Jack Black

The Borderlands feature film will release on August 9, 2024.

A new video has been released for Minecraft's 15th anniversary starring both Jason Momoa and Jack Black, both of whom are wielding what appear to be props from the upcoming movie.

fans are in for a treat because publisher Take-Two has no plans on slowing down the franchise; in fact, players should expect to see even more Vault Hunters in the future. The long-running action RPG is widely regarded as one of Take-Two's biggest series, with developer Gearbox earning plenty of praise designing a shooter that's endless replayable, addictive, and oozing style. The studio has confirmed that it's already working hard on the upcoming fourth mainline game, but that doesn't mean the community can't also look forward to some exciting spin-offs.

Fans of the Borderlands franchise are getting another look at the upcoming live-action film with a new official poster, featuring a colorful cast of familiar characters. Since the first trailer for the Borderlands movie dropped back in March, announcements for the project have been quiet, but this latest glimpse at the cinematic video game adaptation is looking to reignite fan hype once more.

It seems that the famous actor Jack Black has confirmed he is playing Steve in the Minecraft movie while also not confirming at all that he is at the same time. In a recent social media post, he shares him singing about a rainbow, which is a hint to another internet classic according to GameSpot.

Borderlands star Ariana Greenblatt says her Tiny Tina was inspired by Margot Robbie portrayal of Harley Quinn.

Greetings, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

Video game adaptations are on a hot streak. Films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 were massive box office hits, while series like The Last Of Us and Halo have made for stellar TV shows.

While it’s true that the video game adaptation “Renaissance” is currently going on, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t films or TV series coming out based on games that fans aren’t nervous about. One such film that fans aren’t sure about is theBorderlands film. First off, the movie has had a rather tumultuous journey to theaters, including at one point being done for a long time, but no word coming out about whether it would be released or not. Then, when the trailer dropped, it wasn’t exactly what fans expected. However, if there was one “shining spot” within it, that would be Claptrap, played by the one and only Jack Black.

A new film set in The Super Mario Bros. Movie universe has been announced. Described as “a new animated film based on the world of Super Mario Bros.,” it is unclear if it will be a direct sequel or a spin-off of the highly successful 2023 movie starring Chris Pratt and Jack Black. However, we do know it will be released on April 3, 2026, and that Illumination is once again the studio behind the animation. The end credits of the 2023 film teased Yoshi, so that could be the direction it is going.

Despite tumult at developer Gearbox, the studio wants fans to know that isn't in any trouble. Since being acquired by parent company Embracer in 2021, many fans of the long-running shooter role-playing game have expressed concern regarding the state of the project. Now, after reports suggest that Gearbox will soon be sold to a new parent company, employees make it clear that the work on the franchise is progressing steadily.

By her own admission, Minecraft’s Danielle Brooks may not be any good at the game, but The Color Purple actor sure has high hopes for the movie adaptation.

Gearbox's founder has seemingly teased an unannounced Borderlands game, and some fans think a reveal is right around the corner.

We live in an interesting place right now concerning not just video games but video game adaptations. Between fair to amazing adaptations featuring characters from Nintendo, SEGA, Naughty Dog, and even The Pokemon Company, gamers are excited to see their favorite franchises brought to the silver or big screen. Why? Because it seems like now more than ever, they are trying to put effort into them and make them feel, at least in part if not in whole, like their video game counterparts. That brings us to the Borderlands Movie. This piece of film has been in the works for a while, and many wondered if it would ever come out.

Lionsgate Films released the first Borderlands trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Gearbox Software’s popular video game franchise. It is set to be released in theaters on August 9, 2024.

Almost three whole years after the movie wrapped filming, the first full trailer for Borderlands is here – and, rather unsurprisingly, it looks like a colorful, chaotic alien-filled riot. Think Mad Max: Fury Road meets Guardians of the Galaxy, but with more explosions and even more attitude...

Borderlands 4 may have been teased by Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford, who sent a tantalizing hint about what could be the next big project for the studio. Pitchford hinted at a mysterious endeavor that he believes could surpass anything Gearbox has done before, and fans are speculating about the long rumored Borderlands 4.

It’s been years since the Borderlands movie was first announced, and for most of that time, it felt like the film might never come out.

In an age of successful movies based on video game characters like Mario, Sonic, and Nathan Drake, it was perhaps inevitable that we would get a Minecraft movie starring Jack Black as unassuming player-insert Steve. The actor confirmed the casting on Instagram in a suitably silly style; the film is targeting a 2025 release.

Actor Jack Black has joined the cast of Warner Bros and Legendary's "Minecraft", a live-action movie based on the popular video game from the studio.

Castle Clash is getting a collaboration with the world’s unlikeliest martial arts expert this December. 

During the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Universal Pictures has debuted the first look at Dreamworks Animation’s highly-anticipated in the form of a massive Po balloon. The fourth installment to the Jack Black-led martial arts animated franchise is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 8, 2024.

Indie filmmakers are responsible for some of the greatest movies in cinematic history, but no independent auteur can whip up accessible, dynamic, generation-defining movies like Richard Linklater. His first film, Slacker, was just a peek into the possibilities of his creative and experimental dexterity, but it was enough to inspire fellow mumblecore maestro Kevin Smith to begin his directing career. Linklater made history with his 12-year film project Boyhood, and he’s set to do it again with Merrily We Roll Along — an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical that he intends to film over the course of the next 20 years. But while his ambition has always been fruitful and fascinating, his purest, most impactful work shows up in his more conventional subjects and stories — particularly School of Rock, arguably the most career-defining movie he’s ever made.

As 2023 draws to a close, it’s time once again for the Thankmas charity event, this year once again benefiting World Central Kitchen. Originally begun by Sean “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin, the event raises funds for a single organization over the course of several days in December. McLoughlin will hold a live event on December 2 in Los Angeles.

Despite being one of the cutest faces in the roster of characters, Yoshi has been almost neglected as of late, with Nintendo really underusing the iconic dinosaur in comparison to its other characters. This is especially true when it comes to the most modern media such as the and the upcoming Nintendo Switch game,. While Donkey Kong and Princess Peach enjoy the spotlight, Nintendo seems determined to send Yoshi to the shadows.

When the Super Mario Bros Movie was announced a few years back, no one could’ve predicted how things would’ve turned out. No one could’ve predicted that the movie would gross over a billion dollars at the global box office and become one of the biggest hits of 2023. No one could’ve predicted that a song called “Peaches” would take the world by storm. No one could’ve predicted that this may truly be the start of the “Nintendo Cinematic Universe,” and yet here we are. While most agree the movie wasn’t perfect, it clearly worked and got audiences to watch it over and over again.

If you were a kid who grew up around the turn of the millennium, chances are your initial introduction to horror was through one of three ways: Reading R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps children’s books and watching the television series that aired on Fox Kids, watching Are You Afraid of the Dark? on Nickelodeon, or staying up late to watch episodes of Tales from the Crypt on HBO.

The Super Mario Bros. movie is getting a 4K theatrical re-release later in Japan this year.
