Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I'd really like to hear people's opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That's why I'm asking here, I hope that's ok.

Why, in the love of God, would you look at Roland, hulking, dour, tough as nails veteran soldier whose main character trait is being completely unflappable, and think "Kevin Hart"?

My theory is that the original casting was supposed to be The Rock, and then after that didn't work out, some casting person was like "The Rock and Kevin Hart often work together on stuff right? Maybe we can just use him instead". Dwayne Johnson would have basically been straight out of Central Casting for Roland.
