Acclaimed horror director Mike Flanagan has been recruited by Games Workshop to work on its upcoming Warhammer 40,000 adaptations. Flanagan, known for Netflix series such as The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, is expected to begin script work soon, according to the company. United Artists has also been brought on board for production.
The company confirmed that Henry Cavill, a self-proclaimed Warhammer superfan, will continue to produce and star in TV and film projects based on the miniature tabletop wargame. This confirmation addresses fan concerns following a lack of recent updates on the collaboration. Games Workshop also revealed it has "almost completed" work on a new Warhammer-inspired episode of Secret Level, an Amazon Prime Video anthology series. Additionally, development has commenced on a full animated series featuring the Space Marine Deathwatch characters.
Financial Performance and Tariffs
Arsenal Pursue Bruno Guimaraes Amid Newcastle Rejections
Newcastle United has rejected multiple offers from Arsenal for midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who is reportedly open to a move.
These developments in screen adaptations were announced alongside Games Workshop's annual financial report, which detailed record-high results. The company reported a 4.9% increase in pre-tax profit, reaching £275.7m for the fiscal year. In relation to tariffs, chief executive Kevin Rountree stated that the company paid approximately £12m, with £7.8m subsequently reclaimed following a US Supreme Court ruling. Rountree anticipates paying around £13m in tariffs in the upcoming business year due to changes in US rules, and the company will continue to focus on efficiency savings.
Rountree reiterated Games Workshop's firm stance against the use of generative artificial intelligence in product design and intellectual property creation, stating that this approach protects the integrity and ownership of their IP. However, he acknowledged the potential for AI tools to be automatically integrated into third-party software, making it difficult to ascertain their complete absence outside the Warhammer studio. The company plans to monitor this situation closely.
