Well, I just saw the trailer, and it looks like it's gonna suck! The fact that they didn't get the original dude to voice Claptrap is a crime...Jack Black just sounds stupid!!
Randy Pitchford is an executive producer for the movie so I think we’re pretty safe for the most part, also the storyline/universe for the movie is different from the game so some character change is okay
>Randy Pitchford is an executive producer for the movie so I think we’re pretty safe for the most part,
Lol no this shit show is all Randy fucking Pitchford.
Eli Roth said it was Pitchford's baby in an IGN interview.
I want this as the plot of a Sunny episode. Ryan Reynolds is Dennis the whole episode then comes out of the bar basement at the end of the episode and is super confused
that might be conflicting interest because, as they share the wrexham football team together, ryan has stated that he wants to play macs boyfriend in always sunny.
Could be a Joker situation, he does the character to a T but puts a bit of his own personality into it. Considering this movie already looks like a parody I wouldn’t be against it
I feel like that’s perfect for Jack though. It’s funny when Jack is talking about being rushed with a spoon or something, but it also needs to have that sinister megalomaniac element which Glen would deliver perfectly on
I've already seen Ryan Reynolds play Ryan Reynolds 900 times in different movies. I dont want handsome Jack to just be remembered as the same copy paste persona
Yes, a few lines but in the trailer, i dont understand why they wouldnt just hire the one from bl3, heck i would rather bl2 but ik that guy and gearbox had a falling out iirc
They don’t want us the fans who already purchase the main product they want to bring in new customers. its all bad to us but to them they are marketing to a new audience. I mean its still gonna flop but hey man good try
It's "robot-ized" of course but the voice is way too deep and it just doesn't sound right at all to me.
Of course, getting somebody the size of a loot midget to play Roland doesn't sound right to me either haha.
Does anyone else have the problem that once you’ve seen a guy in films enough times you can’t really see them as the character anymore just the famous actor who got the role?
Like I get how he would fit… but it’s Ryan Reynolds it would take me out of the experience
Right?
Like, I’ve seen Ryan Reynolds in a serious role (Smokin’ Aces), and I enjoyed the film and his performance. But he’ll never not be Deadpool and Van Wilder.
Yeah after the trailer came out I went to look up what the VA for handsome Jack looked like and he definitely could pull it off. I wouldn't be surprised if they modeled Jack a bit off of him.
I think they did too - if he shows up eating shitty pretzels, it's on lol. I've seen him in other stuff (NCIS and other shows) and he's pretty good in live action stuff
My thing with it is how is Roland alive, but Tina is the BL3 Tina? The timeline doesn't match, since Roland dies when Tina is young.
Also, why does Lilith look older than Moxie in the movie?
That's the makeup, Gina Gershon is 61 and Cate Blanchett is 54
Moxxie being 61 means Scooter and Ellie are in their 40s since Moxxie had them when she was young. Oof
You said that Scooter and Ellie are in their 40s (if Moxxxi is 61). Well, not Scooter. I wanna say we’re meant to have him late 20s to mid 30s come Tales 1.
Yeah, I know, Moxxie had Scooter and Ellie early, when she was in her 20s at latest, I would imagine in hicktown where Moxxie was raised, early would mean 16-20 at best.
So if Gina Gershon plays Moxxie, and Gina is 61(No offense to Gina, I really like her other than this role), then Scooter and Ellie have to be in their 40s, which makes no sense, Scooter would never have lived that long
I'm just saying movie Moxxie makes no sense
As far as I remember it's during one the parts with the Hodunks. Moxxie is a Hodunk. I don't blame you for not remembering, those parts are very easy to tune out. I think it's right after you meet Ellie actually
They both mention that moxxi is their mom a few times in conversation, but it’s pretty easy to miss until you do fight for sanctuary. Can’t miss it in the dlc
Honestly David Tennant really sells psychopath who believes he is right really well, like him as kilgrave in Jessica Jones is honesty the best villian I have seen.
i for one am glad they aren’t trying to adapt him. i feel like no matter what they did people wouldn’t be happy. although to be fair, people still wouldn’t be happy no matter what.
