Apparently the screenplay is by Craign Mazin who wrote Chernobyl for HBO. So maybe. But the dialog from Chernobyl is a long way from what they will be going for in this. I have little hope for a video game movie directed by Eli Roth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 They need to film 80 different versions, one of which has the protagonist find a machine gun that is awesome but has a clip size of 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I hope there's a 10-minute scene in the movie where the main character stares at 8 different guns and compares their min/max stats before deciding which to keep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 51 minutes ago, Keyser_Soze said: It certainly looks better than Gran Turismo which @Greatoneshere raves about. I'm not even sure what this means. I've never watched the trailers for Gran Turismo (so I can't say if this movie's trailers "look better" than Gran Tursimo's did), but the final product was surprisingly solid. I wouldn't say "raves about" though. A solid 7/10 film when I expected a 4/10, and director Neill Blomkamp did a good job. I did actually watch the trailer for this since I'm not all that invested in Borderlands (though I did play the third one online for others) and yeah, that looks like Borderlands. Honestly doesn't look terrible, which is a great start for something I thought was likely going to be trash. Set and costume design look well done and they certainly nailed the extremely immature, for teenage boys raunchy comedy and toilet/gross out humor the games are certainly known for. It's also strange to see legitimate actors Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis slumming it in this alongside Jack Black and Kevin Hart who do films like Jumanji and Kung Fu Panda. I feel all the actor cred could at least elevate the film even if it is bad (in the same way perhaps that Djimon Honsou and David Harbour did in elevating Gran Turismo with their acting). Also, Eli Roth was finishing his horror film Thanksgiving so he didn't even do the customary reshoots for this film, Deadpool/Terminator: Dark Fate director Tim Miller did, which is something. ‘Borderlands’: Tim Miller Dishes on Directing Reshoots and Reaction to Movie [Exclusive] COLLIDER.COM The director stopped by Collider Dailies to chat about Eli Roth's upcoming 'Borderlands' adaptation and more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Yeah, that doesn't look great. What in the world is Cate Blanchett doing in this movie? She seems very out of place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
