    Jack Black will Play Claptrap in “Borderlands” Movie

    Mary Anne ButlerBy Updated:1 Min Read

    This just in, yet another big name has been added to the upcoming “Borderlands” live-action movie! Well-rounded nerd Jack Black will be lending his voice to Claptrap!

    Director Eli Roth, who is helming this film, said: “I am so excited to reunite with Jack, this time in the recording booth. Claptrap is the funniest character in the game, and Jack is perfect to bring him to the big screen.”

    President of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Nathan Kahane agreed that adding Black as the sarcastic robot was “one of the biggest no-brainer casting decisions we’ve ever made.”

    Black joins Jamie Lee Curtis (who will be playing Dr. Tannis), Kevin Hart as “Borderlands 2” character Roland (described as a skilled ex-soldier turned mercenary), and Cate Blanchett as Lilith.

     “Chernobyl” scribe Craig Mazin wrote the most recent “Borderlands” script for the Lionsgate release, and that’s about all we know at this point.

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
