After Gearbox announced the upcoming Borderlands movie today, president Randy Pitchford discussed the studio's partnership with Lionsgate, as well as the film's likely rating.

　　"Lionsgate really seems to get Borderlands," Pitchford said during a panel at PAX 2015 in Seattle. "And we're giving a mission to them, to make the first good movie based on a video game. And knowing Borderlands, it's probably going to be rated R."

　　President of games for Lionsgate Peter Levin said the studio is making concerted efforts to stay true to the Borderlands "in-your-face" attitude, and to make good use of the Borderlands property Pitchford and Gearbox "graciously shared."

　　"We're so humbled to be able to work with Borderlands," Levin said during the PAX Prime panel. "It's an important property, and we're going to make sure we carry through."
