Were you brave enough to ignore our review of the Borderlands movie and miss out on learning exactly the kind of thing you were in for when watching it? Well, at least it wasn’t an Uwe Boll-directed video game adaptation. The disgraced director is making fun of the movie on Twitter though.
Borderlands’ global box office haul during its first weekend in theaters was an embarrassing $16.5 million on a production budget estimated around $115 million (plus marketing costs). Needless to say, that’s a massive flop, the kind that instantly kills any hope of ever sequelising a movie. There just wasn’t any tangible hype surrounding the movie, and the brutal critic reviews certainly didn’t help its case.
Now, even Boll, the mind behind F-tier video store bangers like Alone in the Dark (2005), BloodRayne (2005), or Far Cry (2008), is openly mocking Lionsgate’s Eli Roth-directed misfire. ‘Join in on the fun,’ I’d say, but he messed it all up when he stated anyone wishes he directed Borderlands.
