Dan, i am a big fan of your books and the Warhammer 40k Universe.

I personaly did not like this movie. But it was a first step.

My question to you is did you like the end-product?

And did Codex Production take something out that was vital to the plot?

Ever going to a screen in London?
Need 40k Big screen in madness London!
Just in case ...LONDON for all those that cant hear in the back...for all my yelling there has/is one going to be shown in London right?
It says London and say nothing, but London is this side of the pond where 40k comes from of course, so Lndon or indeed the UK needs screenings of Ultramarines!

I STILL have not received mine yet despite it being despatched (supposedly) on 10 Dec.

Obviously nothing to do with you Dan but if Codex want to pursue a different business model of direct to DVD direct to customer then they need to get their distribution partner working properly as it is damaging their reputation.

The customer service at the distribution house is awful!

Looking forward to seeing it eventually though!!!!!

Mister Abnett big thanks for the script - it was really good! Another thanks for the beautiful new interview!

And another for the huge Gaunt work that you have done over the years!
I began reading the Ghosts cycle 10 long years ago on my 18 birthday! Now i celebrate my 28 anniversary and as a gift to myself i reread all 12 books of Gaunt Ghosts. And you know, it was fantastic! After so long i saw the new dimension in them, and its hard not to be impressed by your writing style, clever dialogues and indigenous deaths!

Now sitting at the work and waiting for Salvations Reach - the clock is ticking so slow - its 9 months for the release! Arrrrrr! Maybe some spoiler free extras in the meantime!
Hoping for the huge Space War!

this movie has me in a rage at my friends...
some dislike it because of the talking (witch i found was dun well due the the way astaties talk etc)

some feel there should have need more money spent on the movie as a hole witch i kinda have to agree on as....well...yea

this leads to the third point of the cgi witch probably hindered some nuances of the what i felt was a well voice acted movie

thanks dan for a well placed foot in the door for (fingers crossed) more in the future

Mr. Abnett, will you be at any of the screenings like an older rumor said you were?

Keamy said...

I am to far away to go to any of these. Guess I will just keep saving up and buy it at some point. :-) But I hope they come out with a cheeper version I really don't need the collectors edition all I want to see is the movie!

As with Duke_Leto, I have not received the movie I paid for three months ago, and have stopped receiving replies to my emails asking about the status.

I realize that you're not associated with the distribution of the product, but since I no longer have a way of communicating with those that do I'm left with no choice but to contact those associated with the production to let them know of the situation, and to warn those who might be thinking of purchasing this product that they do so at their own risk.
