Eli Roth is set to direct the movie adaptation of 2K’s first-person shooter, Borderlands, for Lionsgate.
Borderlands is set in the distant future, in which four “Vault Hunters” travel to the distant planet Pandora to hunt down an alien vault, rumored to contain advanced alien technology. The hunters find themselves battling the local wildlife and bandit population, but ultimately attempt to stop the head of a private corporation army from reaching the vault first.
Production will begin later this year.
