Just for those saying they would pay for a copy of LI

they want me to have a kind of license that allows me to make non commercial Warhammer 40.000 movies.

Even off hand comments of support are spiked with venom/common sense for GW.

The site itself shut down cause the guy couldn't afford it anymore. He had a really bad run of luck from what I heard.

Pretty much. As far as I am aware, he wanted to publish the strips. Whether he asked permission first or not (rumour has it he didn't), GW said no.

My point was that if something as expensive as the DoW intro can almost be replicated by a guy in his basement, what was GW's excuse for Ultramarines?

THQ paid a buttload for the DoW intro, more than GW would be willing to fork out. The only way to make Ultramarines at the same quality would be to licence the production completely to a much bigger studio, so that they could finance and distribute it in a manner to reclaim the costs. This would become a far bigger project, probably necessitating a full theatrical release, an enormous marketing campaign and a wider public DVD effort.

Now they need some professional voice actors. Only problem I saw with the trailer...
