"Eli Roth is set to direct a feature take on the 2K first-person shooter PC-console game Borderlands for Lionsgate. Production will begin later this year.
Avi Arad and Ari Arad are producing Borderlands through their Arad Productions banner with Erik Feig through his Picturestart. He has shepherded the project and overseen development, including the latest draft of the screenplay by the two-time Emmy-winning screenwriter Craig Mazin. Lionsgate has been developing the project since 2015. EPs are Randy Pitchford, executive producer of the Borderlands video game franchise and founder of Gearbox Software, and Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive.
“With Eli’s vision and Craig’s screenplay, we believe we have cracked the code on bringing the anarchic world of Borderlands to the big screen in a big way that will be a fresh, compelling and cinematic event for moviegoers and fans of the game,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group President Nathan Kahane.
James Myers is overseeing the project on behalf of Lionsgate. Emmy Yu is overseeing the film for Arad Productions. Lucy Kitada will oversee the project for Picturestart."
