The first thing he does is praise the cast. Meanwhile this casting is so bad that it was identified as a bad movie by 99% of people just based on that aspect alone. Kevin is the polar opposite person to Roland in every possible way, the one and only similarity? Their skin color. Just proving how racist Hollywood is. They are blind to all character traits except race. Except when it comes to redheads for some reason, where we haven't seen a REAL redhead in hollywood since like Laura Prepon of That's 70's show. Again, the one and only similarity between Kate and Lilith, is the red hair, which is FAKE anyway! Do you know how many hot talented redheads there are out there? It always looks terrible when they dye some non-ginger's hair for a role, but they do it every time without fail. No idea why they wouldn't just use ClapTrap's actual voice? Oh wait yes I do, because Hollywood is literally a joke where people just hire random known actors, writers, and directers, and hope for the best, and never learn when they instead get the worst, because it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the RACIST fans fault for being just bad people.
If Eli really would love that franchise, he would never allow to release such garbage. There is everything wrong in the movie, from the beginning to the end. Casting? I love that actors, specially Kate. But this is not role for her. Not at all! Same for Jamie. Characters? Has nothing common with those in game, except names, and maybe visualization. A little. Story-line? Completely ignore timeline of the Borderlands Universe. Atmosphere? Ok, Visualization is maybe the best on the movie. But except bandits, nothing works. People watching the movie, are not identifying with the Borderlands world. Also because back in the head, there is still alarm ringing "hey, it should not be like this, its wrong". Like if you are sleeping, and brain says "Hey, its not real, its a dream". Unfortunately this dream is almost nightmare. Definitely for Borderlands veteran players.
"I wanted something that kids could love too" ... Ok. "Because the games are violent games" ... Ok. "So then the kids could enjoy it and become borderlands gamers" ... So remove the violence to attract kids in order to forward them onto violence. "Yes" You're gonna have to run that by me again.
I know right? If your goal is to attract watchers to the games then toning down the violence makes no sense if they're supposed to play the game anyway.
I should be an influential movie director apparently, I had no idea I was so much more talented, and so much less delusional, than this apparently rich and famous and "successful" individual...
"I see this world and I love it, I just wanna live in it" ..... bro are we talking about the same Borderlands?
Does this dude know what Borderlands is? It's like he ordered the screenplay off of Temu
this interview was done in a different dimension i guess

for sure!
It's a garbage fire movie, it's clear no one involved has ever played the games even once.
he definitely checked the source material...
just to try and change more from it.

Movie is a complete flop.
Eli Roth. The director whoose movies I'll never watch again.
"I wanted something that kids could love too"
... Ok.
"Because the games are violent games"
... Ok.
"So then the kids could enjoy it and become borderlands gamers"
... So remove the violence to attract kids in order to forward them onto violence.
"Yes"
You're gonna have to run that by me again.

Hopefully We get the Roth cut on Blu-ray.

He should stop "directing" garbage that divides from the source material.
