Kevin Hart reassures Borderlands fans about movie adaptation

Kevin Hart has promised 'Borderlands' fans that the movie will draw heavily on the video game franchise.

The 41-year-old actor - who will play Ronald in the upcoming blockbuster adaptation of the series - has reassured gamers that the film won't stray too far from its source material in terms of its visual style.

He told Collider: "The fanbase that follows the game is already huge and unreal, but I don't think they even have a clear understanding of how close we're coming to the game.

"It looks like the game. It's unbelievable, truly unbelievable."

The 'Ride Along' star previously opened up about his role in the adaptation of Gearbox's games, and insisted the movie will be more than a "great video game adaptation".

He said: "We want to make a great science-fiction movie.

"We don't just want to make a great video game adaptation. We want it to be a great sci-fi movie period... we want this to be a gateway drug for the non-Borderlands fans.

"The great thing about the game is there's so much to it that you're telling 80 hours of story and people can live in the world. We have to create a different experience that has to be thrilling in a different way and has all the things that the fans love."
