What a shitty cast, its going to have that annoying comedic tone, but not like the game where it fit some characters, more the latest hollywood/disney type thats offensive
What's wrong with the casting? Nothing says the adaptation has to have the same ages or personalities or whatever. I feel some people have this bizarre idea that adaptations should have casts that look like source material. The source material is just a reference. Adaptations stand alone.
>lets have a 54 year old woman play a 27 year old woman >lets have a 5'2'' man play a tall, buff, seasoned military veteran >lets have a 65 year old woman play a 30 year old scientist
The only one whos age is even close is the one playing Tiny Tina. Seriously who the frick did the casting?
> I feel some people have this bizarre idea that adaptations should have casts that look like source material.
It would be at least something.
If you can't make a truly special adaptation at least try to make one closer to the source material.
Otherwise what else you got going for this movie?
I always got the impression that Moxxie was an old hag. And it's not like Pandora is fluffy coddled environment. People who spend time there are hardened and it shows.
Not on the cover, but if they want to movie to sell at all with the existing fanbase, they will put her in. They might make her some decrepit madame in prostitute makeup, but I really don't think there's a whole lot of space to complain about that. That's kind of what she is.
Shes in the movie. Gina Gershon is playing her. Haven't seen a recent picture of her, but its probably going to be old painted lady action
Just looked her up. Pic related is from 2019. From the looks of it, this is the least scuffed casting choice yet. She's older, which fits. But she's not hideous by any stretch. And I'll bet she can put a decent purr in her voice.
Turns out Bobby Lee is going to be in it, too. He's playing some new character named larry.
>Nothing says the adaptation has to have characters that are like the original characters. I feel some people have this bizarre idea that adaptations should adapt the source material.
If adaptations "stand alone" then you should just make your own original work. "Come see this continuation of that thing you loved which has none of what you loved" is just a bait and switch and no one is falling for it anymore.
that's definitely jack black front and centre
I can't wait for this awesome movie with all my heroes based on this story that's super awesome that was the total focus of the games
The games are okay as far as being a combination of ARPG and FPS. The stories are nothing special. Its basically Mad Max on an alien world. Kind of forgettable
I have, and will continue to, avoid this reddit shit, in both video game and tv form.
This franchise is absolute cringe and always has been. If you enjoy it you are a normie sheep.

O what fresh hell is this?
The aesthetic is good but instead of putting over some new young talent they decided to just use a bunch of old boomer stars,also kevin heart is clearly holding a nerf gun, feels like some YouTube original level production there.
I have no issues with Cate Blanchett because I find her very attractive and hot as a mommy, and she looks really good here like she did in Thor Ragnarok, that said I have only played a few minutes of one Borderlands game because I thought the gameplay was moronic
genuinely want to kill myself how do bad shows of this calibre keep getting made holy frick, like, they have to run out of money at some point right? they can't keep shitting out this bile forever right? right?
couldn't have picked a worse cast unless they also added Zendaya, Isabella Moner, and The Rock.
Kevin Hart is an instant non-watch until it hits TV and I put it on in the background.
These companies have too much money
What horrible crime did Cate Blanchett commit to end up having to be in this? She must have put a baby in a toaster oven or something and they're holding the evidence over her head.
Casting is shit. I like them but these roles are terrible choices for them. Hopefully whoever made Borderlands 2 funny also helped make this and then I think I can overlook the stupid, completely stupid, so fricking stupid casting.
I did see the first look clip and it does look like it will be a disaster of a movie. It was clearly someone high up's fan casting.
No one ever, even for a second wished for this to exist.
I don't mind that it exists. I mind that the two hot young women are played by 60yr old hags.
I did
>black and old white hags as protagonists
So it seems they are going all in on the diversity train huh
honestly, i was expecting worse
Are we boycotting this? Jamie Lee Curtis supports the genocide by Israel
They can all rot. I'll watch it on the high seas.
Lmao they tried boycotting that new Wonka movie and failed miserably
Most of its recoded profits were from over seas it made money but not a lot
I support the genocide by Israel. I also support the genocide OF Israel. Basically, from river to sea, glass the area from space.
What a strange collection of characters
What a shitty cast, its going to have that annoying comedic tone, but not like the game where it fit some characters, more the latest hollywood/disney type thats offensive
>Lilith
>54 year old actress
How can you frick up the casting that badly. Also where the frick is Mordecai and Brick?
thats what I said. it's nothing but old and tired actors. and they think this is going to sell?

this is why it'll fail, with casting directors like you
I always got the impression that Moxxie was an old hag. And it's not like Pandora is fluffy coddled environment. People who spend time there are hardened and it shows.
>Moxxie
is she in this movie?

