Borderlands Movie Hijacked by Old Ladies

[malificajones]

Lilith is officially 27 in Borderlands 1.
Kate Blanchet is 54.
WTF?!

This would have been a great opportunity to cast unknown actors. Starting with the first game and making a fun action packed trilogy.

My favorite mission in the Borderlands game was busting Tannis and Lilith out the nursing home so we could all go see Roland's stand up comedy act. 😂

So apparently the actress that claimed that younger actresses aren't getting jobs in Hollywood is correct? Cate is an incredible actress but this isn't a role that fits her.

*MADAME WEBB:* Older character played by young actress.

*BORDERLANDS:* Younger character played by older actress.

I am NOT surprised.

Lego did a study on how girls and boys play with toys and the results are kind of surprising when you put it into perspective.

What they discovered:

Boys envision themselves as the characters the toys represent. If its Spiderman, they pretend to be Spiderman and the entertainment consists of things that Spiderman would do, such as fight villians.

Girls repurpose toys to fit their own entertainment goals. If the toy is Spiderman, they change the character and force them to do things the character wouldn't normally do.

I thought this was very insightful considering the current state of our entertainment industry.

Lilith is 27 (gall with red hair) ... she is played by Cate Blanchett that at that time of filming was 51 (now she is 54) ... Dr.Tannis is 28, played by Jamie L. Curtis that was 63 when they filmed this ... Mad Moxxie 27... is played by Gina Gershon that was 58 when this was filmed ... like this is Granny Land

Im surprised that they didn't cast Joe Biden as Handsome Jack.

[GripChief]

Melanie Mac looks more like Lilith than Cate Blanchett. Cate is hot, but she's in her 50's, while Lilith is young and spunky.

[frederickhines]

Why is Kevin Hart playing Roland!?!? Roland was not a small guy!!! This whole thing is going to be a wreck!!!😂😂😂

[jray]

We got Granny Lilith and Great Granny Tannis

Also, BO1 and BO2 weren't only just funny, they knew when to be funny and when to take itself seriously.

Tinas supposed to be malnourished, she only eats crumpets 🤣

[kyteurisuke]

Its all about hollywood destroying what gamers love, much like most attempts.

Anita sarcheesean is LAUGHING

[Storms]

Not just any old lady: Ultra-woke Jamie Lee Curtis who never explained the painting of a child stuffed into a suitcase in her house. And they already told us that the show will focus on modern social issues.

[dragonhitman]

Tiny Tina is a tiny malnourished child with explosives for friends... that aint tiny Tina.

[CallMeMrChainmail]

Tiny Tina was literally a child in BL2 and she's mentally damaged because the only evidence she had that her parents were still alive was audio recordings of her father being tortured and her mother getting r***d by a guy called Fleshstick.
I know it's been a decade but I won't spoil it further.
People don't just love her because she's funny, her dissociation from reality is her way of coping with one of the most traumatic origin stories in Borderlands and slowly uncovering it was heartbreaking.
The voice acting was so good that just remembering how I felt the first time I heard the recordings casually playing in the background whilst shooting psychos and learning the truth about her family still hurts.
It's almost as much of a kick in the pants as Angel Beats.

[crimsonspade]

This really is disappointing. I've been wanting to see a borderlands movie and they just don't ever seem to grasp the concept of characters they portray

[jjc]

I loved Grumpy Old Men but I don’t think I’m gonna like Grumpy Old Women in Space.

Taken out of context, that quote is hilarious!
