August 9, 2024 Mike Manalo

Borderlands, the new video game adaptation, is officially hitting theaters today. This week Lionsgate held a special fan event for hardcore gamers, and the stars were out to celebrate with them!

The Eli Roth-directed adaptation has done a terrific job generating buzz from its amazing replica of Moxxi’s Bar in SDCC, to the Mountain Dew Borderlands Motel activation in New Mexico! And this week, the anticipated release had its huge yellow-carpet premiere! Take a look at the photos from the event below, featuring stars Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, and of course, the incomparable Claptrap!
