Lionsgate has officially announced that production on Eli Roth’s highly anticipated video game adaptation of Gearbox Software’s Borderlands has wrapped. Filming took place primarily in Hungary and took just over three months. To celebrate everyone’s hard work and to get fans pumped and ready, Lionsgate shared a brand new behind-the-scenes photo which gives us our first complete look at Claptrap who will be voiced by Jack Black.
You can check out the announcement tweet below.
Borderland stars Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Patricia Tannis, Jack Black as Claptrap and Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina. Also joining the cast is Florian Munteanu, Olivier Richters, and Edgar Ramirez.
Check out the synopsis for Borderlands below:
Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe’s most powerful S.O.B., Atlas (Ramirez). Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team – Roland (Hart), a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Curtis), the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap (Black), a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other.
