom...of Galadriel. :-)

The other Elven type-casts would work well too.

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing. Maybe make a DoW II movie and she can be Idranel? would fit as its a well-known game that has pulled in numerous new players

**thenoobbomb**

Megan Fox as a Sister Repentia, main character of the movie.
That's gonna make lots of money.

**walkiflalka**

Helena Bonham carter as a creepy Inquisitor or some kind of Dark elder. Brad Pitt as an arrogant Vendetta gunship pilot

More seriously, there's a number of actresses who I think would work well for Eldar. Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa on Game of Thrones, has the height and the build, and does the etheral/reserved attitude very well. She and Cate Blanchett would go well as Eldar.
Gwendolyn Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth in the same series, would probably kick ass as any Sister of Battle. She's also very tall, and could quite convincingly be intimidating and imposing.
Gary Oldman as some kind of Radical Inquisitor or crazed IG General.
Mark Ruffalo as an IG NCO.
Vin Diesel as a Vindicare Assassin or Inquisitorial henchman of some kind. He's already a huge 40K fan, so, basically, anything. Shoot, make him an Inquisitor. Give Riddick a bolt-pistol.
Scarlett Johannson as a DCA.

... probably could come up with a few more if I think about it more.

Just said that would make lots of money. Cause it would

It's funny but I actually don't think it would, it would just be another sexist action movie with naked women running around with big swords and besides megan fox is a terrible actor.
I think something like Michelle Rodriguez as a tough imperial guard sergeant and timothy Olyphant as a gruff IG Commander who fights on the front lines would make more money and be a better movie. They could have the two war hero's with a mutual respect and repressed love for each other but it can never be because they value duty above all.

Yes, but they already made Battle: LA.

**Savageconvoy**

Sylvester Stallone as the Ork Warboss.

**sierra 1247**

Michael fassbender as a marine sgt,
Russel Crowe as a marine Captain

**IHateNids**

I can sort of see a James Earl Jones-voiced Necron Overlord walking around

I second the above notion of a Gregory House in PA

I also think Robert Downey Jr would make a decent 'Eccentric Inquisitor'
