Borderlands is being adapted into a live-action movie, and director Eli Roth wants to pay tribute to hardcore cosplayers by killing them. No, not literally. Roth briefly appeared onstage at Gearbox's PAX East panel to voice his excitement for the project and for the fan community, calling it "a mad, insane family." Roth then noted a desire to honor the community by selecting a handful of cosplayers to appear as extras in the film, where their characters can then be killed off in suitably Borderlands-esque ways. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/20/borderlands-movie-in-production-directed-by-eli-roth-ign-news"] It's not clear how exactly these cosplayers will be chosen.
