Borderlands Movie in the Works - News
by Craig S , posted on 28 August 2015 / 2,825 ViewsLionsgate is partnering up with Take-Two and Gearbox Software to produce a movie based on the Borderlands IP.
Producers Avi and Ari Arad (Iron Man, Spider Man, The Amazing Spider Man, X-Men, Ghost Rider) will head up the adaptation. No word yet on the rest of the crew or cast.
"We believe that we've brought together the right partners, the ideal creative team and the perfect property to launch a new motion picture tent-pole for a global audience," said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger. "Part of our strategy in entering the game space under Peter Levin has been to source new brands with built-in audiences that will translate into great films and television shows. The Borderlands games don't pull any punches, and we'll make the movie with the same in-your-face attitude that has made the series a blockbuster mega-franchise."
