At the moment, the project doesn’t have any writers or directors on board since Amazon is still in talks to acquire the rights to the sci-fi/fantasy video game. But once that is dealt with, the early stages of development for the live-action series are likely to commence.
Produced by Games Workshop,Warhammer 40,000is a renowned sci-fi/fantasy videogame. Set forty thousand years into the future with nothing but the stench of war everywhere, the game is based on humans constantly battling with otherworldly, magical creatures and demons. And Cavill being the geek that he is, is a huge fan of the game. Safe to say he’s the perfect fit for the adaptation series.
