The film Borderlands will be shot in Budapest -apkrig

The film adaptation of the game series Borderlands from Gearbox will soon start filming. Adam Goodman, head of MidAtlantic Films, revealed this in an interview with Hollywood Reporter. This is a company that will participate in the production of Borderlands in Hungary. The Hollywood adaptation was first announced in 2015, but its pre-production did not start in full until the beginning of last year, when Eli Roth took over the direction. He is signed under films like Hostel or Dangerous Temptation.

The screenplay was written by Craig Mazin and Aaron Berg. Although Craig Mazin started with the comedy series Scary Movie, he became famous for his screenplay for the successful series Chernobyl. The main star of the film will be Cate Blanchett as Lilith, who will be followed by Kevin Hart as Roland. The involvement of Roth and Cate Blanchett was also praised by Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. He appears in the film as an executive producer. Unfortunately, it is not clear when the film will premiere and we do not know the details of the story.

The Master Chief will also land in Hungary

The Budapest company MidAtlantic also helps with other video game adaptations. Another project is the Halo series, in which actor Pablo Schreiber will take on the role of Master Chief. By the way, the new Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve, was also filmed in Hungarian studios.

The Borderlands series was born in 2009 and, in addition to three numbered episodes, includes The Pre-Sequel from 2014. A pleiad of DLCs and spin-offs Borderlands Legends or Tales from the Borderlands were also created. Exclusive Borderlands Online events were to go exclusively to China, but its development was canceled. In addition, many comics and novels have been published from this world.
