Trailer For Borderlands: The Movie Now Live

Trailer For Borderlands: The Movie Now Live

, , 10

A Borderlands movie has been in the works for years, and we thought it might never happen, but we also thought the same about a Beetlejuice 2 and we’re getting both within 2024. The trailer for Borderlands: The Movie went live this morning after a few teaser photos were sent out yesterday. Here’s what such a thing looks like: Cate Blanchett leads the charge as brightly redheaded treasure hunter Lilith, who’s after a legendary bounty on the barbaric planet Pandora. She assembles a gang that includes Roland (Kevin Hart), Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt). A smart-mouthed robot, Claptrap (Jack Black) says he can guide them to the treasure’s location, but calamities ensue. Comparisons between the feel of this movie and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy are plentiful, and we doubt the similarity is a coincidence. While some characters feel the same in this trailer, others are totally different. Tiny Tina isn’t really TINY enough. There are probably reasons why we can’t have a rampaging, swearing 5-year-old

Cate Blanchett Confirmed As Lilith In Borderlands Movie

Cate Blanchett Confirmed As Lilith In Borderlands Movie

Rumors were spreading last month that actress Cate Blanchett was in talks to star in an upcoming movie based on the Borderlands series. Now we know it’s true…the studio developing the film, Lionsgate, confirmed the casting today. Developed by Gearbox Software, Borderlands is a series of loot shooters with RPG elements and a sophomoric sense of humor. The series has gone through three main games, plus spinoffs like Telltale’s “Tales From The Borderlands.” Blanchett’s character, Lilith, is a powerful psychic referred to as a “Siren” in the Borderlands universe, who leads a group of resistance fighters called the Crimson Raiders. The Borderlands movie will be directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Death Wish) based on a script written by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, The Hangover Part 2 and 3). “I’m so lucky to have the amazing Cate Blanchett starring in Borderlands,” says Roth. “We had the most incredible collaboration together on The House with a Clock in Its Walls, and I believe there’s nothing she can’t do. From drama to comedy and

Borderlands 2 Guide: Finding Michael Mamaril

Borderlands 2 Guide: Finding Michael Mamaril

, , , 0

Borderlands 2 was, and still is, an amazing game. The sequel to the surprise hit from Gearbox brought a lot of new players to the world of Pandora, and it’s a world that is filled with life, action, and Easter Eggs. But, one of the most interesting Easter Eggs in the game is an NPC called Michael Mamaril. You likely won’t know his name (barring you hearing it from other Borderlands 2 players), but his story is touching. Basically, there was a young man named Michael Mamaril, he and his friends loved playing Borderlands, and so when Michael died at the age of 22, a friend asked Gearbox for a eulogy done by a Borderlands character. But, they decided to up the ante as it were and not just do the Eulogy, but make Michael a part of the game itself. A truly stirring tribute from a company to a sadly departed gamer. So, game over, right? Wrong! Because Gearbox was smart and realized that this NPC could be a truly ultimate

Borderlands Movie Gets Screenwriter and Producer

Borderlands Movie Gets Screenwriter and Producer

The Borderlands movie that Lionsgate took on last year finally has a screenwriter and a producer. Aaron Berg, who was responsible for creating the script for Section 6, will be tasked with writing duties on the R-rated movie. Meanwhile, Arad Productions will take on the producing role, giving the movie the backing of people who have worked on films such as Iron Man, The Amazing Spider-Man and Ghost Rider. Borderlands first hit store shelves in October 2009. It has since become something of a fan favorite despite less-than-stellar reviews and Gearbox Software’s biggest success to date. The action role-playing games see players exploring locations such as Pandora as they seek to prevent the release of deadly weapons or other disasters. The gameplay largely revolves around the looting of weapons and gear, though had a rather tepid plot that wouldn’t seem to easily lend itself to a movie adaptation. However, the setting and host of memorable characters may be what has made a film version an interesting concept. While movies based

The titles that will become available to download for free in March for anyone with an active Xbox Live Gold subscription have been revealed. While they haven’t been officially announced through Major Nelson as is normal, a promotional image for the Spanish Xbox site has leaked the information a few days early.

The Sherlock Holmes title is an adventure game that was released in 2014 across multiple platforms and tasks players with solving a series of crimes while in control of the infamous detective.

Those with an Xbox 360 will also be able to get two additional games in the form of Borderlands and Supreme Commander 2. Both will be backwards compatible on the Xbox One, meaning those with the newer console will effectively be getting four free games throughout March.

In a somewhat shocking twist, Take-Two has announced that Borderlands Online, which was set to be a free-to-play online shooter to come out this year in China (not unlike Call of Duty Online) has been cancelled. And, 2K China, the developer of the game, has been shut down as well. Venture Beat broke the story, and a spokesman from Take-Two stated the following: “We are excited about the opportunities to expand our business in Asia, and we remain committed to delivering triple-A offerings for that region. At this time, we can confirm that we are closing 2K China. We determined that the additional time required to finish current projects at the studio, particularly Borderlands Online, would not yield a favorable return on investment.” The spokesman added, “We are working with affected staff to identify other opportunities within the company where possible. The costs associated with the closure will not materially impact the company’s financial results. This decision does not affect our team behind NBA 2K Online, which has been and

Sad news gaming fans, beloved game developing studio 2K Australia is closing its doors. The studio was once a part of Irrational Games, and helped make the Bioshock series what it was. Then, it became its own entity, and helped make the wildly popular Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, now though, a full closing of the studio is taking place. As 2K itself confirmed: “We can confirm we have taken steps to begin the studio closure process for 2K Australia in order to better manage ongoing development costs while improving the working proximity of our creative teams. We are very grateful for the team’s valuable contributions to numerous 2K projects, and are working with affected staff to explore reassignment opportunities where possible.” So why the closing after all the success? Well, we may truly never know the full reason, however, it’s been speculated that key departures on the team were the main factor. These departures were started when it was rumored that the studio would be moving to Melbourne sometime in the

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Gets a MAJOR Day One Patch

, , , , , , 0

This seems to be a common thread happening among games these days. By that I mean games releasing and then getting major “Day One” patches. The latest example of this is Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. The compilation DLC has two big patches, one for PS4, and one for Xbox One. The PS4 patch is 8.3 GB large, while the Xbox One patch is 16 GB large. So, what’s the reason for all this? Well, the latest part of the DLC, the Pre-Sequel’s Claptastic Voyage, only game out recently to gamers. That caused problems when compiling it all together, thus, the very large patches to the game. Don’t think that’s all that happened though, obviously there was time and care put in to make sure bugs and glitches were fixed as well. No doubt some of those took up memory space on the patch as well. “For The Handsome Collection, a large day-one update will be available giving access to Claptastic Voyage and Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2. This update

Coming up in Gaming looks at the games that will be releasing in March across all the available platforms as well as examining which titles will be made free for download on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus. Following the relative slow months of January and February, the coming month has kicked back into overdrive with a collection of high profile releases hitting store shelves. Big Releases   Arguably the biggest release in March comes in the form of Battlefield Hardline, EA’s latest entry in their hit first-person shooter franchise. Unlike other games in the franchise, Battlefield Hardline does not focus on competing armed forces battling against each other but instead puts the emphasis on the war on crime. With a variety of cops versus robbers game modes, players will be able to play as both factions in a far more urban setting in game modes made especially for the new setting. While it was set to release last year, EA delayed the game in response to early feedback and
