Finally, We’re Getting a Borderlands Movie!
Calling all gamers and fans of video game movie adaptations! I have some exciting news for you! Gear up, because the Borderlands movie is set to release on 9th August 2024!
A Bumpy Ride to the Big Screen
Now, the road to the Borderlands movie hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. Let me take you on a journey through its tumultuous history.
Back in 2015, the film was first announced, sparking enthusiasm among die-hard fans. But then, like a grenade bouncing off a wall, things went quiet.
Fast forward five long years, and we get the announcement that Eli Roth, the maestro behind Hostel, will be taking the director’s chair. And hey, how about that? Craig Mazin, the mastermind behind The Last of Us and Chernobyl, would be the one penning the script. Now, that’s a killer combo!
With promises of a “fresh, compelling, and cinematic event,” hopes were high for an epic gaming movie experience.

A Star-Studded Cast Shines Bright
Then, like a level-up surprise, the cast came together, and boy, oh boy, it’s quite the ensemble!
Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the legendary Jack Black all signed up to bring the beloved Borderlands characters to life. It’s a dream team that has us eagerly awaiting their on-screen antics.
Trouble in Paradise
But alas, my fellow vault hunters, the road to movie magic wasn’t without its stumbling blocks.
After wrapping up principal photography in June 2021, the Borderlands movie encountered a few rough patches. Various writers joined the crew to tweak the script, and Eli Roth passed the baton to none other than Tim Miller, the mastermind behind the Deadpool films, for the much-talked-about reshoots.
Here Comes the Plot Twist
As if that wasn’t enough drama, recently there were rumors that Craig Mazin had distanced himself from the Borderlands adaptation by using a pseudonym. But fear not! Mazin himself put those rumors to rest, stating, “I did not use a pseudonym. If the name in question is indeed a pseudonym, all I can say is… it’s not mine.”
With the air cleared, we can focus on the excitement building up for the release of this highly-anticipated movie. So mark your calendars, fellow gamers, because the world of Pandora is about to explode onto the big screen in the most awesome way possible!
Get ready to shoot, loot, and have an absolute blast with the Borderlands movie! It’s a gamer’s dream come true, and we can’t wait to join the adventure!