Based. Nothing says the adaptation has to be GOOD either.
good bait, Black person
>Adaptations stand alone.
Ok, if it's a standalone thing I see no reason to see it then.
Expert trolling. Watch and learn children.
>get old ass actors to play epic spork xd flaming ebic poopoo roles
I'm sure it'll go great
that's definitely jack black front and centre
I can't wait for this awesome movie with all my heroes based on this story that's super awesome that was the total focus of the games
That will be just a shit version of guardians of the galaxy
Guardians was just a shit version of Farscape, so that's a frightening prospect.
Even the game is dogshit
The games are okay as far as being a combination of ARPG and FPS. The stories are nothing special. Its basically Mad Max on an alien world. Kind of forgettable
>The stories are nothing special
then you haven't played the third one
it's exceptionally bad
It's a series with (at best) 1-and-a-half good entries, man
>We want the Guardians of the Galaxy audience
If it doesn't have Ashly Burch as Tiny Tina, I don't want it.
It doesn't which is crazy because it would work so well as she is 5ft and has the crazy energy
Nobody has pointed out the obvious yet
>Jack Black as Clap Trap
I mean Jack Black is annoying, but not that particular kind of annoying. Another casting blunder
>old
>manlet
>goblina
>white man under mask
>old
great casting, dead to the white man of course
Thank you for recognizing Romanians as white
grim
>It looks dogshit
they stayed faithful to the game then
LMAO the granny with red hair!!
what about the granny with the bleached hair?
that's obviously a man
>cate blanchett is playing lilith
Lmao what the frick? I mean i love mommy cate but... She's too old for this character...
cate 30 years ago would've nailed it
>Krieg
>but no Maya
YOU HAD ONE JOB!
and I thought twisted metal is the worst
Hope it has le quirky reddit marvel humour XD
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OHMYGOD OHMYGOD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have, and will continue to, avoid this reddit shit, in both video game and tv form.

More suicide squad tier spencer’s gifts kind of shit that only mexicans partially enjoy
Cool, more slop I’ll never buy.
Go woke, go broke.
>from the producer of UNCHARTED, SPIDER-MAN and VENOM
how did he get so many video game adaptation contracts
Kek this is how desperate and pathetic Hollywood is
>drugstore only carries a handful of comics
>picked at random most likely by some boomer who is just filling an empty space
>one of your first sequential numbered comics is Silver Sable
>helps develop you as a young lad
>many years later
>dystopian communist hellhole

O what fresh hell is this?
>she's going to be black
>female
>and gay
you can atleast laugh at it
WE

This is going to be woke trash as frick and an embarrassing flop.
Um yeah, I want to see a an action movie with old boomer dykes as the stars.
I have no issues with Cate Blanchett because I find her very attractive and hot as a mommy, and she looks really good here like she did in Thor Ragnarok, that said I have only played a few minutes of one Borderlands game because I thought the gameplay was moronic
i guess the reddit crowd will love it
Everyone hates it.
even them?
why?
looks right up their alley honestly
ever since pickle rick, they became self conscious of their own cringe taste
it's too reddit, for reddit now
> Movie wrapped filming three years ago.
Not so much "released" now as "escaped".
>eli roth
so it's gonna be schlock
oh shit he's directing it? Incoming kino, I will be there day 1
genuinely want to kill myself how do bad shows of this calibre keep getting made holy frick, like, they have to run out of money at some point right? they can't keep shitting out this bile forever right? right?
it looks like a very shitty porn parody
>Gameplay > story: the franchise
>let's make a movie about it
Why?
The capeshit well ran dry, they're moving on to video games now. They'll take anything and run with it, including space Mad Max shootan gaem!!
lol
this guy unironically could've been a pretty good roland
he's now a gentlemanly gay big game hunter
couldn't have picked a worse cast unless they also added Zendaya, Isabella Moner, and The Rock.
Kevin Hart is an instant non-watch until it hits TV and I put it on in the background.
These companies have too much money
>no Mordecai
He was who I played when this came out. I don't think he was a white man so why is he excluded?
he's too white (hispanic)
>sniper dude with a cool killer bird
Too based for this slop. Also they're missing Brick
>Also they're missing Brick
Imagine how bad the casting would've been.
They probably would have just got Bautista and called it a day
What horrible crime did Cate Blanchett commit to end up having to be in this? She must have put a baby in a toaster oven or something and they're holding the evidence over her head.
Borderlands was shit to begin with, so it's true to form.
>General Knoxx
>Now played by a Indian Female
Casting is shit. I like them but these roles are terrible choices for them. Hopefully whoever made Borderlands 2 funny also helped make this and then I think I can overlook the stupid, completely stupid, so fricking stupid casting.
I did see the first look clip and it does look like it will be a disaster of a movie. It was clearly someone high up's fan casting.
Watching Hollywood in its death throes is fascinating.
Better than watching the actual slop
>kevin hart as roland
who the frick thought this would make a good casting choice?
No idea. When I think of Roland I think Wesley Snipes, not annoying pipsqueek Kevin Hart
the guy who played luke cage would've been a better choice
All the talk about AI-generated scripts, and yet Hollywood is completely bankrupt in the new ideas department.
>peak millennial writing vidya's adaptation brought to you by the woke modern day hollywood
Whoa, boy. It's going to be sooooooooooo bad.
