Can it top Tales from the Borderlands?

Borderlands is Gearbox’s star property. Though The Pre-Sequel was kind of a letdown, Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and Tales from the Borderlands have all been critical and/or commercial successes. Of course 2K and Gearbox would want there to be a movie. Of course.

Lionsgate (The Hunger Games, Divergent) will be heading up production, but past that there isn’t much known. Will it be live action or CG (I’m hoping for the latter, personally)? Will it take place before, during, or after the current events in the series? Will it star the Vault Hunters we already know and love or introduce a new set of characters? Will it actually be good (god I hope so)?

The Borderlands movie is set to be produced by Avi and Ari Arad, who are best known for working on superhero comic movies like Iron Man.
