The Renowned Deadpool Director Takes the Reins of the Long-Awaited Borderlands Movie Adaptation as the Movie Begins “Reshoots”

After being stuck in the development loop for years, the highly anticipated Borderlands movie adaptation is finally showing hopes of finishing. But in its last laps, the movie is reportedly entering its “reshoot” phase which according to the fans may not be a good sign at all.

But the good news is, these reshoots will be conducted by none other than Tim Miller, the renowned director of the highly successful superhero movie franchise, Deadpool. This last-minute change was made due to the unavailability of the previous director, Eli Roth who is busy with his new project based on a mock trailer of one of Quentin Tarantino’s movies.
