Eli Roth's 'Borderlands' Film Features Comic-Con Trailer, Star-Studded Cast, and Decade-Long Journey to Adapt Game

The upcoming film adaptation of the popular video game franchise 'Borderlands' is generating excitement as it features a star-studded cast and is directed by Eli Roth. The film has been a decade-long project, with Roth describing it as a blend of the 'insanity' found in classic films like 'Escape from New York' and 'The Fifth Element.' The characters from the game, including Lilith and Roland, have been adapted for the big screen, and the film's first trailer, showcased at Comic-Con, has drawn comparisons to a crossover between 'Mad Max' and 'Ancient Aliens.' Entertainment Weekly has dedicated its latest cover story to the film, highlighting the characters and the journey to bring the franchise to cinema.
