Borderlands Main Cast Assembles in Stylish New Poster
The highly anticipated Borderlands movie, set to hit theaters this August, has generated fresh excitement with the unveiling of a new poster. Director Eli Roth showcased exclusive footage of the film during the CCXP event in Mexico City, treating attendees to a sneak peek of the action-packed adventure.
While the footage remained exclusive to event attendees, the newly revealed poster offers a glimpse for all fans to enjoy. Featuring a slick and stylish design, the poster showcases the film’s main characters in a dynamic ensemble. Among them are Kevin Hart portraying Roland, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, Cate Blanchett embodying Lilith, and the lovable robot Claptrap, voiced by Jack Black. Accompanying the vibrant visuals is the movie’s tagline, “Chaos Loves Company.”
Directed by Roth, with Deadpool’s Tim Miller contributing to reshoots, the Borderlands movie has traversed a lengthy journey to its upcoming theatrical debut on August 9. Despite the challenges, principal photography wrapped in June 2021, signaling the film’s readiness for the big screen.
In a departure from the game series’ narratives, the movie follows Lilith’s reluctant return to Pandora, her home planet, in search of Atlas’ missing daughter. This quest leads her into a whirlwind of chaos, set against the backdrop of the galaxy’s most influential arms dealer.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has underscored the significance of the Borderlands film, emphasizing its place within a parallel Borderlands Cinematic Universe. This approach offers a distinct advantage, allowing for the exploration of unique storylines while remaining faithful to the beloved characters, tone, and style of the franchise. By establishing this parallel universe, the filmmakers have the creative freedom to delve into narratives that complement the established lore of the Borderlands universe while offering fresh perspectives and experiences for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
As the film project progresses, developments within the Borderlands game series continue to unfold. Reports suggest that Gearbox is actively working on the development of Borderlands 4, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Borderlands 3. Building upon the success of its predecessors, Borderlands 4 aims to deliver an immersive and action-packed experience, further expanding the rich tapestry of the Borderlands universe.
