10 Most Anticipated Sci-fi Movies Of 2024
4. Borderlands
Release Date: August 9
Long gone are the days when a video game adaptation meant something disjointed and sluggish and almost certainly bargain bin material, and so hopes are high for Borderlands. With a stellar cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Jack Black and Jamie Lee Curtis, and the right aesthetic setting it on the right foot, things are looking promising - despite an odd choice of director in Hostel/Thanksgiving's Eli Roth.
While the president of game developer Gearbox has stated the Borderlands movie won't be set in the video game universe, details about the film released so far confirm that its plot won't be a million miles away from the story we know, and will thankfully remain true to the characters we love.
