In a recent interview, Cate Blanchett revealed that she purchased a PS5 and Borderlands to get to know the character Lilith.<\/p>\n
Blanchett will portray the gunslinging Pandoran in the new Eli Roth take on the world of Borderlands. Roth is known for his graphic works, and Borderlands\u2019 grim comic subtext is a welcome canvas for the controversial horror filmmaker.<\/p>\n
Roth and Blanchett will team up again after their recent adaptation of John Ballair\u2019s The House with a Clock in Its Walls. The movie included stars like Jack Black, Twin Peaks royalty Kyle MacLachlan, and God of War\u2019s Sunny Suljic.<\/p>\n
Blanchett told Empire<\/a> of her Covid-19 woes of having too much time on her hands. Saying, \u201cThe crazy asks are usually the things I gravitate towards. I think there also may have been a little Covid madness \u2014 I was spending a lot of time in the garden, using the chainsaw a little too freely.\u201d<\/p>\n The legendary actor, known for roles such as Galadriel and Hela, said her husband played a big part in convincing her to take on the role of Lilith. She told the movie magazine that he even went as far as to say, \u201cThis film could save your life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy thumbs can barely control a phone, but I bought a PS5 and we played each other,\u201d she says of her process to grips with the crazy world of Pandora. Blanchett continued, \u201cI wanted to know the limits of the game and what fans loved about the character. I got really absorbed in that whole world. The cosplayers. The YouTube make-up tutorials.\u201d<\/p>\n Lilith, Roland, Tiny Tina, Krieg, Tannis, and Claptrap are all represented in the Borderlands movie trailer<\/a> we broke down and what we know so far.<\/p>\n Fans have, however, been left disappointed<\/a> that the movie has been given a PG-13 rating. The world of the Pandoran Vault and the stories surrounding it are entirely made for mature audiences, and Roth generally likes buckets of gore and blood in most movie adaptations.<\/p>\n Roth has had to battle comparisons with Marvel\u2019s superhero team-up, Guardians of the Galaxy. He said, \u201cI was very conscious of not remaking Guardians. (Audiences will) see the movie, and they\u2019ll see it\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want (audiences) to be like, \u2018Oh, that was a good video game movie.\u2019 I want them to say, \u2018That was a really fun science-fiction film, period,\u2019\u201d he concluded<\/a>.<\/p>\n
