Borderlands is set on the planet of Pandora. Lured by its apparent vast deposits of minerals, several colonization ships sponsored by the Dahl Corporation (one of several diversified mega-corporations that appear to control and govern entire planets) journey to the planet and build settlements there. The mining operations are cost-effectively manned by large amounts of convict labor brought to the planet by Dahl.
Prior to the events of the game, one of the other mega-corporations, known as the Atlas Corporation, had found an ancient vault on a nearby planet known as Promethia, filled with alien technology that allowed them to make leaps and bounds in starship and weaponry technology, and overtake their competitors. The presence of similar alien ruins scattered across Pandora spurs the Dahl Corporation to undertake an extensive search for a possible vault on Pandora, headed by a respected xeno-archeologist by the name of Tannis. However, the Dahl-sponsored search for a vault on Pandora turns out to be fruitless, and the massive industrial mining operations soon deplete the bulk of the mineral deposits. Furthermore, the coming of the planet's summer unleashes hordes of dangerous alien wildlife coming out of hibernation.
Those who are rich and important enough to do so leave the planet, leaving the rest of the population to scavenge for their living in isolated settlements, seeking out a living in the barren wastelands and industrial trash heaps across the planet. To make matters worse, the Dahl Corporation simply opened the gates of the prison labor camps during their departure, and gangs of bandits terrorize the populace. Despite the lack of evidence of its existence, legends persist of "The Vault" – a supposed treasure trove of alien artifacts, technology, and of innumerable wealth – but it is rumored that any who had discovered it were wiped out by a protective force, leaving few clues as to its location or purpose while a myth was born of the marvelous treasures within.
Borderlands begins some time after the Dahl Corporation's abandonment of Pandora; several fortune seekers, including the player, are drawn to the planet by its legends of an unopened Eridian Vault. After arriving at the town of Fyrestone, the player sees an image of a mysterious woman, the "Guardian Angel", who is aware they are here to seek the Vault and directs them to follow her instructions. The player meets a man named Dr. Zed and the doctor helps the player through the beginning of the game. The Angel eventually leads them to collecting one of the several artifacts needed to open the vault. This causes Patricia Tannis, an archaeologist/scientist, to contact the player and urge them to collect the other three pieces of the Vault key. Tannis reveals that the Vault opens every 200 years and the time of the next opening is approaching. At the same time, Commandant Steele of the Crimson Lance, a well-outfitted mercenary force in the employ of one of the game's several mega-corporations, threatens to declare martial law over the planet and demands the vault key pieces.
While the player is able to secure the second and third Vault key pieces without incident, they find that the final piece is not where it is expected. Steele contacts the player, revealing that Tannis had betrayed them and that there are in fact only three pieces, then proceeds to cut off the planet's ECHO network disabling further communication with the Guardian Angel. The player infiltrates the Crimson Lance's headquarters and finds Tannis locked up; she claims she had no choice but to betray the player under force, but urges him/her to restart the ECHO network and to prevent Steele and the Crimson Lance from using the key. After restoring the network, the Guardian Angel urges the player to hurry and stop Steele. The player finds, as they approach the Vault, that the Crimson Lance are in combat with alien Guardians; after bypassing both forces, the player finally arrives at the Vault, too late to stop Steele from using the key. However, when the Vault opens, Steele and her guard are wiped out by a giant monster that is attempting to escape the vault. The Guardian Angel explains that the monster is called the Destroyer, imprisoned in the Vault by the alien Eridians long ago to prevent it from destroying the universe, with the Guardians present to prevent anyone from opening it. The player is able to defeat the monster, sealing the Vault for another 200 years.
**HEROES**
BRICK THE BERSERKER - ADAM BALDWIN
This is who I play as. He is basically a badass who prefers to punch than shoot. I think with a little body suit/CGI, Baldwin will be perfect.
ROLAND THE SOLDIER - DWAYNE JOHNSON
I chose someone who could play a decent soldier-type, but also have some fun with it.
LILITH THE SIREN - EVAN RACHEL WOOD
This character is dumb and she sucks. I think Evan would make her somewhat watchable.
MORDECAI THE HUNTER - EMILE HIRSCH
I think Mordecai could be pretty sweet on film. And i think Emile Hirsch would do a good job.
**ALLIES**
GUARDIAN ANGEL - BRITTANI JOHNSON
She plays the Angel in the game, so I figured she is perfect.
DR. ZED - SEAN BEAN
Zed is a crazy mofo who assigns the heroes missions in the beginning of the game, but for a movie, i figure it is easier to not use as many characters as the game does. So i only chose the main ones, and Zed is pretty important.
TK BAHA - GARY SINISE
TK is another character who gives out alot of missions. He is blind and only has one leg. I think Gary Sinise is a brilliant actor, and would do great in the part.
**ENEMIES**
COMMANDANT STEELE - ALI LARTER
She is the main enemy in the game. Ali Larter would be pretty sweet in the role. She can play evil.
PATRICIA TANNIS - KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
So she isn't necessarily an enemy, but she is forced to betray the heroes by Steele, so I threw her in here.
I think the movie should be really fun and not take itself too seriously. It should be extremely bloody and violent and awesome. There are alot more minor characters I did not put in here, but I don't think the movie should get too clogged up.
well, thats all folks. lemme know what you think
