We’re in a bit of a live-action video game adaptation golden age right now. Not every project is a hit, but there have been enough success stories that learning about a new film or TV show in the works doesn’t instantly fill fans with dread. The latest example of that growing trend is the live-action Borderlands movie, which we just got our first official looks at, thanks to People<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Going clockwise, starting from the top left, Ariana Greenblatt\u00a0is Tiny Tina<\/a>,\u00a0Florian Munteanu\u00a0is Krieg, Jamie Lee Curtis is Tannis<\/a>, Jack Black is the voice of Claptrap<\/a>, Kevin Hart is Roland<\/a>, and Cate Blanchett takes the lead role as Lilith<\/a>. You can see a head-on image of her character below.<\/p>\n

This film has been in the works for a while now, but outside of these images, there’s not much new information. If you haven’t seen it yet (or just need a refresher, since it’s been over two years), here’s the official synopsis from a 2021 press release<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe\u2019s most powerful S.O.B., Atlas (Ramirez). Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team \u2013 Roland (Hart), a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina\u2019s musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Curtis), the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap (Black), a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe could be in their hands \u2013 but they\u2019ll be fighting for something more: each other. <\/p>\n

IGN<\/em><\/a> also shared the movie’s first official poster.<\/p>\n
