The Borderlands Movie Is Seemingly Struggling To Sell Tickets

...why is there a borderlands movie?
24 0 ReplyFair question. Also, why do I already know that Kevin Hart's character in this movie will be indistinguishable from Kevin Hart in any other movie?
18 0 ReplyIf Hart was willing to be Roland instead of Kevin Hart I'd consider it, but casting a comedian for the role is honestly kind of suspect regardless.
What, you don't think people would believe a serious black man as the team leader? What was the thinking here, exactly?

Probably because I didn't even realize this existed until just now. Same thing with the BioShock movie that I'm sure a lot of you only just now learned about because of this comment. If I knew it even existed or was even being made I'd be totally down to see it even if it's awful. That just sounds like a marketing failure to me.
23 1 ReplyI did hear that borderlands was being made into a movie but had no idea it was already out. And you are correct this is the first I am hearing about a BioShock movie. Marketing failures indeed.
17 0 ReplyDirecting failure it sounds like too. Who saw the fandom around borderlands and thought that that cast would hype the fans.
I like all the actresses and actors but they just seemed like a poor fit for the story.

Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis would have made this a maybe, but Kevin Hart as Roland?
Hard pass.

I realize Idris Elba can't play every role, but come on. He's literally a stoic yet handsome straight man.
