Filming of the Borderlands film started early in 2021, with Hungary standing in for the junkyard wasteworld of Pandora. Check screenings (opens in new tab) have been held in November of 2022, and apparently the response impressed some adjustments to be made, as Deadline (opens in new tab) experiences that it is going again for reshoots with a distinct director in cost.
Whereas gore-lover Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel) dealt with major taking pictures, Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Darkish Destiny) has taken over for the reshoots, which is able to take two weeks. Deadline experiences that it is an amicable handover, made mandatory by Roth beginning work on his subsequent venture, a horror film referred to as Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving relies on one of many faux film trailers that aired as a part of Grindhouse, the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino collaboration from 2007 combining their films Planet Terror and Demise Proof right into a double characteristic full with mock commercials for a string of different films in the identical type. These joke trailers proved so widespread that Thanksgiving is the third of them to be remodeled into an actual film, following Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun.
Borderlands will star Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Jamie Lee Curtis as Patricia Tannis, Kevin Hart as Roland, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Gina Gershon as Moxxi, Florian Munteaunu as Krieg, and Jack Black as wisecracking robotic Claptrap, who all people loves and no one hates, not one bit. Apparently Penn Jillette from Penn and Teller has a cameo too.
Who is aware of how a lot of the story is being modified by these reshoots, however in response to a tacky plot synopsis from again when filming began, “These unlikely heroes should battle alien monsters and harmful bandits to search out and defend the lacking woman, who could maintain the important thing to unimaginable energy. The destiny of the universe could possibly be of their palms—however they’re going to be combating for one thing extra: one another.”
In 2022 we received two new Borderlands video games. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands reskinned the looter-shooter as a loving parody of tabletop RPGs and we thought it was fairly good. New Tales From the Borderlands tried to recapture the glory of Telltale’s Borderlands recreation and did not fairly succeed.
