'Borderlands' villain Handsome Jack gets his own live action short film entitled 'Jack's Exodus'

Fans of the exciting video game series Borderlands will be happy to hear that the developers over at Machinima have teamed up with Manifest Film and Veritas Gold to bring gamers a great short film entitled Jack's Exodus. This live action reimagining of the popular game villain will be shown at the 2014 Games on Film Festival in Washington DC next week, with other viewing options available through Machinima.

Gammasquad reports:

Jack's Exodus was written and directed by Anthony Pietromonaco, starring Joel Hebner as Handsome Jack; Eric Gable as Zero; and Eric Jeong, Jenny Burpee, and Tibault Laport as the Psychos. The story takes place after Borderlands 2 and follows Handsome Jack as he respawns in Pandora and has to get back to the Hyperion Satellite before he loses his position as President of the Hyperion Corporation.

The most interesting part of this project is that a series could develop out of this short film! Watch a teaser trailer for Jack's Exodus righ here:
