Amazon – Warhammer 40k Deal Could Get Shelved
A new rumor claims that Amazon MGM Studios and Games Workshop are shelving their Warhammer 40k live-action project. Last year Games Workshop and Amazon signed a partnership to develop the Warhammer Cinematic series. At the time the company declared in a blogpost that it was the good news.
“Back in December last year we announced Games Workshop and Amazon Studios had signed an agreement in principle to work together to bring the Warhammer 40,000 universe to screens, big and small.
“Well, today we have an update, and it’s one we’ve all been longing to hear. We’ve now signed the full agreement and the next stage can begin!”
This new rumor comes from YouTuber Arch of The ArchCast channel. He explains, “Right now, the agreement in principle between Games Workshop and Amazon appears to be in effect. This means that a team at Amazon a team of writers is right now trying to write out a story that is going to be turned into the Warhammer 40k television show.
Amazon – Warhammer 40k Deal Could Get Shelved
“They have, I believe, a few more months on this deadline for this project and they have to hand it in and then it either has to be greenlit, or they have to have their writing date further postponed in the hope that they can produce something better further down the line, or the entire project will be shelved.”
He adds, “Those are the three opportunities. Either they’ll have a project they’ll go ahead with, they’ll shelve the whole thing, or they will extend the deadline to try and get a decent product going. In other words, nothing is finalized yet. Absolutely nothing.
“There isn’t even any money for the project allocated as far as my insider can tell on Amazon’s behalf. No writing staff has been truly hired. No money has been truly allocated. No plans have been truly made.”
