I believe the Ultramarines movie draws nearer and nearer. I am lead to believe this because of the recent update on the Ultramarines the movie website. "Dan Abnett, ULTRAMARINES screenwriter, is coming to ComicCon in San Diego at the end of this month, with lots of activities lined up and several opportunities to meet many of you. Amongst other things, he’ll be talking about being screenwriter on the movie as part of a panel presented by SFX, called ‘The British Invasion’, running on Thursday July 22nd at 5pm in Hall 5AB. And on Friday 23rd July at 10- 11am he’ll be signing ULTRAMARINES postcards (or anything else you want him to!) in the Autograph Area at table AA20. More details to follow...
And for anyone who can’t make it to ComicCon, but wants to meet Dan and talk about the project, he’ll be in Baltimore for US Games Day on August 21st too."
Exciting isn't it and unfortunately I will not be at ComicCon I will however be at Games Day to give my readers coverage.

For those of you that have signed up for the Ultramarines the movie newsletter than you probably already know this but for those of you that don't or for that matter don't even know that they are coming out with a movie then here we go.
Terence Stamp, Sean Pertwee and John Hurt head the cast of actors lending their voices and their facial expressions to the Ultramarines movie. As well as Steven Waddington, Donald Sumpter and Johnny Harris, with Ben Bishop, Christopher Finney and Gary Martin appearing in supporting roles.
Multi award-winning and Oscar-nominated Terence Stamp confesses that a boyhood love of the science fiction classics attracted him to his role. “Warhammer 40,000 is an incredibly strange world, yet one with rules,” he says. “I felt very comfortable with Ultramarines - in fact, it’s really the culmination of a lot of things I’ve been in.” Stamp’s previous credits include Superman, Superman II, Valkyrie and the Halo 3 video game.
Sean Pertwee, acclaimed for his role in the action horror movie Dog Soldiers, says, “Before Ultramarines, I had no idea about the depth of Warhammer 40,000. I used to be into graphic art, so I find the concepts and architecture and character designs quite extraordinary. This film really is being made for the fans.” Pertwee’s other credits include Event Horizon, Mutant Chronicles and Equilibrium, as well as the video games Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior and Killzone 2.
John Hurt, winner of countless international awards and Oscar-nominated for his performances in The Elephant Man and Midnight Express, has a special feature role in Ultramarines. He says, “I know quite a lot about Warhammer 40,000 because my elder son was into it. I used to take him down to the store in London’s Oxford Street so he could see it in action. It’s a very different world which really teases the imagination.” Hurt’s numerous other film roles include Alien, Hellboy and Hellboy II and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Vanessa Chapman, managing director of the production company, Codex Pictures, is delighted to have attracted such a prestigious cast to Ultramarines. “Our goal has been to give the characters distinctive and authoritative voices, fitting to these superhuman men of war,” she says. “Coupled with the authentic and engaging facial capture provided by Image Metrics, these outstanding actors are going to do so much to bring the Warhammer 40,000 universe powerfully to life on screen.”
I personally can not wait until we have a release date for this movie and I also hope it's not going to be playing in "select theaters".
