All About the 'Borderlands' Movie
Almost a decade in the making, the beloved "looter shooter" video game will finally hit the big screen. So, IMDb presents this break down of everything we know about the 2024 'Borderlands' movie. 'Hostel' director Eli Roth assembles an all-star cast for this live-action video game adaptation.
Starring Cate Blanchett as the infamous outlaw Lilith, Borderlands is set in 2864 on the distant planet of Pandora Lilith recruits her own ragtag team, including the reality-challenged scientist, Tannis, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the smart-mouthed robot, Claptrap, voiced by Jack Black, and the deadly mercenary, Roland, played by Kevin Hart, who has been weapons-training for the role. Édgar Ramírez plays the evil corporate overlord Atlas, who hires Lilith to find his daughter on the alien-infested Pandora.
You can expect something akin to the game "Halo" or the movie 'Aliens' meets 'Escape from New York.' Plus, that sassy robot, Claptrap!
Launching in 2009, the Borderlands game franchise has released four main series adventures and numerous spin-offs that blend a first-person shooter with a role-playing game to create what developer Gearbox Software calls a "role-playing shooter."
Lionsgate and Roth hope to launch their filmic franchise when Borderlands hits big screens in 2024.
