The upcoming film adaptation of Gearbox Studios' Borderlands is inching ever closer, arriving in cinemas on 9th August. Starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, we aren't seeing much buzz for this one, but perhaps this "final trailer" will light a fire under all of you dormant Vault Hunters out there.
In this telling, infamous bounty hunter Lillith (Blanchett) returns to the unruly planet of Pandora, searching for the lost daughter of galaxy-spanning arms manufacturer Atlas. Along the way, she encounters mercenary Roland (Heart), pre-teen sadist Tiny Tina and her protector, Krieg, as well as eclectic scientist Tannis and wisecracking robot Claptrap (Black). Hijinks will almost undoubtedly ensue.
While we've seen some complaints about the casting, we don't know what people want from a Borderlands film in the first place, if not zany antics, toilet humour, and explosive action setpieces. It will be interesting to see how this one performs when it hits the big screen, but we don't imagine it will set the world on fire.
