The Borderlands action video game franchise has attracted many fans over the years and now, a film adaptation of the movie is officially in production!

Lionsgate announced that the highly anticipated movie will be directed by horror movie director Eli Roth and joined by producers Avi Arad and Ari Arad together with executive producers Randy Pitchford and Strauss Zelnick.

"I'm so excited to dive into the world of Borderlands and I could not be doing it with a better script, producing team, and studio. I have a long, successful history with Lionsgate,” Eli Roth said in a statement.

“I feel like we have grown up together and that everything in my directing career has led to a project of this scale and ambition.”

The game's story focuses on a group of four "Vault Hunters", who travel to the distant planet Pandora to hunt down an alien vault, rumoured to contain advanced alien technology, finding themselves battling the local wildlife and bandit population, but ultimately attempting to stop the head of a private corporation army from reaching the vault first.

The movie was first announced in 2015 and is rumoured to be rated R and will have a female lead casted for the film.

"I look forward to bringing my own energy, ideas, and vision to the wild, fun, and endlessly creative world of the game. Randy Pitchford and everyone at Gearbox have been incredibly supportive of my ideas – it really feels like a perfect storm of creators coming together.”

“We are out to make a new classic, one which the fans of the game will love, but also one which will find new audiences globally."
