One of those unique first-person shooter games, Borderlands, stays in your memory long after you’ve finished playing it. The action-packed plot and eccentric cast of characters in Borderlands have kept many of us fascinated for years. The legendary game promised that it would someday be adapted for the big screen with a movie featuring numerous well-known actors, including Jack Black and Kevin Hart, but no release date has been given. However, after months of rumours, we finally know that the film will debut in theatres the following year.
The Borderlands film has now been given a release date of Friday, August 9, 2024. That means that in just one year, we will get to see Jack Black take on the role of snarky robot Claptrap. We will also watch Kevin Hart star as Roland, Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Krieg, Gina Gershon as Moxxi, Bobby Lee as Larry, and Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis. The list of well-known celebrities acting in the film goes on, with these just being some character highlights.
When it comes to video game movies, everyone feels a bit differently. Some people love the idea of their favorite characters making it to the cinema while others dread the possibility of the film flopping. Borderlands has a solid cast lined up for itself, though, and I’m personally very excited to see where they take the witty humor we all know and love from the classic RPG. Thankfully, 2024 isn’t too far off.
