Ian Watson | 40k Author & Kubrick Screenwriter

In Conversation with Jordan Sorcery

Ian Watson is the original author for the 40K universe. Hired by Bryan Ansell to write science-fiction stories for his beloved settings, Watson was responsible for creating the Inquisitor trilogy featuring Draco, Meh'Lindi the assassin, and Grimm the Squat, as well as for writing the long verboten novel Space Marine.
Watson also worked with legendary film maker Stanley Kubrick to create the screenplay for the movie that would later be made by Steven Spielberg - A.I. Artificial Intelligence - and we talked about the process and outcomes of that unique experience.
Many thanks to my Patreon supporters and Lewis of the Oldhammer Fiction Podcast for help in prepping for this interview.
