Jack Black To Play Claptrap In Upcoming ‘Borderlands’ Movie

School Of Rock hero, Jack Black is the latest cast member to be announced for the upcoming 'Borderlands' movie. The cast is already a who's who of Hollywood and is set to include Jamie-Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett, and Kevin Hart. The stars really seem to have aligned with this casting and Black seems the perfect, no, the ONLY choice to play the sarcastic, annoying yet lovable little robot. This casting is literally a license to print money Nathan Kahane, president of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, says choosing Black for the role was “one of the biggest no-brainer casting decisions we’ve ever made.” “We couldn’t have been more in sync with our filmmakers and casting executives as we approached this role,” Kahane said. “Everyone who’s ever played the game knows Jack is perfect for...

Breathedge Leaving Steam Early Access Soon

Open World Survival Craft game Breathedge is soon to be leaving the Steam early access program. Breathedge version 1.0 is coming to Steam, Epic Games store and other platforms on February 25 2021. RedRuins Softworks develop Breathedge and this is their first game. The publishers are HypeTrain Digital (The Wild Eight, Desolate). This game is a new one on my horizon, not seen or heard of it until today. However to me, it looks like it has similar gameplay to Subnautica, only instead of deep-sea, you're stranded in deep space. That's not a bad thing at all. However, I won't bring up that chicken and the vending machine that you can see in the below launch trailer (please explain that one to us in a mature manner in the comments, haha). The graphics sure do look nice on it though...
