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.
The Borderlands Movie Trailer Is Finally Here, at Last

Today, Lionsgate has released the official trailer for the Borderlands movie. Originally announced four years ago when the COVID pandemic was about to explode, the film adaptation of Gearbox's first-person shooter franchise has had its fair of troubles getting to theaters.
Last year, Deadline revealed it had been handed from director and writer Eli Roth to Tim Miller because it needed two weeks of reshoots. It's hard to say whether any of that work appeared in the trailer; however, this promotional footage certainly seems to capture the craziness of the Borderlands IP. Here's the official synopsis:
Related Story Borderlands Movie to Debut on August 9th, 2024 in Theaters
Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Ramírez), the universe’s most powerful S.O.B. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits – Roland (Hart), a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound protector; Tannis (Curtis), the oddball scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap (Black), a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.
The Borderlands movie features a fairly high-profile cast:
- Cate Blanchett as Lilith
- Kevin Hart as Roland
- Jack Black as Claptrap
- Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Patricia Tannis
- Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina
- Florian Munteanu as Krieg
- Haley Bennett
- Édgar Ramírez as Atlas
- Bobby Lee as Larry
- Olivier Richters as Krom
- Janina Gavankar as Commander Knoxx
- Gina Gershon as Mad Moxxi
A previous Deadline report suggested a debut scheduled for August 9, but Lionsgate still only said it's 'coming soon' in this trailer. That'd be one week before Alien: Romulus and around three weeks before Kraven the Hunter.

Is Handsome Jack in the ‘Borderlands’ movie?
As with all video game adaptations, there has been some heated discourse surrounding the Borderlands film. Directed by horror icon, Eli Roth, the film struggled through development before finally being slated for release in 2024. Borderlands is based on the widely popular sci-fi first-person shooter of the same name and is admittedly not the easiest property to adapt. The first game is largely considered the weakest, with only a general overarching plot and no emotional character arc. Borderlands 2 is an entirely different matter, and that has a lot to do with the villainy of charismatic dictator, Handsome Jack.

Which ‘Borderlands’ characters appear in the movie?
Right off the bat, it should be clear that Borderlands is not an easy game to adapt. The video game series takes place in the colorful world of Pandora, where you play one of a few vault hunters looking for a rumored treasure. Unlike Max’s best new show of 2023, The Last of Us, there is not a clear emotional throughline to follow. In the first game, players can choose from several different characters who rarely interact with anyone they’re not shooting at. Borderlands 2 is where the franchise hits its stride as you fight a malicious — if hilarious — dictator.
