How Borderlands bridges the border of film and games — Randy Pitchford and Jamie Lee Curtis

Borderlands the movie is coming out on August 9 in theaters as the latest gaming intellectual property that has gone Hollywood.

To Randy Pitchford, a magician and president of Gearbox Entertainment, this created a long-awaited opportunity to find the border interactive and linear storytelling. If you check out movie trailer, you’ll see it has a vibe like the Guardians of the Galaxy with a retro song from ELO, Do You Want My Love. This ragtag group of misfits will band together to pull off a heist. Or maybe it’s a bit like Ocean’s 11. The point is that it’s hard to tell what inspired what.
