The first trailer is out Eli Rothfilm adaptation of the hit action video game Borderlands. The trailer makes this movie look really fun and action-packed! It certainly seems to capture the tone and energy of the game.
Although Roth is the credited director, the film went through numerous reshoots with the Deadpool director Tim Miller at the helm. When he talked about why he decided to take on the directorial duties, he said: “I want to see every video game adaptation succeed, I’ll be honest, I wanted to work with Cate Blanchett and I wanted to work with Kevin.” [Hart] and Jamie Lee Curtis. And Ariana Greenblatt, the young woman who plays Tiny Tina, is amazing, as everyone knows from the movie Barbie. So it was a great experience all round.
Movie stars Cate Blanchett like Lilith, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, Kevin Hart like Rolando, Black Jackthe character of Claptrap, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, and Florian Munteanu like Krieg.
In the film, “Lilith, a notorious outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the most powerful son of a bitch in the universe, Atlas (Ramirez). Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team: Roland (Hart), a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a ferocious pre-teen wrecker; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s muscular and rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Curtis), the scientist with a tenuous hold on sanity; and Claptrap (Black), a persistently wise robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe may be in their hands, but they will fight for something more: for each other.”
Speaking previously about the tone of the film, Roth said: “It’s bananas. I really wanted to keep the spirit of the film in the spirit of the games. Randy Pitchford, the creator, was there with me every step of the way. If I had my idea for a joke that wasn’t in Borderlands canon, he’d be like, “Oh, that’s cool.” Claptrap would absolutely do that.” For all the character stuff I wanted them to do, I was like, ‘Okay, would Lilith do something like that?’ Or, ‘Is this a Tiny Tina move?’ He says, ‘That’s cool.’ We should do that in the game. That’s really, really cool.” So yes, the movie is fun. It’s wild. It was a huge, huge undertaking, especially during Covid. People are going to have to wait a little longer for that, but I’m really, really excited about it.”
The film is also the protagonist Haley Bennett, Janina Gavankar, Gina Gershon, Cheyenne Jackson, Charles Babalola, Benjamin Byron Davis, Steven Boyer, Ryann RedmondAND Bobby Lee.
