update they have charles babalola as "hammerlock" (didnt know hammerlock was black)

[Woofy]

Jamie Lee Curtis and Cate Blanchett are at least in their 60s. Not the action heroes I want to watch.

[qwertyuiop]

looks like complete slop, hate seeing what borderlands became after 2 and tps.

[Ghost]

Ariana Greenblatt (who's playing Tina) is 16 not 33.

@Woofy; Cate Blanchett will be 55, Jamie Lee Curtis 66.

The casting (for everyone) does seem pretty garbage though. While they might all be decent actors in their own right, none of them seem suitable for the characters.

Seems the only thing they got remotely right is the visuals. Have little hope for anything else.

[Doom Sayer]

I mean what is to be expected most movies, games and tv are garbage slop.

Cate Blanchette is hot though.

Roland is a tall, muscular, no-nonsense leader.

Kevin Hart is a short, muscular, all-nonsense comedian.

... this movie is going to bomb.

No doubt. I just hopes she moves better than Robert Deniro did in The IRISHMAN.

kevin hart is a comic roland is one of the most serious characters in the game

Man I laughed so hard the whole trailer. This movie is gonna be so bad. Think it is gonna be even worse then Borderlands 3 story. lol

[Casurin]

The teaser already looked bad but now ....
4 seconds till the first thing completely wrong.
And even the BACKGROUND-NPCs look better then the main cast.

That's the thing: he has always been darker-skinned but you basically never see him in normal lighting so it is kinda easy to miss.

Also cause before BL3 the NPCs had an actual backstory and character and there was no need to go with labels. he also was gay and nobody cared as that was just a part of his backstory and not "hello i am the black gay dude".

Oof. As a long time Scorcese fan, I feel that one in my core. One of the only parts of that movie I can even recall is Deniro with the shopkeeper. The image of an 80 year old Robert "beating up" a middle aged man on the street was just too hilarious, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief throughout the entire film.

As for BL3 - videogame to movie/tv transitions have virtually always sucked. The first one I ever saw was Mario Bros, and while I know that movie is a bit of a cult hit now, it was justifiably reamed back then. This BL3 movie looks about a thousand times worse.

I literally can't tell people I game anymore because I got tired of my social circle thinking I was into weird, goofy, tasteless trite with flimsy stories that only work in videogames to drive the gameplay forward. It's honestly embarrassing.

It's not just video game adaptations , books , anime , comics.

There were some exceptions like marvel MCU for awhile and game of thrones for a bit but over-all adaptations to movies or mini-series are almost always sh!t.

It's like because the story is already written they think they can get away with hiring some crappy writers , and those crappy writers have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove , so they try to rewrite the source material to "leave their mark" and they end up ruining it even more , or it's something that works in a game but not in a movie because of the difference in interaction.

The problems with casting are just in addition to all the other problems with adaptations.

They turned Piss Wash Gully into a literal thing just to make a piss joke, then also made a Claptrap ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke.. both in the same trailer.

Mad Moxxi is played by 61 year old Gina Gershon!
