Nottingham company Games Workshop, which makes Warhammer, has agreed a deal with Amazon to make films and TV programmes based on the fantasy games.
The firm said it has “reached an agreement in principle” for Amazon to develop its intellectual property. Superman and The Witcher actor Henry Cavill has confirmed he is attached to the project.
Shares in Lenton-based Games Workshop soared by 16% as the business announced a deal with Amazon which will see the US giant create new films and TV series out of the company’s Warhammer franchise. The company produces Warhammer products at its Nottingham factory and offices site, off Lenton Lane.
