The Warhammer 40,000 movie Ultramarines is shaping up nicely. Today they’ve announced a truly impressive line up of voice talent.
There’s Terence Stamp, Sean Pertwee and John Hurt plus the likes of Steven Waddington, Donald Sumpter, Johnny Harris, Ben Bishop, Christopher Finney and Gary Martin.
John Hurt (Hellboy, Alien), in particular, seems to have some prior knowledge. In the video and press release he’s quoted saying;
“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.”
Terence Stamp (Superman, Halo 3) seems to be being sucked in. He’s quoted;
“Warhammer 40,000 is an incredibly strange world, yet one with rules,”
“I felt very comfortable with Ultramarines – in fact, it’s really the culmination of a lot of things I’ve been in.”
Sean Pertwee (Equilibrium, Mutant Chronicles, Dog Soldiers) is all about the fans;
“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.”
