Borderlands film director blames flop on Zoom and Covid
Director Eli Roth has shared his thoughts on what went wrong with last year’s Borderlands adaptation, which was a critical and commercial flop.
Why did it fail? Well, Roth believes that the circumstances around the film, such as the Covid pandemic, certainly didn’t do the team any favours.
In conversation with podcast The Town (via Dark Horizons), Roth admitted that the first time he got to view the final film, he wasn’t actually sure what he was going to see. This is because Roth had already started work on another film, and Deadpool film director Tim Miller had taken over Borderlands’ reshoots.
