Video game adaptations are having a moment in Hollywood, and Borderlands is the latest to get Hollywood treatment. The first trailer for this action-packed sci-fi blockbuster is here, and its star-studded cast includes the likes of Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart.

Borderlands centers on an infamous bounty hunter Lilith (Blanchett), who reluctantly returns to her home planet Pandora. She must join forces with a ragtag team of misfits and “battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets.”

In addition to Blanchett as Lilith, the cast of this project will include Kevin Hart as a seasoned mercenary Roland, Ariana Greenblatt as a feral pre-teen demolitionist Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as her musclebound protector Krieg, Jamie Lee Curtis as an oddball scientist Dr. Patricia Tannis, and Jack Black as a wise robot Claptrap.

Edgar Ramírez, Gina Gershon, Haley Bennett, Bobby Lee, Olivier Richters, and Janina Gavankar round out the film’s supporting cast.

Borderlands draws inspiration from Gearbox Software’s hit video game franchise of the same name, and it’s been adapted for the big screen by Joe Crombie and Eli Roth, who also serves as its director.

Borderlands will be released theatrically by Lionsgate on August 9.

Minecraft is finally getting its long-awaited movie adaptation, and its cast is getting more amazing by the day. The beloved comedian Jack Black is the latest star to join the star-studded ensemble of this movie, as production gets underway.

Jack Black is joining this project in the role of Steve, and he’ll be in pretty good company on the set of Minecraft. The ensemble cast of this project also includes Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Emma Myers (Wednesday), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), and Sebastian Eugene Hansen (Just Mercy).

Minecraft draws inspiration from the hit Mojang/Microsoft title, which made history as the bestselling video game of all time, with 300 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active players. Plot details are being kept under wraps, so we still don’t know much about this adaptation.

Jared Hess is directing the pic, but no writers are attached to it. Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Momoa, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Vu Bui, and the late Jill Messick are producing, with Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, and Jonathan Spaihts serving as executive producers.

Jack Black most recently voiced the main villain Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and he’ll soon return as Po in Kung Fu Panda 4.

Oh Hell No focuses on the relationship between two men, Sherman (Black) and Will (Cube), after Sherman falls in love with Will’s mom. Further details about the plot and cast remain unknown, although it was previously revealed that the movie is expected to hit theaters on July 1st, 2022.

The comedy will be Sakurai’s first project since Netflix comedy Bad Trip. The list of his previous works also includes The Eric Andre Show and FX’s series Dave.

Jack Black hasn’t been on the big screen since 2019’s Jumanji: The Next Level but has several movies lined up for release in the near future. This includes an appearance in the live-action adaptation of popular video game Borderlands, in which he is set to star as fan-favorite Claptrap.

Who doesn’t love escape rooms? This form of torture has been turned into a fun night out and NBC’s special Celebrity Escape Room, which was part of Red Nose Day 2020, shows Ben Stiller, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and Adam Scott racing against the clock to try and solve puzzles in a room.

The twist is that Jack Black serves as the “Game Master” tricking the participants throughout the game. During the competition, Stiller, Kudrow, Cox, and Scott try to solve the puzzles while Black manipulates a set of buzzers and they can ask him only three clues. When they finally figure it out, there are more surprises waiting for them and you can see Cox walking through a tiny, dark room by herself—reminiscent of her horror days in Scream.

In a sneak peek Scott says, “The game master is Jack Black and he is diabolical,” Scott says.

“It’s a battle of wits,” Black explains. “You against the room.”

Who’s the weakest link in this A-list team? “That’s me,” Kudrow volunteers.

“No, you’re so smart,” Cox says. “It’s going to be [Adam Scott].”

For each room the players complete, money is donated to Red Nose Day to charities for children in need. The show aired on May 21 on NBC and was followed by the two-hour Red Nose Day Special.

Millions of people dream about having their own star on Hollywood Walk of Fame, and that dream just came true for Jack Black. The famous comedian had some fun posing on the sidewalk with his new star after it was unveiled on Tuesday.

Some of the people who joined Black on the sidewalk were Richard Linklater and Mike White, the masterminds behind School of Rock – the movie that transformed this relative unknown into an overnight sensation.

Tim Robbins, Bob Odenkirk and Eli Roth, the director of Black’s upcoming project A House With a Clock in Its Walls, also showed up to support him. They had nothing but words of praise for two-time Golden Globe-nominated actor, and Linklater went so far to describe him as “massive colossus of talent”.

Jack Black was his usual hilarious self while receiving this huge honor and joked the star proves he really made it in this world.

“I’ve wanted one of these things for so long. Since I was a kid I thought, ‘Oh man, if you get one of those stars on the sidewalk that means you’ve made it.’ And I feel like I’ve finally grasped that sweet brass ring.” said Black after receiving the star.

It has been more than two decades since Jumanji, the film of about a boy who was sucked into a board game, was released. The original stars a bearded Robin Williams playing the adult that is finally released from the game and the jungle.

This year, fans will return to the wild with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

This time around, four teenagers stumble upon an old video game after they were sent to detention and were made to clean a dusty old basement. The four find themselves trapped in the games’ avatars: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan, when as expected dangerous animals and jungle peril ensue.

The body-swapping element definitely adds a comic touch to the movie as the four must portray inherently different type cast: Johnson is a self-conscious gamer, Hart is a cocky football player, and Black is the most popular girl in school.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle hits theaters December 20.
