The Borderlands Movie Is Seemingly Struggling To Sell Tickets
You're viewing a single thread.
They lost me the second they announced the cast. It's like the people making the movie never once opened up a single one of the games.
Kevin Hart as Roland is just infuriating. It shows they had no intention of treating the IP with any level of respect and they just wanted a campy action comedy with famous actors.
Who even likes Kevin Hart and goes to see a movie because of him. Been so confused about how he seems to be in everything, but don't know who likes him.
Seriously. I can see an interesting movie trailer but the instant Hart pops on screen I immediately lose all interest.
He is not funny in movies. HE HAS ONE CHARACTER THAT YELLS CONSTANTLY.
He’s a modern day Chris Tucker
I don't buy that... in no universe can I see him playing Ruby Rhod...
Exactly! Kevin he ain't got no fire, no energy, no nothing. Ya know we have a show to run here, right? So it must pop Pop POP! So the next time you want to cast Kevin would you PAH-LEASE go for Chris Tucker to make it green? mKay? It must be GREEN.
Now you used a lot of big words, and because I don't understand them imma take them as disrespect.
I heard it perfectly from a friend. It's because he's "inoffensive to old white people"
… Kevin Hart makes Wayne Brady look like Malcolm X
Exactly the same response to how they cast Roland in The Dark Tower. Apparently Roland is a cursed name now.
You mean Idris Elba isn't good casting for a character described as a "honky mufuh" with "bombardier blue" eyes?
I like watching Idris but he ain't no Roland Deschain.
The color of Idris Elba's skin and eyes had absolutely fuck all to do with why that movie was fucking awful.
I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.
Ha ha. The casting was the least of the movie's issues. I like watching Elba and I think Matthew McConaughey was phenomenal casting for the Man in Black.
Wow, yeah. I love most of the actors in the cast but hard agree that not a one of them probably even know the game. Weird casting choices for sure
