everyone complaining about, like, fidelity to the source material, lol? the writing in these games is hot garbage that is only tolerable because it's stapled to a dopamine generator. the best thing they could possibly do is throw as much of it out as possible while still keeping enough of the IP to chisel a budget out of some feckless executive producer. just call jack black Mr Borderland and let him shoot a rocket out of a bus
I really did like borderland's world building. IRL respawning. Human made megastructures on a cosmic scale, Mad max style raiders. But yeah the writing is raw ass.
The biggest problem about the casting is it feels like they chose people who are 20 years older than the characters they're supposed to portray. And then you have Kevin Hart and Jack Black... Just, who is making these horrible casting decisions?
I've said it before, I'll say it again, this is going to be hot garbage on an August afternoon. I'm convinced this is going to be as closely related to the source material as the Wanted movie was.
They've genderswapped Knoxx and had to create a man named Atlas to be the face of the corporation? what the hell are they even adapting? just an original story using names we know?
I was talking about this to my girlfriend when the first trailer dropped. Honestly they should have done an original story and named the movie borderlands 4.
Make it cannon to the games and it would have fit perfectly with how absurd borderlands is. That way you can craft a bespoke story that fits in movie for instead of having to worry about adaptation.
