I'm always hesitant when literature I love is made into a movie. But a video game? I am so F'ing excited for this.

Just please do it right.

I am not sure how one does a Borderlands movie "right".

Will it be about the Hyperion corporation and Handsome Jack? Or will it just be a more pure action based hunt for an alien trasure vault? I would certainly prefer the later. Less story, more bang bang.

Maybe "right" isn't the correct word.

Please don't make it a cluster fuck video game movie like so many others.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

as long as it has claptrap in it, it can't go wrong...

or at least clap trap scenes would still own.

God I hope they don't fuck up clap trap :p

Seriously, I don't care if they go the Hyperion route or just all out murderkill for the sake of murderkill - as long as:

  • Claptrap is in it
  • Claptrap is awesome
  • They don't ruin Claptrap


Then I'll be on board! :p

Lets not forget about MR TORGUE 'EXPLOSIONSSSSSS!!!!!'

For me, I think that the second game had more story to it that the first so that would be a good one to do the movie on. Or even the Pre Sequel. However it has been quite a long time since I played Borderlands 1 that I can't quite remember the 'story'

Plus 2 has Mr Torgue, don't remember him in 1 lol

SO MUCH POTENTIAL... I'm building it up in my mind so much I'm almost certainly going to be let down :p
