I have a bad feeling about this movie, but Kevin is hilarious.

 

[JCK75]

As a horror fan I find quite a few of Roth's movies to be enjoyable.. but this is not the kind of project you hand over to him and expect anything but a hot mess.

 

[Tomeru]

I hear originally the budget for this movie was meant to go towards the next Alien movie, however they just made this instead and outsourced the filming for aliens to some Chinese studio.

Wait what

[STARSBarry]

Wait what

Sorry was a dig at Gearbox over this.

I knoe there are comedic elements to the borderlands series, but Kevin Hart is nothing like how Roland is supposed to be. He'd be more suited for claptrap honestly.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Borderlands movie might be a banger if they can pull off the mad Max post apocalyptic looting vibe I expect greatness from Kevin.

 

[namekuseijin]

I dunno, I think Kevin is more suited to playing Claptrap - he might fit inside the metal plate just fine.

my very first thought

he's typecast to be comic relief

but then, we've seen plenty of though guys trying to do comedy before, why not the other way around?

 

[Krappadizzle]

I still can't believe that we are getting a Borderlands movie while STILL not getting a Halo or Half-Life movie.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Kevin Hart is a runt and Cate Blanchett is over 50. Terrible casting for this movie, for the roles they are playing.

 

[AJUMP23]

If they don't rotoscope this movie and do what they did with that one Keuanu Reeves movie then I think that is a missed opportunity.

 

[darth.shrimp]

It's getting worse by the day...

 

[RPSleon]

I feel like the only reason we get this kinda stuff now is because the movie industry wants to cash in on the game industry. Whereas it used to be more of a "look games are a legit form of entertainment because they are making it in to a film".

 

[Gatox]

Every single new actor reveal just makes this film sound worse

 

[Soodanim]

The Moxxi casting is all that matters

Changed my mind - I also want to know who will play Ellie.

They're gonna cast Ruby Rose, aren't they?

[mckmas8808]

Oh wow

 

[Iced Arcade]

literally trying to make this movie unwatchable

 

[Cravis]

Huh? Wait? Are they serious? I like Jack Black but....

 

[Green_Eyes]

Love Cate Blanchett, but I don't see her playing Lilith...

 

[Fuz]

I love Jack, but no.

 

[Mistershine.]

Why not just get the normal voice actor for claptrap as he'll be a cgi character anyway!

 

[Soltype]

No offense to anyone, but what good material do they have to work with.Everybody acting like they're adapting a classic novel.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Jack can pull it off... he has the charisma for it but Kevin as Roland...wtf. Roland is one of the serious chacraters and kevein is just kevin. What are these idiots thinking..

 

[DESTROYA]

No one ever asked for this but the casting is questionable.

 

[Goro Majima]

Would have vastly preferred someone like Charlie Day who has a squeakier and more panicked sounding voice

 

[The Alien]

Cat Blanchett.....Kevin Hart....Eli Roth doing a video game movie? WTF is this randomness.

 

[The_Mike]

Wonder what guy he's going to kiss.
