Director: Eli Roth
Release Date: August 9, 2024
The immensely popular Gearbox “looter shooter” game has surpassed 75 million copies in sales, amassing net revenues exceeding one billion dollars.
While director Eli Roth is best known for ground-breaking horror, this time he’s tackling video games and action, bringing to life the Borderlands series.
While the games feature a distinct, cel-shaded look, this is a live-action feature starring Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black. Which tells us it should be a funny ride, too!
Enthusiastic fans eagerly anticipate the transition of this beloved video game franchise to the silver screen, particularly intrigued by how the distinctive visual style will be translated.
With its hand-drawn textures and vibrant coloring, the game offers a unique gaming experience rarely matched elsewhere. Anticipation mounts as details emerge about the film, promising an unparalleled cinematic journey. Similarly, the neon, fast-paced vibrance á la Mad Max is present in the new film.
Led by a stellar cast and crew, both in front of and behind the camera, and boasting a prime summer release slot along with an electrifying trailer.
Here is the Borderlands movie trailer.
