Lionsgate has been making an attempt to get a Borderlands movie off the bottom since 2015, with Eli Roth changing into connected to the undertaking in 2020. After a longer-than-expected wait and a series of reshoots with Tim Miller on the helm, the film is an actual factor, and it’s coming in August. The primary trailer, nevertheless, is right here now:
The Borderlands video games concern a rotating quartet of Vault Hunters who present up on the planet Pandora seeking to discover a legendary Vault (and shoot varied bandits and robots within the face). The movie options a number of characters from the primary two video games, however places them in a really non-game setup: Cate Blanchett’s Lilith has highly effective Siren talents and returns to Pandora to rescue the daughter of Edgar Ramírez’s Atlas. She hates to be there, but it surely’s not lengthy earlier than she’s joined by soldier Roland (Kevin Hart), mad scientist Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), bruiser Kreig (Florian Munteau), and demolitions knowledgeable Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt). The group will (presumably) proceed to seek out each bandit or robotic they will and shoot them within the face with quite a lot of weapons. Oh, and Claptrap (Jack Black) is there too.
Gearbox’s video games are identified for having a colourful (and chatty) solid of characters, and the trailer largely delivers on that entrance. It’s very unashamedly goofy just like how the video games usually are, but it surely’s lacking one thing: a ridiculous arsenal of weapons! We do see some weapons, but it surely’s one of many signatures of the collection, and it feels unsuitable to not see it totally depicted right here. Possibly they’re saving that for the second trailer, together with the solid spending two minutes sorting by a foul UI to swap out their gear.
Talking of that solid, new character posters dropped together with the trailer. Feast your eyes!
