After a long wait, the first look at the live-action adaptation of Borderlands is here and yeah, it sure does look like a film with Borderlands characters in it.
If it sounds like I’m being sarcastic, I mostly am, as there People has offered a first look at the upcoming adaptation, it’s just not much of one. A couple of images were released, the main one being a shot of the entire cast looking down a hole of some kind. That cast includes Cate Blanchett in the lead role, Lilith, a red-haired Siren fugitive that’s returning to her home planet in order to search for the missing daughter of Atlas (who’s played by Édgar Ramírez). She’s joined by Kevin Hart as former soldier Roland, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Tina’s bodyguard Krieg, Jamie Lee Curtis as scientist Tannis, and Bowser himself, Jack Black, as the fairly iconic robot Claptrap.
A second image of just Blanchett as Lilith was also shown but again, other than a smokey-eyed glare, I’m not really getting much from these photos right now. At the moment it’s just giving an expensive cosplay kind of vibe, but I’m sure seeing them in motion will make it start to feel like it’s an actual film.
