This is about BL1, Roland is still alive... so it can not be after BL2, let alone after BL3.
Tina at this point is not even 13 yet.... yes 13. That was her official age in BL2.
Body, eh kinda not
Can't be really, Tina is not 13, she is somewhere in her mid 20's or so
But i mean the story could be something totally alt.
Hard to say
Honestly, i sort of doubt it, at least not a literal adaptation.
Can not say anything for sure obviously without seeing the movie
It give the impression of a movie *based* on the Borderlands Universe
off in some alternate future time line or something.
Heh maybe Roland got stuck on some Hyperion cryo/stasis thingy
and someone fixed him LoL, some crap from the zombie island LOL
And Colleens voice would be great, so would the girl who originally voiced Tina
But i don't think she would do well in the action scenes?
No one is asking the important question though
What are the loot drops like?
Anyways some people are just totally stupid, dont like the movie, dont watch it move on
rather than having it live rent free in your head.
Makes more sense than hoping people die, or their children die or they become bankrupt
or horribly injured etc.
Should see some of the off steam discussions.
More worrying than a badly made movie.
There are guns that are taller then Kevin Hart... (great actor perhaps, but imposing he is not)
There is some shrinkage during resurrection, it's a known side effect
i guess people would watch the movie either hoping for at least decent acting and stories, or just for stupid fun, or just to review it for their jobs or hobbies. ideally the movie should have been able to at least somewhat appease all the watcher categories above while trying to stay true to the franchise's original borderlands spirit.
but the strange choice of casting and really convoluted development hell cycle distracts and confuse everyone just as the official trailer was released. not a good first impression.
but eh. whatever. i'll just stick to making my own borderlands headcanon like so many borderlands fans that were really disappointed with the story direction the franchise has gone after b2 era.
So yeah, another dilusional excecutive dreaming of reaching the success of the MCU, which is not a success any more. I don´t understand why movie excecutives or anyone like Andy chasing a franchise of their own don´t realise that after Infinity War it´s done. People are tired of cinematic universe attempts, we are tired of multiverses, or sagas or anything... people just want movies to be back to be at least acceptable and entertain you for 2 hours, nobody is asking for 3 hours sh*t fests that only exist to boost the next part of the "M&M and cinematic universe alternative reality where there´s a post-credit scene promising a crossover with the transformers and beverly hills cop"..
Enh ... sure, she looks like an ordinary person, but hey, if they can make Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Douglas look like they're in their 30's again, then they could CGI Colleen Clinkenbeard to look a bit more like an "action hero" too.
And even if they couldn't... I'd still rather see her do the role.
(Not that my opinion is going to carry any weight there of course, that die is already cast).
I don't think Tina's apparent age means much. She's one of the support roles. I think they just decided that having her actually be 13 would be a leetttle too creepy. As someone else said (might have been RadioWaveHero?) I think the executives saw people cosplaying as Tina at conventions and said "Oh! Stick in that character, she's popular!"
I think it's pretty pointless to try to actually fit it into the timeline of the games, but if we're actually going to use game canon to try to analyze it, do bear in mind, Roland died when Tina was 13. There's no way a 20-something year old Tina and Roland would be in the same story if we're actually looking at what the games said.
Heh... fair point. Don't think they'll get into that though.
I'm sure Randy still owns some Gearbox stock, but do bear in mind, he's not in charge anymore. They're currently owned by the Embracer Group (who actually bought the company just for these movie rights).
The actual producer is Avi Arad, who was actually one of the key producers for a lot of the Marvel movies (including some of the MCU ones).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avi_Arad
I´ve seen people saying this a lot, and I´m afraid it´s a little bit of miswording.
Avi Arad had all the power and Kevin Feige´s job during Raimi´s Spiderman, Synger´s X-men, Blade and everything Sony and Fox prior to Disney. But his involvement in the MCU proper (Iron Man and the very early "indie" ones, the Disney ones and so forth) was extremelly limited from the go, and Kevin Feige did not liked Arad and was constantly asking for him to be removed. The only movies from the MCU he has any involvement are the Sony Tom Hololand´s spiderman and the first Iron Man, and not as excecutive Producer, just regular Producer, meaning he earned money from those movies, but had no voice in the creative process.
His involvement in the MCU was not "key", it´s actually quite insignificant and irrelevant, as it´s his relationships this days with Marvel. Kevin Feige doesn´t like him, Joe Quesada doesn´t like him, Disney CEO doesn´t like him, and there are many many many interviews over the years with directors, Marvel artists and what not claiming precisely that, that Ari used to say he was responsible for every Marvel movie when in reality that´s just a falacy. He was a key excecutive producer and producer for all Marvel adaptation from the 80s to the early 00s, but that´s it, his mayor contribution to Marvel was during the animation explosion of the 90s, in those indeed he was trully key.
If they picked Tina by popularity, it would be the homicidal 13 year old with the infectious hook lines.
Which is not as remotely creepy as a whole lot of other big films.
Nothing really creepy at all about Tina, just dont piss the kid off LoL.
I do not think the movie is intended to be game cannon at all though.
movie adaptation sucks? BECAUSE ITS MULTIVERSES
heroes and villains swapping roles? BECAUSE ITS MULTIVERSES
character race swapping and genderbending? BECAUSE ITS MULTIVERSES
favorite character dies and suddenly being replaced by weird clones of them in the story?BECAUSE ITS MULTIVERSES
in multiverses stories, theres a lot of room for lazy and inconsistent writing. making it seems like what the characters and their stories are doing being ultimately pointless in the end because the writers can just pull random ♥♥♥♥♥ from THE MULTIVERSES to deus ex machina'd the problems, duct-tape the plot holes or force insert your typical social politics agenda requests from the sponsors conveniently without much effort.
its very rare that writers will do much effort and brainstorming to make consistent multiverses time travel stories with intriguing characters and alternate versions of themself. i think multiverses concept could have its place in lulzy spinoff semi-non canon iterations... but it would be really confusing and inconsistent if its placed in the mainline canon series unless the series itself already established & focused itself on multiverses+time traveling concept from the start.
