They got divorced...but perhaps that would work out really well in terms of her playing Moxxie.

btw the whole Handsome Jack character made me want to track down the writer and punch him in the brain.. voice actor didnt help at either

EVERYTHING with Borderlands 2 made me want to slaughter the writer whenever the shooting stopped. I'm still amazed at what this franchise became after being built on some of the strongest co-op gameplay out there. Maybe it's because I played it on a console / couch situation and had an easier chance to enjoy that possibility. Surviving a tough boss battle with your friends a few feet away and hollering the whole time before overcoming the challenge is something that neither a voice in a headset nor creative writing / scripting can ever replicate.

I don't figure it'll be SMB bad, but I'm expecting somewhere between Double Dragon and Doom. Maybe if we're lucky it'll be on par with Tank Girl.

I always thought Bounty Killer pretty much nailed Borderlands feel already.

Find a way to get Rodriguez or Tarantino to direct/write it.

That would be entertainment right there. I don't know if it would actually be good but I am laughing just thinking about the possibilities.

I don't really see this working out too well, especially if it's live action.

All they need to do is make it Mad Max: Fury Road only with vault hunters and job done. They won't though, they'll fuck it up and use horrific amounts of CGI and horrible dialogue.

I'd rather the movie be something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXoeT0W1waA rather than a live action with CGI.
To be honest though, I'd rather see more Codehunters than a Borderlands movie, lol.

The idea of a Boarderlands movie seems like a goofier, ultraviolent version of Firefly.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Firefly meets Guardians of the Galaxy.

It won't be easy to get right, but it can definitely be done. And I'm all for it.

I could see them doing live action with a lot of CGI to layer the signature art style on top of everything. Then it'd be pretty easy to pull off some of the more bizarre characters and settings. I wonder if they'll have voice talent from the games involved? There's no way they'll change Claptrap, right?

Don't even need to CGI the actors much. Look at the incredible Borderlands cosplay from numerous cons. Some decent makeup and people look incredibly cartoony no CGI needed.

I'm 50/50 on this one. I like Borderlands lot. (Claptrap is all my notification sounds on my phone) BUT, I can see this going horribly, horribly wrong. Like, Mario Brothers, Bob Hoskins wrong. The Tales From the Borderlands proves this setting can work outside of a shooter, but...

Live action with cell shade!

borderlands dialog is painfully bad.. with all the schticks and the cliches and the "OH NO YOU DI INT!!" type "relevant" slang...

its funny because i think kids these days actually truly worship (what they themselves call) "douchebags"... (which is an insult where im still trying to understand how it made it so far mainstream.. when i was growing up only toddlers and tiny children used it.. it was immature as fuck, same as when they say "oh thats gay" and all that)

anyways, the kids worship douchebags - they aspire to be like them, they want to give them blowjobs all day

so yeh, make your movie, make your money, etc.

Well you were dumb for even playing and knowing about all this stupid shit you talk about then. I myself got it, like I also can get adult cartoons.

Go for it.

The funny dialog and silly plots have become the strength to the series otherwise boring and repetitive gameplay.

I can't really imagine Borderlands without Anthony Burch writing it.
