The first Borderlands movie trailer has a real Guardians vibe to it
The Borderlands film’s first trailer makes it seem like an explosive but predictable alien heist adventure.
It has been hard to pin down what sort of tone Lionsgate wanted to strike with its new Borderlands adaptation from director Eli Roth, but judging from the film’s first trailer, it seems as if the studio’s gunning for a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe. Based on the game series by the same name, Borderlands tells the story of alien outlaw Lilith (Cate Blanchett), a wanted woman from the planet Pandora who returns to her homeworld in search of a fabled vault rumored to be filled with invaluable treasures. And the trailer’s use of Electric Light Orchestra’s “Do Ya” as Lilith and her crew are blasting their way across the screen makes it seem as if Lionsgate is angling for Borderlands to hit many of the same notes as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films.
