I don’t disagree, but the headline is a bit misleading. The director is saying that COVID and Zoom affected his ability to properly plan out the movie.
"I think none of us, none of us anticipated how complicated things were gonna be with Covid. Not just in terms of what we’re shooting, but then you have to do pick-up shots or reshoots and you have six people that are all on different sets and every one of those sets is getting shut down because the cities have opened up, and now there’s a Covid outbreak and it was just like… we couldn’t prep in a room together, I couldn’t be with my stunt people, I couldn’t do pre-vis, everyone’s spread all over the place.
“You can’t prep a movie on that scale over Zoom and I think we all thought we could pull it off and we got our asses handed to us a bit.”
Still sounds like shifting the blame instead of taking responsibility for creating a bad movie. Had they met in person instead of zoom, I really don’t see how that would have changed anything.
The whole film just stank of people working on it at all levels who had zero first-hand experience with the game.
This is the one that got me, I don’t actually mind Kevin Hart but casting him as ROLAND of all people….?? Whatever the casting director was smoking, I want some of that. I swear these moviemakers don’t even know what Borderlands is… fucking Jack Black as claptrap… smh gtfoh. They should have just made their first borderlands movie follow Jack and show his whole origin… the first movie could’ve ended right as he’s turning into a full-blown bad guy… setting them up for Borderlands 2
I don’t doubt that those additional challenges didn’t help anything, but that movie sounded like it had already gone wrong by the time they finished casting.
Kevin heart for the person that is supposed to be the straight man. Literally can not think of a worse casting choice.
Most of the other ones are questionable to but that’s the one that really stood out to me as someone who actually enjoyed the first teo games humor when they came out.
sure… not the fact that the film was terrible.
it was COVID.
sure bro.

Kevin Hart as Roland. There’s no possible way it is good with that fact alone and meeting via zoom doesn’t affect that
