There have been plenty of video game adaptations over the years, with most of them unfortunately failing to deliver. The latest on the horizon is Lionsgate’s adaptation of Gearbox Software's Borderlands, with the studio dropping their final trailer late last month.
Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Kevin Hart, Cate Blanchett, Jack Black and Jamie Lee Curtis (just to name a few) the film looks to be as comically charged and explosive as the beloved Gearbox Software games. The film's plot is set to follow Lillith (Cate Blanchett), an infamous outlaw who brings together a motley crew of misfits to aid with finding the daughter of the most powerful man in the universe.
On the surface the film looks very promising, with the comedic nature and explosive action emulating the game perfectly. It does, however, do very little to embellish the narrative, leaving room for scepticism. Hopefully the film delivers on the overall promising premise, putting itself in the minority category of successful video game adaptations.
