Okay /tg/, it's me, Mel Movie Executive, the richest movie

Been said before.

Eisenhorn trilogy with Liam Neeson as lead.


Good film for fans, and plebs can probably understand it enough as a jumping in point.

creating new characters mary suish enough to survive multiple movies in 40k is bad
adapting existing stories will result in nerd rage and disappointment
creating new stories with already existing characters is fanfiction tier

the cinematic universe will need to be formed by roughly independent stories and characters
actual events and characters in the background will have to be mentioned or somehow visible "as if happening in another room, but visible through the glass"
the plots for the various films must not have consequences, even just potential ones, as far as the main narrative of the setting is concerned
bad ends are a very valid option

I don't know what it's got to be about, I'd probably just adapt a Space Marine story, but it has to be entirely animated.

Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM
Those books are made for this.

Either this >>54496567
Or a Horus Heresy trilogy, I'd say

Horus Heresy Trilogy. People love trilogies, right? Incorporate the fall of the Elgar and rise of the Mexrons in there

Inquisitor with a quirky retinue travels the stars learning the values of tolerance and friendship.

Not gonna happen chief, I hope you kept a receipt because 40 is shit and cannot compete with those properties. Just get yourself a refund on this turd and look for something actually marketable to anyone but the market equivalent of battered housewives.

Look at every major sci-fi, fantasy or space opera movie that has come out recently that wasn't Capeshit, Star Wars or LotR, they tend to bomb miserably. Jupiter ascending, John Carter, Valerian, Enders Game, etc. Avatar was the sole exception but that's because at the time it was still playing with a fresh concept.

A 40k movie would bomb horribly, just like a Dune movie. Hollywood isn't taking that kind of risk just to pander to a crowd that will probably hate what they put out anyways.

>launching the 40k movie franchise with non-space marines
That's like starting off Star Wars with Rogue one or starting off the MCU with agents of shield. No one wants to be introduced into a universe by the boring side characters
