Lionsgate is Working on a Borderlands Movie, "Probably Going to Be Rated R"
Gearbox Software have revealed their partnership with Lionsgate Entertainment to bring forth a Borderlands movie which will stay true to the series' "in-your-face" attitude.
Gearbox President Randy Pitchford has already begun discussing the project during a PAX Prime panel, along with a projected rating. "Lionsgate really seems to get Borderlands, and we're giving a mission to them, to make the first good movie based on a video game. And knowing Borderlands, it's probably going to be rated R."
Likewise, Lionsgate's President for Games - Peter Levin - spoke on how the company would make good use of Borderlands which has been "graciously shared" by Gearbox. Levin said, "We're so humbled to be able to work with Borderlands. It's an important property, and we're going to make sure we carry through."
Currently, details about the film are limited but heading the creative team at Lionsgate are Avi and Ari Arand whom have worked on Iron Man, The Amazing Spiderman, Ghost Rider, and Blade.
