Borderlands Movie's Massive Failure Detailed By Lionsgate Exec
The Borderlands movie may not get much attention during Oscar season, but it’s probably going to be a contender at the Razzies for the worst film of 2024. The reviews were brutal and it made only $31 million worldwide in its first month of release. Now, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer is opening up about the failure of the movie, and he didn’t mince words.
“Nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong,” Feltheimer told investors during a conference call. “It sat on the shelf for too long during the pandemic, and reshoots and rising interest rates took it outside the safety zone of our usual strict financial models.”
Borderlands director Eli Roth put together an impressive cast for the film, including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ariana Greenblatt. According to Borderlands stunt coordinator Jimmy O’Dee, Roth originally shot Borderlands as an R-rated movie. Deadpool director Tim Miller oversaw the pricy reshoots that transformed it int…

Daniel Radcliffe Doesn't Want To Get Locked Into Playing Wolverine
Not many actors have played one character for as long as, or in as many films as Hugh Jackman played Wolverine, but Daniel Radcliffe isn’t far off with over a decade of Harry Potter films under his belt. The 33-year-old ex-wizard isn’t too keen to jump into a role that the previous actor has now occupied for over twice as long, Variety reports.
According to Radcliffe, the Wolverine rumor that has circled around him for quite a while is “purely a press tour rumor.”
“I say something, and then occasionally I get bored of answering that way, so I say something different, and that sets it off again,” Radcliffe said about the Wolverine rumor. “I should just never open my mouth.”
“I just don’t ever want to get locked it something that I am not sure I will be able to love the same amount the whole time,” Radcliffe explained. Hugh Jackman first snikt out his claws in 2000’s X-Men, and he recently announced alongside Ryan Reynolds that he’ll be appearing in Deadpool 3, which…
