This week, the Borderlands movie is out in theaters, and the reviews have not been kind. On top of everything else, the PG-13 film is up against Marvel’s R-rated juggernaut, Deadpool and Wolverine, which should sail to another win in its third weekend. But there’s a much darker version of Borderlands that we may never see, because this film was originally intended to be R-rated as well.Borderlands stunt coordinator Jimmy O’Dee told ScreenRant that the movie had a lot of gory violence, including decapitations and dismemberment, that didn’t make it into the final film.”We were shooting an R-rated movie when we did it,” recalled O’Dee. “So, we were blowing people’s heads off. And we were cutting feet off. We were doing all of that. But then, you know, a lot happens. We shot that nearly three years ago, or we just finished it. So, I guess a lot happens in post, and they see where it’s going to go and what market they’re aiming for. But literally the idea and the brief was carnage… Go for it and then we’ll sort it out in post.”Deadpool director Tim Miller helmed the reshoots, but according to O’Dee, the film’s original director, Eli Roth, favored a harder edge.”Eli loves horror,” said O’Dee. “He loves horror. It was funny, he was on the second unit, he came over, and he was like, ‘Uh… just cut the ankles off. Yeah, get the knife and cut the ankles and we will leave these stubs.’ It was kind of like there wasn’t enough gore for him sometimes. Eli was all over that kind of stuff. He was great to work with. It was such a fun time with him.”If the R-rated version of Borderlands exists in a finished or nearly-finished form, it could potentially be released on Blu-ray or 4K down the line. But if the film bombs this weekend, there may not be a big demand to see more versions of it.Borderlands is now playing in theaters.Borderlands Trailer Breakdown – All The Easter Eggs You Might Have MissedSee More

AMD is reportedly stepping back from directly competing with Nvidia in the pursuit of the flagship consumer GPU. As the company continues on its quest to gain more market share overall, it believes that scale is the answer and not having the outright fastest card on the market.That’s according to Jack Huynh, AMD’s senior vice president, who spoke with Tom’s Hardware at IFA 2024. With rumors regarding the upcoming RX-8000 series of AMD GPUs potentially dropping flagship models (which AMD hasn’t officially confirmed), Huynh was pressed to comment on the company’s long-term strategy for consumers and how it might differ to that of Nvidia. The answer seems to be something similar to what AMD attempted five years ago–surrendering the flagship fight to Nvidia while attempting to gain market sha…

Read moreOscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield has responded to a rumor that he’s coming back to play Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man movie from Sony Pictures and Marvel.Speaking to IndieWire, Garfield didn’t straight-up say no.

Of course, Garfield did end up being in No Way Home, alongside Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. For the next Spider-Man movie, Garfield said people should question what they read on the internet.”I mean, like the internet is a big place,” Garfield said. “I think there’s a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I’m afraid.” In July, Marvel boss Kevin Feige said the next Spider-Man m…
Read morePeter Walczak didn’t identify as a “car guy,” which makes his hobbyist superproject of choice all the more surprising: building a functional life-size version of the iconic Warthog jeep from the Halo games. By his own admission, the retired Navy test pilot has poured untold hours and thousands of dollars into this amazing prop, which he hopes to feature in Halo fan films someday in the future.Walczak grew up playing video games, but his interest in the hobby waned as he got older. However, when a coworker told him about a hot new video game console called the Xbox in the early 2000s, he decided to pick one up. His primary interest wasn’t Halo, though–it was Steel Battalion, an obscure Xbox exclusive that required its own intimidating secondary controller, which featured two joysticks and …
