After a very long gestation period and extensive reshoots, Lionsgate’s “Borderlands,” an adaptation of the space Western science fantasy video game, finally arrives in theaters this summer.
Directed by Eli Roth (“Thanksgiving”), the star-studded cast includes Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Édgar Ramírez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Lee. People revealed a first look today, Blanchett playing the infamous outlaw character Lilith and the rest of the gang playing its motley crew gang of characters.

Here’s the synopsis from Lionsgate
Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Ramírez), the universe’s most powerful S.O.B. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits – Roland (Hart), a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound protector; Tannis (Curtis), the oddball scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap (Black), a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.
Looks like absolute dog shit in every possible way.
They lost me at “Eli Roth”.
I mean, I’ll still give it a go but that trailer doesn’t get me excited.
It’s disgusting. A rotting meat puppet made from the long dead carcass of a well-loved classic. Fuck these greedy, uncreative assclowns
