Lionsgate studios, the guys behind the Hunger Games films are in search for a new franchise to bring to the big screen and they think they've found what they're looking for. The Production company are in talks with Gearbox studios, the developers of hit FPS RPG Borderlands.
The game Borderlands takes you to the land of Pandora, A planet as full of minerals and treasure as it is aliens and monsters. You play as one of 4 characters, treasure hunting for the lands most glorious loot heading on quests and mission to get just that. The game is jam-packed with dirty, crude and damn right hilarious jokes and humour that will create an interesting challenge for Lionsgate to portray into the film.
Co-chairs, Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger have already stated "The Borderlands games don't pull any punches, and we'll make the movie with the same in-your-face attitude that has made the series a blockbuster mega-franchise" which gives me hope they can break this bad name of Video game movie adaptations. With the recent Pixels and Hitman Agent 47 films stinking out the box office, it will be nice to see a video game movie smash the charts and show the people that video games done correctly, CAN be made into movies.
"Lionsgate really seems to get Borderlands and we're giving a mission to them, to make the first good movie based on a video game, and knowing Borderlands, its probably going to be rated R." said Gearbox's Randy Pitchford in an interview. To be honest I really hope he's right with the R rating as Borderlands is known for its gore and dirty jokes and to make it any other way would be destroying its name. No news as of yet if they'll be going down the road of Borderlands 1 or 2 but in all honesty, ether one will bring an amazing outcome. I personally am wishing for a Mad-Max style wasteland adventure following the cast of the 2nd game.
The film is still in VERY early development and has no scheduled time line for release subscribe to the blog or 3NERDY5ME on Twitter to stay posted with all the latest gaming and movie news.
It is the top site where we have seen a ton of sort's most recent computer games and a few motion pictures recreations. Borderlands Movie in the Pipelines is one the top session of the year and I continue playing this amusement at whatever point I get free and getting to much exhaust. Tanks for sharing.
