As a gamer, I can say for certain that most gamers were not looking for a Borderlands movie to be made. There are SO many better games that could have a movie made out of them. An RPG stuck on rails is not going to surprise or delight anybody.
Honestly I think that a well made Borderlands movie would be hugely entertaining. I mostly had issue with a lot of the creative choices.
I would agree. I'd personally love to see an animated series using the games art style. Either one could be done so well if the studios would stop making all their movies basically the same using actors who really don't have the energy needed for the rolls.
A far cry movie ovwr throwing a dictator would be fire ngl
There was a director a while back, Uwe Boll, who managed to get the rights to several video games and made bad films out of all of them.
One of them was Far Cry, being that old, it's based on the first game.
Uwe suck my Bolls, a fraud who did shitty movies on purpose in order to abuse German tax law loopholes that allowed for legal tax evasion
I'm surprised he managed to get hold of so many video game licences. All the films were awful.
Wow. I mean like a proper mainstream film. The budget on this one is 30 mill according to tmdb, idk if that's true.
I'm really looking forward to the adaptation of Space Invaders. I don't see what could go wrong.
