Bringing you a gem from the far reaches of space... and no, I'm not talking about 'Guardians of the Galaxy', but Lionsgate's shiny adaptation of '
Borderlands' . Directed by Eli Roth, known for 'Hostel' and his flair for horror, this gem
promises intergalactic treasure-hunting adventures.
Our lead, Lilith (played by Cate Blanchett from 'Carol'), returns to Pandora, but not for a vacation—she's on a quest for a legendary treasure. She's not alone; joining her are diverse characters like Kevin Hart (Roland), Jamie Lee Curtis (Dr. Tannis), and Jack Black lending his voice to Claptrap.
What's striking is how they've nailed that iconic cel-shaded look of the game. Between bathroom jokes and robot explosions, the trailer gives us a glimpse of the action and humor in store. And with 'Do Ya' by Electric Light Orchestra in the background, I can't help but feel those 'Guardians' vibes.
Circle the date:
August 9th. Will 'Borderlands' be the new sci-fi sensation? With this crew, I'd bet on it.
