Good god, Michael bay might be PERFECT for directing a 40k movie.

>>55107556
>>55107597
He would be PERFECT for an Orks movie! Doesn't need to worry about more then a paper thin plot, plenty of explosions, and he can make things look as confusing and/or ramshackle as he wanted and it would still make sense.
Hell, have the Sisters be the ones fighting the Orks and you can even get some of the titillation he likes too.

The only issue is the overuse of cgi.

W40K is so silly that rubber-masks would fit so well. Practical effects and pyrotechnics would be awesome.

>>55107556
Yes. No matter what people try to project onto it 40k is fundamentally a bunch of elements the designers thought was cool crammed into the one setting. His kind of approach would fit right into that.

>>55107556
It's gotta be salamanders teaming up with the tau for a buddy cop movie.

That sounds perfect for 40k

I would kill for the adventures of brother-captain nick cage and inquisitor johnny dep directed by micheal bay.

I feel like their inherent b movie would make the b movie that is 40k better than a serious cast. Plus you could get them for cheap.

You know, I wanted to scream 'no', but now that I think about it...

Fuck he might be perfect. Make it Sisters fighting Orks with the Ultra Marines showing up to save the day and you have the blueprint for his average movie. He'd need to get someone else to write, but even then it's not like it would need someone overly talented. A paper thin plot, lots of boobs and explosions with the ULTRA MARINES standing in the US military... it could work.

Nah, he would fuck it up.

The director of Man of Steel would be perfect.

>>55108129
Zac Snyder retired after his sexy little slut of a daughter gave herself The Emperor's Peace.

>>55108074

>>55107556
Rather than just meming, I'm going to unironically agree that this is the best possible director for the subject matter. Bay is a gifted director with an eye for composition, especially where post-production is concerned. As long as he's given a serviceable script, he can turn it into an extravaganza.

>Michael Bay directing a 40k kino

NORMIES GET OUT REEEE

>>55107556
If actually be perfectly okay with this.

40k is mostly dumb shit and explosions, so I think this is pretty ideal

>>55107556
Only if he hires Uwe Boll as an assistant.

He would go out of his way to subvert and insult it so no.

>>55107556

The hanged is some shitty forced meme made up by some autist who dislikes the space wolves, little realizing the irony of a supposed non furry making the leap of logic from the hanged, to a knot to a knotted wolf cock. Just goes to show who the real degenerates are on this board.

>>55107556
Is Meghan Fox dead in this timeline?

>>55107556
As others before me pointed out, as utterly retarted as it sounds, Michael Bay is actually the best choice, if you just want to make a simple, action heavy 40k Movie. Just throw a good ol' IG is saved by Marines Plot and give him a good skript, that he can use. The Action will be over the top, Explosions everywhere, maybe some badass BALLS OF STEEL Guard Moments here and there, so basicly everything that this kind of movie would need. All that you got to do then, would be preventing him from inserting american flags or casting Megan Fox.

Counter-suggestion: Get this guy to make a film about a Titan crew.

I want Neil Blomkamp to stop fucking around with his atmospheric experimental films and either get us a gritty halo movie or a 40k movie.

>>55120228
Has he shown any interest in 40k since the initial tweet?

>>55107556
Maybe, but I'd definitely just go in for it being a dumb action flick rather than one with interesting characters or a nuanced story.

>>55107790
The Smurfs are the Astartes posterboys, though. That said, Salamanders would probably be more fun.

>>55107932
There are ways to accomplish that with practical effects, though. A bit trickier, sure, but the end result would probably look better, imo.

>>55109026
No, dude, it's a hypothetical.

>>55107556
Michael Bay has directed at least one good movie: The Rock. Also a WH40k Final Liberation done in the style of Pearl Harbor would work better than something trite like Ultramarines.
What you're not going to get is Grimdark Aesthetics, but that's really not something you want to watch for 2 hours anyway.
Tldr Bay isn't good but he's not fucking Uwe Boll.

>>55107556
>explosion city
>lowbrow humor perfect for Orks

You know what, sounds pretty good.

>>55107728
Of course not, Zack Snyder it is, and you can see already the results in Sucker Punch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iVLEm61kOk

>>55121910
NO. Not Zack, he'd be the worst and the scene you linked shows why: He can handle the scenery, but his actors have no physicality to their movements. There's no actual sense of them using muscles when they stab, no rush to their running, nothing that makes the viewer believe they are interacting with an environment instead of green ball number three in front of the green screen. He is an okay effects guy, but I've never felt that he directs the actors to have believeable movement. That goes for all his films, even in 300 I never felt that they trust the spears with all their greekly might. Also, goddamn shakey cam atrocities.