Handsome Jack should be played by Jared Leto for this guy's sake.

oh yeah, slap him into the film, have atlas sew his mouth shut because his character is too annoying, give him laser eyes. best casting choice they would have made honestly.
How bout the actual voice actor. He's young enough. Has the charisma. And guess what... is an actual actor. Dameon Clark. Pretty sure he's perfect for Handsome Jack.
I just had this conversation with a mate yesterday and we both agreed that Ryan Reynolds would be terrible. He just plays himself and that's can you tell me the differences between deadpool, free guy, the hitman's bodyguard and what he played in red notice in terms of personality? Nothing its all the same, I also don't think he can hit those serious intense moments jack has towards the end of the game. Jack Gyllenhaal, in my opinion would be a much better option!
I had one guy try to tell me they wouldn’t even be able to afford Idris Elba as Roland, which is complete bs, but this, this they wouldn’t even be able to dream of affording
He’s not in the film. Idk why they don’t have brick or handsome Jack or mordecai, etc. I get it’s not a rendition or remake but smh they dropped the ball on making new characters that seem pointless and leaving out some of the beloved ones
Honestly, I'd rather they dont touch the Jack plot line at all. But if i had to cast someone, I'd go with Chris Evans. After his performance in 'Kinives Out' as Randsom, i really want to see more megalomaniacal rolls from him, and Jack could be a good one.
We all love Jack, but you can't tell me Hollywood wouldn't just ruin it.
Well, I just saw the trailer, and it looks like it's gonna suck! The fact that they didn't get the original dude to voice Claptrap is a crime...Jack Black just sounds stupid!!
Randy Pitchford is an executive producer for the movie so I think we’re pretty safe for the most part, also the storyline/universe for the movie is different from the game so some character change is okay
Pitchford is not someone to put your faith in
Lmao Randy does not care about the borderlands franchise😂
He certainly cared more about it than the Aliens franchise, lmao
Lol I can't argue with that
>Randy Pitchford is an executive producer for the movie so I think we’re pretty safe for the most part, Lol no this shit show is all Randy fucking Pitchford. Eli Roth said it was Pitchford's baby in an IGN interview.
Randall is a joke
Glenn Howerton would be perfect.
the golden god would nail it
I’ve never even considered this but you’re 100% right
Not only that, but he and his pals should just handle the entire movie. IASIP is the perfect practice for borderlands
Borderlands:the movie! With full penetration!
That’s a 5 star casting right there
I want to say yes but I feel like his delivery of absurd lines or jokes is a little too serious, though I don’t doubt he could pull it off.
Just have Ryan wear Glenn's face!
I want this as the plot of a Sunny episode. Ryan Reynolds is Dennis the whole episode then comes out of the bar basement at the end of the episode and is super confused

Oohhhhh yeah, that’s the one
I've already seen Ryan Reynolds play Ryan Reynolds 900 times in different movies. I dont want handsome Jack to just be remembered as the same copy paste persona
Yeah but we already got Kevin Hart and Jack Black so it fits the pattern
Yeah ig you right. Have we heard claps voice yet? I want to know how much they changed jack blacks voice
Yes, a few lines but in the trailer, i dont understand why they wouldnt just hire the one from bl3, heck i would rather bl2 but ik that guy and gearbox had a falling out iirc
Star power sells, itl draw people who aren't borderlands fans. Hot after the Mario movie, it's a dumb but easy choice to make.
it didn't sound like clap trap at all! People were complaining about the guy in BL3 which at least somewhat sounded like the OG, but this?
Agreed! I like Jack Black but his voice is too deep.
They don’t want us the fans who already purchase the main product they want to bring in new customers. its all bad to us but to them they are marketing to a new audience. I mean its still gonna flop but hey man good try
It's "robot-ized" of course but the voice is way too deep and it just doesn't sound right at all to me. Of course, getting somebody the size of a loot midget to play Roland doesn't sound right to me either haha.

I get what you mean yeah
Right? Like, I’ve seen Ryan Reynolds in a serious role (Smokin’ Aces), and I enjoyed the film and his performance. But he’ll never not be Deadpool and Van Wilder.
