Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever) joins Avi Arad (Blade), Ari Arad (Ghost Rider), and Erik Feig (Wrong Turn) on the film. Pitchford and Take-Two Interactive Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick will executive produce.
Following the news, Roth posted an update on Twitter and Instagram, saying that he is so excited to be a part of the Borderlands family, and that he can’t wait to see everyone on Pandora.
In another later statement, Roth said the ambitious project comes at a good place in his career and that his relationship with Lionsgate is the perfect scenario to help bring the film to fruition.
The Borderlands movie was first announced in 2015, but it has been in a sort of limbo ever since. The latest game in the FPS RPG franchise was Borderlands 3, which released in September 2019.
We mostly enjoyed the game, calling it “one of the best looter-shooter experiences on the market today. No other game can boast the amount of loot, nor the satisfaction of acquiring it all.”