Michael Bay would also not be a good director, because a centrL theme of 40k is about obedience to authorities, and that is instant death in Bayland. Can you imagine Space Marines flipping their chapter master the bird? Because they would. They absolutely would. And they would not say anything like "purge the heretic!" when using flame throwers.

I believe they would yell, "Semper Fi, MOTHERFUCKER!"

>>55107556
Would there be 40K vehicles, or would he just put in the US military as the IG? If he didn't completely fuck it up (by setting it in modern day earth somehow), then it would probably be one of his only good movies.

>>55107638
Ork Sisters?

>>55121910
But Sucker Punch is the ugliest film he's ever done. It's seriously the only one of his movies you can't at least say "it looked pretty".

Producer here with minimal to no knowledge of the source material, aka the best person for the job.
Alright, here's what we do:
Imperial Guard, they're more approachable and human, right? Can be played by pretty actors and women? They're pretty much the colonial marines from Aliens?
We set it up as a team of soldiers from the Imperial Guard being sent to some whatever base in a far off planet to investigate a distress call. Maybe the planet was researching something to help them in the war.
The team is pretty casual, there's some banter and quips to make them likeable. Maybe 3 guys, divided in the usual leader/sarcastic guy/meathead and 2 women, one is the no-nonsense nanny and the other is the quriky nerdy one.
They meet some scientists, fight some Tyranids first because they're easy mooks that can lead to a quick and good action scene.
Next, an ork spaceship crashlands on the planet, they're looking for whatever MacGuffin is held in the planet. Why orks? Simple, they're green, silly, have accents, audiences will eat them up, we could sell a lot of merch with them.
Then we get a Space Marine, he's sent after the team requests help. He's stoic and noble, he's gonna be our serious side for the film.
So now we can start act 3. Meathead dies along with some other scientist while a bunch of shit is happening.
Scientist has been taking them to the center of the base, and it's then revealed he was actually evil the whole time and we get Chaos in, because space-slugs and dumb green guys don't make serious stakes, demons do.
Then it's a run for the macguffin, Space Marine destroys it and has a final fight with a demon-scientist or whatever.
Everyone dies.
Leader guy sacrifices himself to save quirky girl, saying he always loved her.
Movie ends with Space Marine the girl survivor on a ship back, she's all sad and shit, and she promises to continue investigating the macguffin as we set up the sequel.
With a good marketing campaign we can get at least 600M.

>>55110221
Being orange and having a marmot on your head are a bit more distinctive than being fat.

Mediocre but workable.

I almost never go to the movies except on special occasions so no I wouldn't watch a dumb 40K movie even if James Cameron were co-directing it with Steven Spielberg.

>>55107556
Conflict and combat for the sake of plot? Check.
An excess of flames and explosions? Check.
CGI mechs fighting gladiator style? Check.
Plucky human main characters reluctantly picking up their gun and saving the day? Check.
Lowbrow, slapstick humor, and arguably witty one liners? Check.

Interestingly enough, Bay would probably make a decent W40k movie. Of course, the elitist mobs that refuse to acknowledge anything but the most narrow interpretation of what they "know" to be 40k would screech that the normies are ruining their perfect and beloved version of the setting, so anything that triggers them and is capable of entertaining me for a couple hours with a chance of sequels is fine by me. After all, it's not like there isn't a standard that would be vaulted over.

Knowing Bay, the plot would be Ultramarines vs Orks, with the IG coming to the rescue. His propensity to, during the 3rd act, change the protagonists to unnamed regular dudes in army uniforms is well documented.

>>55140890
Isn't that largely to pad his movie's budget with cash from America's military-industrial complex and appeal to MURICA FUCK YEAH types at the box office though?

Eh, probably.
I'm kind of over the haet 40K phase between the DoW shitposting having dried up, and the community at my former LGS showing a much more positive attitude towards players of competing franchises.

I mean, I'm not likely to buy in, but maybe it's that detachment and knowledge that it was never meant to take itself seriously that makes Michael "Is there anything in this movie that wasn't CGI" Bay an alright candidate to direct. Assuming that GW is still targeting tweens and early teens, a summer PG-13 blockbuster might be successful for GW, granted that MB keeps to the lore. If not, GW will probably retcon what they need to score more of the new buy-ins.

A 40k movie in anyway acceptable to fans and true to the subject matter will never exist. It's too male, pale and stale.
