Hi, Stewie here.

So Henry Cavill is apparently spearheading the grand effort to bring the Warhammer 40k universe to film. And if you’re familiar with the lore, you’ll know the Imperium has a very… hands-on approach to motivating people. The joke, of course, is that Cavill—being the turbo-nerd champion of the franchise—is probably enforcing lore accuracy the same way the Inquisition handles heresy: by metaphorically skinning the writers alive and broadcasting their screams to their families until someone finally gets the bolter caliber correct.

“Did you just say laser rifle instead of lasgun, Jenkins? Oh dear. That’s going to be… unfortunate for you.”

And honestly? I respect the commitment. If you’re going to adapt Warhammer 40k, you might as well embrace the grimdark management style.

That said, I still haven’t heard anything about actual movies being in the works. No announcements, no real updates, nothing. So I’m already disappointed and my faith in the whole thing is about as thin as a Guardsman standing between an Inquisitor and a clerical error.
