If done correctly, a 40K movie would rock.

But what if it were not done correctly? GW and the producers could lose money.

Furthermore, from what I have heard from the Chairman of the Board, it is GW's belief you get more money from producing a videogame rather then doing a movie. It is a safer, less expensive investment that brings more profit.

Look at the Harry Potter series....they are making millions, and yet have cut parts due to keeping costs down. Greed eventually would hurt the franchise.

Actually it's got nothing to do with costs, and more about the fact that including everything from the books would mean require a couple dozen movies, and spending the next thirty or so years doing nothing but Harry Potter is probably something no one involved with the project wants to do.