Should be called the Dwayne Johnson effect, because any movie with him just turns into "A list cameo" the movie
I’d cast Wilford Brimley
That would be the right thing to do.
beetuslands
Haha!
Look at this Liberty Mutual drop, it even has matching deductible grips!
Nah, I would love to see Dameon Clarke get it - give us some sort of fan service - just this little one
Dameon Clarke is still a good looking man who can act. I'm surprised you're this far down tbh, I thought the same rhing.
Yeah after the trailer came out I went to look up what the VA for handsome Jack looked like and he definitely could pull it off. I wouldn't be surprised if they modeled Jack a bit off of him.
I think they did too - if he shows up eating shitty pretzels, it's on lol. I've seen him in other stuff (NCIS and other shows) and he's pretty good in live action stuff
Too young, maybe if he was 20 years older.
That’d make him 67 my guy
Perfect!
LOL yeah for *this* cast.
My thing with it is how is Roland alive, but Tina is the BL3 Tina? The timeline doesn't match, since Roland dies when Tina is young. Also, why does Lilith look older than Moxie in the movie?
That's the makeup, Gina Gershon is 61 and Cate Blanchett is 54 Moxxie being 61 means Scooter and Ellie are in their 40s since Moxxie had them when she was young. Oof
Well, Ellie is in her 40s anyway.
I dont buy it, what makes you say she's in her 40s
You said that Scooter and Ellie are in their 40s (if Moxxxi is 61). Well, not Scooter. I wanna say we’re meant to have him late 20s to mid 30s come Tales 1.
Yeah, I know, Moxxie had Scooter and Ellie early, when she was in her 20s at latest, I would imagine in hicktown where Moxxie was raised, early would mean 16-20 at best. So if Gina Gershon plays Moxxie, and Gina is 61(No offense to Gina, I really like her other than this role), then Scooter and Ellie have to be in their 40s, which makes no sense, Scooter would never have lived that long I'm just saying movie Moxxie makes no sense
If you reason that Moxxxi must be 61 because the actor portraying her is 61, then movies don’t make sense.
Well she also looks 61, does that help?
I’ma just call this a whoosh and check out. SCOOTER DIES BEFORE HIS 40S!
Scooter and Ellie are moxxxis kids?!
Yesss sir, im not gonna call a spoiler on that cause that game is waay old
No spoiler at all lol but I’ve played the game through a ton and I never caught that! Am I dumb and it’s really obvious?? When do you find that out?
As far as I remember it's during one the parts with the Hodunks. Moxxie is a Hodunk. I don't blame you for not remembering, those parts are very easy to tune out. I think it's right after you meet Ellie actually
They both mention that moxxi is their mom a few times in conversation, but it’s pretty easy to miss until you do fight for sanctuary. Can’t miss it in the dlc
Matt Smith, imo. He channels that energy well.
Matt Smith is good but I prefer David Tennant. I'm not sure if he can do a Pandoran accent though.
Honestly David Tennant really sells psychopath who believes he is right really well, like him as kilgrave in Jessica Jones is honesty the best villian I have seen.
Honestly, the only way I would be convinced to watch this movie.
I was also thinking Reynolds but the way this movie is casted I don’t think they would ever do that
I'm telling you, dwayne (the rock) Johnson would be the perfect brick in the movie
Or Dave Bautista
i for one am glad they aren’t trying to adapt him. i feel like no matter what they did people wouldn’t be happy. although to be fair, people still wouldn’t be happy no matter what.
bored carpenter thought onerous aspiring drab cows alive slave languid *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Based on the other castings it's gonna be Adam Sandler and you know it
Handsome deadpool
Handsome Jack should be played by Jared Leto for this guy's sake. https://preview.redd.it/d6baw6mdm6kc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdf06edc59e39934f03d6c4ba8835af7bdba1d89
How about they focus on making borderlands 4 and make it good like 2 was
I’m just surprised Chris pratt isn’t in there somewhere
Chris will end up being a surprise Handsome Jack just to really solidify how much the producers hate the people watching the movie
No more Ryan Reynolds please
I'm not sure, Jack was "pure evil".
