All this talk of Space Hulk movies hey, did any of you see GW's Hive Infestation? Live action Space wolf terminators against Genestealers. I was at the Games day many years ago where they showed that and another film about Dark Angels I forget the name. I’m pretty sure they were only trailers and nothing came of them but I know a few Vets with copies of Inquisitor on VHS.
IMO opinion GW will just do an improved version of Ultramamrines in 2-3 years, possibly pick up the whole Blood quest project again. .
Personally I would rather they let THQ run with Space Marine and make many sequels, I prefer a movie I am part of.

Problems:
Marines in power armor with helmets can't show emotion, and therefor actors can not act.
Space Marines would actually be a hard sell to Joe 6 pack.
Way too much 40k background to explain, and way too much to explain about space marines. If everything isn't explained well marines would just look silly.
Solutions:
Center the story around IG. Writers and Hollywood love centering stories around the underdog. Joe 6 pack can understand the concept of IG with no difficulty.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.

Why go for Marines? Eisenhorn or Ravenor would make a far better movie and take a lot less explaining to an uninformed audience.
Imperium good. Chaos Bad. Even creationist would get that with only a 10 - 15 minute intro.

Why not do a Horus Heresy series. GW would get loads of money and it would explain any future films.

This is GW. If they made a movie they'd advertise it completely overblown as beautiful and amazing graphics, be amazing blah de blah de blah. Turns out it has poor graphics and you can only buy an exspensive collectors edition which isnt very "Collector" cus it was the only format they sold it in.

But the Imperium ISN'T good. They are Nazi-spanish inquizition-KKK-witch burners dedicated to the destruction of everything that is free and good. It's supposed to be a sort of "Lesser of Two Evils" kind of thing. Making the Imperium the knights in shining armour is unfair to the fluff and the players, but the actual situation is something that joe sixpack won't understand. Combined with the special effects required, the near-impossibility of any romance, and GW's iron fist on copyrights, it's basicly never going to happen.

I know the empire is uncaring conformism; you know this; the ordinary audience does not.
This would be the best twist in any 40k movie or series. Inquisitor stories would be the only way to depict it. Suits of armour marching around just won't cut it.
Love stories could easily be incorporated. Personally I always thought a series would be better than a film.

I voted no, because they would screw it up. Honestly, 40k is one of the most fluff-intensive universes out there. There's just too much that needs explaining that wouldn't work realistically in a Hollywood film. The flip side of the coin is that they barely skim the source material and just fill in the blanks themselves - there were at least a few scenes in Ultramarines: the Movie that made up complete bullgak about what certain gear could do. Apparently bolters just rip through Chaos Marine armor like it's made of tinfoil, right?
40k is just too intricate for any realistic single film to be made about it.

Not true in the slightest. Voice actors actually worth their salt can do this easily, and the right body language can reinforce it.
There are a plethora of films and video games with helmeted protagonists/conversations over radio/out of shot/etc where you're in absolutely no doubt as to the emotions involved. This should never be used as an excuse for poor acting, because it doesn't excuse it.
There is however a problem with it in that it can make the individual characters harder to differentiate on screen. A lot of the time I was watching Ultramarines, it was very easy to lose track of which character (other than the obviously different Chaplain, Imperial Fist and Apothecary) was which.
A solution could be centring it around Deathwatch or Veteran marines who could have armour variants or customised wargear.

Yes but only if;
Not a single detail of it is left to random people, both the story script and the set should be given to actual warhammer content writers, those who are among the core lore craft and not people who "want to innovate".
No inserting "lessons of contemporary social justice" or whatnot
No pandering, no "gender/race swaps", just 100% authenticity.
Because big budget tends to do all that exactly the other way around irritating to living daylights out of franchise fans.
(I would therefor expect that if it happened you're ending up with the emperor giving a speech about inclusion and global warming (although that would legit be hilareous now that I think of it, to the paradigm)
