Gear Box casting for Lilith is open

Why not try out to be Lilith in the new Borderlands 2?
Requirements:
You must be female, between the ages of 18 and 30.
You must able to provide your own transportation and be on-set in the Dallas, TX area for testing and shooting during the first three weeks of December.
You do not need to have any past acting or modeling experience, but you will be expected to follow direction and exhibit a range of facial expressions and emotions for the camera.
We will choose a candidate that has sufficient plausible resemblance to the character Lilith from the video game Borderlands.

Whats this for...

I mean she isn't a playable character because of Gearboes stupid decision to make them NPCs....because they want to give them character development...what....you can't do both, other studios do it with their main characters don't see why you guys can't.

I mean they should of been in the sequel instead of characters which are basicaly improved versions of the characters we already came to know and love. They could of easily gave those improvments to the vault hunters. Even the plot sort of revolves round them, handsome Jack is going round telling people he opened the vault, if you were these guys wouldn't you want to get your revenge instead of another person.

Honestly they should of stuck with the vault hunters, they're even marketing with them by the looks of it. Hope there will be DLC where you play as them in a mission leading up to the events of Borderlands 3

I think the new characters are pointless aswell. The Gunzerker is basicaly what Brick - The Berzeker could of been if they were the main characters again and Gearbox had to come up with new abilities and improvments.

I wanted to import my save data from the first Borderlands so I could carry some stuff over, maybe even the weapons I have in my Bank.

Reibooi5285d ago

Why exactly are they recasting her in the first place? While she didn't have a ton of lines in the original she did talk(mostly when you killed things and she had a funny little one liner)

Collen Clinkenbeard played her in the original and is a very good voice actress I don't see why they don't just bring her back.

thrasherv35285d ago

Who said they aren't bringing her back? This is for live action Lilith similar to the Guardian Angel in the first game. For the Guardian Angel in BL1 there was two separate actresses for each role: one for the voice and another for live action footage. The requirements say nothing about voice, only for facial expressions.

Reibooi5285d ago (Edited 5285d ago )

I was unaware that the voice of the Angel in the original game was different then the person who played her so I had just assumed the voice over would be done by whoever gets cast for this.

Although thinking about it a little more it doesn't make sense that that would be the case as they would no doubt want someone with experience to do real voice over work. And your right I don't see anything about voice work listed. Seems I just jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Still I hope they do bring back Collen to do the voice of Lilith. Honestly it would not surprise me if they recast her because she had next to no lines in the original but she really did fit the character.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne636d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000636d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan635d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius635d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot636d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake636d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot636d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B635d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake636d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B635d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack635d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal635d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack635d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