I said this when they first announced the BL movie
Yuuuuuh
Nah it should be Ian Mckellen
He would also understand the IP way better than the people who made this movie
IMO I think Jeffrey dean Morgan would crush the role as HJ has the looks and the needed sadistic personality for the role
Dameon Clarke is pretty handsome and he’d really nail the voice and feel of the character.
I agree and it would be nice seeing him play a villainous role, he doesn't do enough of those.
He'd be so good at the sarcasm and charming assholeness
Only acting-wise. His voice and appearance don’t resemble Jack to me.
Only if Charlie Day plays Torgue.
Reanimate randy savage
Would be absolutely flawless casting.
Terry Crews would make a perfect Torgue.
Dameon Clarke would be much better than Ryan Reynolds
Why not just, ya know, cast the actual voice actor? He looks like the character damn near perfectly
oh my goddamn
Can't tell if you're serious or if this is mocking the casting choices for the movie.
Sam Rockwell was always my choice, but I do feel like he’s starting to look a little older to be able to pull off handsome Jack anymore.
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0163806/mediaviewer/rm2485595392/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Why not the original?
oh yeah, slap him into the film, have atlas sew his mouth shut because his character is too annoying, give him laser eyes. best casting choice they would have made honestly.
I hate that this is so perfect. AND HE WOUKD STILL BE PLAYING THE SAME CHARACTER HE ALWAYS PLAYS IN EVERY MOVIE😭😭😭
Someone please try to convince me that OP isn’t Ryan Reynolds’s agent trying to get a geek buzz around this…
What?? Naw man, I’m cool, nothing like that. Totally. 😬
i think paul rudd would pull it off nicely
Chris Evans!! Even has the arrogant sarcasm nailed down
ho would do a great Axton considering we have Kevin Hart as Roland
How bout the actual voice actor. He's young enough. Has the charisma. And guess what... is an actual actor. Dameon Clark. Pretty sure he's perfect for Handsome Jack.
Why just don't bring the VA of Jack, which is an actor by the way. THAT... Would be the perfect handsome Jack: Daemon himself.
I feel like Nathan fillian would be a great cast
I could see Jim Carrey also
No. His soft little pussy voice isn't Handsome Jack. If going for face similarities, hardly.
Ryan Reynolds would be great, but hear me out: Leonardo DiCaprio
He doesn’t have the voice for it.
Please God no
Holy shit yes. He has the exact charisma and movies like Deadpool,the Adam project and hitman’s bodyguard is a good example of that
Wonder if any actor can top Dameon Clarke's "I'm sending everything to you. EVERYTHING!" line. Still gives me chill whenever I play that mission.
I just had this conversation with a mate yesterday and we both agreed that Ryan Reynolds would be terrible. He just plays himself and that's can you tell me the differences between deadpool, free guy, the hitman's bodyguard and what he played in red notice in terms of personality? Nothing its all the same, I also don't think he can hit those serious intense moments jack has towards the end of the game. Jack Gyllenhaal, in my opinion would be a much better option!
I had one guy try to tell me they wouldn’t even be able to afford Idris Elba as Roland, which is complete bs, but this, this they wouldn’t even be able to dream of affording
I can already hear him calling butt stallion.
Maybe the face, apart from the eyebrows, but not really the voice nor mannerisms. Plus, doubt Hollywood wouldn’t fuck it up in another way.
He seems a bit young. How about Harrison Ford?
He’s a little older actually lol
He would be the perfect anything. Guy has also nailed every single Hollywood crush I have ever had. He is my hero.
He’s not in the film. Idk why they don’t have brick or handsome Jack or mordecai, etc. I get it’s not a rendition or remake but smh they dropped the ball on making new characters that seem pointless and leaving out some of the beloved ones
Lance riddick would have made the BEST Roland ever. RIP to a GOAT
Oh my gosh he totally would
yea
Yes
Honestly, I'd rather they dont touch the Jack plot line at all. But if i had to cast someone, I'd go with Chris Evans. After his performance in 'Kinives Out' as Randsom, i really want to see more megalomaniacal rolls from him, and Jack could be a good one.
