However, what was more surprising was as time proceeded, the directors, actors, and the rest of the production was slowly revealed. As said above, Eli Roth is going to direct the film adaptation of the video game series. Before this, Eli has directed some really good movies like “Death Wish”, “The House with a Clock in Its Wall”, and “The Green Inferno”. But, most of his works included horror movies which caught everyone by surprise. Nevertheless, looking at the larger picture, Eli does have good experience with violent aspects which will help him in directing the movie. Many other famous creatives are working on this project. Craig Mazin has written the script and is behind the screenplay as well. Prior to this project, Craig had worked on HBO’s show “The Last of Us”. Arad Productions, Lionsgate, and Picturestar are the production companies that are funding the project. From the point of view of the movie being adapted from the video game, Gearbox’s controversial founder Randy Pitchford and 2K’s CEO Strauss Zelnick are working together as the executive producers on the project. Now, let us have a look at the cast that will be giving voice to the various characters in the movie. It consists of some really famous and talented artists.

Jack Black as Claptrap (the annoyingly funny robot): Jack Black is an American actor, musician, and comedian.

What to expect from the movie “Borderlands”?
In May 2015, a media report came out that suggested the premise of the film as given below. Some horrifying alien creatures concealed deep under the surface of earth start appearing due to a nearby star’s gravitational pull. The people who survive start retreating to a vault. There are rumors that the vault mentioned consists of some advanced alien technology. However, years later i.e. in 2019, a new report came out. This report stated that the characters and plot of the film were roughly going to be similar to those from the games. Anyhow, now there is a rumor that the movie is going to follow the ‘legendary thief’ Lilith. She has to rescue Tiny Tina, the daughter of the CEO of Atlas Corporation. In this job, Claptrap, Tina’s bodyguard Krieg, and a group of vault hunters will join her.
