Director Eli Roth not too long ago opened up about his upcoming movie adaptation of Borderlands and teases what we are able to anticipate from it. One of the issues that he makes a degree of saying is that it’s going to retain the “spirit” of the unique video games.
While speaking to ComingSoon, Roth was requested about the sort of humor we’d see in the film and if it might be as reference-heavy as the unique video games. So he talked about that and how the creator of the sport, Randy Pitchford, was there to entertain his concepts:
“It’s bananas. I really wanted to keep the spirit of the movie in the spirit of the games. Randy Pitchford, the creator, was there with me every step of the way. If I had my own idea for a joke that’s not part of Borderlands in the canon, he’s like, ‘Oh, that’s great. Claptrap would absolutely do this.’ All the character stuff that I wanted them to do, I’m like, ‘Okay, would Lilith do something like this?’ Or, ‘Is this a Tiny Tina move?’ He’s like, ‘That is so fantastic. We should do that in the game. That’s really, really terrific.’ So yeah, the film is fun. It is wild. It was a massive, massive undertaking — especially in Covid. People are going to have to wait a little longer for that one, but I’m really, really thrilled with it.”
I hope this film truly seems to be an important one! We’ll see how that seems, although. The film had gone via two weeks of reshoots that weren’t directed by Roth. The studio ended up bringing in Deadpool director Tim Miller to interchange Roth for the reshoots as a result of Roth was beginning work on his Thanksgiving horror film.

Here’s the synopsis that was launched for the movie:
Lilith (Blanchett), an notorious outlaw with a mysterious previous, reluctantly returns to her residence planet of Pandora to search out the lacking daughter of the universe’s strongest S.O.B., Atlas (Ramirez). Lilith kinds an alliance with an surprising crew – Roland (Hart), a former elite mercenary, now determined for redemption; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Curtis), the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap (Black), a persistently wiseass robotic. These unlikely heroes should battle alien monsters and harmful bandits to search out and shield the lacking lady, who might maintain the key to unimaginable energy. The destiny of the universe might be of their arms – however they’ll be combating for one thing extra: one another.”
