"I just want to be empty," Frank (Simon Meacock) tells his brother Tom (Ben Bishop). Wide-eyed, bearded Frank is at breaking point. Thanks to his freakish ability to become impregnated with the spirits of the deceased, he was born a medium between the living and the dead. As paying clients put their lips to his mouth tube and a stethoscope to his distended belly, Frank serves as their human telephone, receiving and transmitting messages from the other side. Yet for Frank this uncanny gift is more like a curse, and he is increasingly desperate to use his half of the accumulated profits to have his stomach surgically removed so that he can start living his own life. First, though, he must be the unwilling conduit...

Codex Pictures have teamed with Games Workshop to create Ultramarines, a feature-length movie on DVD/Blu-ray set in Games Workshop’s futuristic Warhammer 40,000 universe. The sci-fi thriller, which is employing CGI and state-of-the-art animation production techniques, is being produced by Codex Pictures in association with Good Story Productions Ltd.

Terence Stamp, Sean Pertwee and John Hurt head the cast of actors who have lent their voices – and their facial expressions – to Ultramarines, and the rest of the cast includes Steven Waddington, Donald Sumpter and Johnny Harris, with Ben Bishop, Christopher Finney and Gary Martin appearing in supporting roles.

The Story: "Nathan the Caveman" by Ben Bishop (W/A) - self-published
What It's About: The remains of a caveman are discovered in a remote location and brought back to the United States for a museum exhibit. Meanwhile, aspiring artist Nathan Burling finds himself falling in love with Adrianna, a 24-year-old employee of the same museum that's about to host the caveman exhibit—but a previous heartbreak in his enigmatic past prevents him from fully accepting a good thing when he sees it.
The story of Nathan and Adrianna's developing romance unfolds concurrently with a look back upon the caveman's life and the similar events that led to his death.
Why It Works: What "Nathan the Caveman" lacks in name recognition is more than made up for in its true-to-life portrayal of a young creative mind rediscovering love and passion. This isn't a classic superhero bash-'em-up type of story—though...
