After Kevin Hart & Cate Blanchett Jamie Lee Curtis is joining the project.
Curtis will play Tannis, an archeologist on Pandora who might have the key to finding the vault, but whose complicated history with Lilith (Blanchett) isn’t going to help.
Craig Mazin wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay.

Avi Arad and Ari Arad are producing through their Arad Productions banner with Erik Feig of Picturestart. Exec producers are Randy Pitchford, EP of the Borderlands video game franchise and founder of Gearbox Entertainment, and Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of 2K parent Take-Two Interactive.

Patricia Tannis is a scientist and archaeologist who specializes in Eridian artifacts and technology. She was once employed by the Dahl corporation to unearth the hidden Vault on the planet of Pandora.
During her stay on Pandora, she had several psychological breakdowns as a result of the harsh environment and the death of most of her colleagues. As a result of these breakdowns, Tannis started to reflect personalities outwards to immobile objects to cope with her loneliness.
One such object was her ECHO Recorder.

wtf is up with these casting decisions... this is now the second time they casted someone I really like but in a role that is super weird for them... wtf? are they throwing dice on who gets to play who?

 

[hybrid_birth]

Is it bad that i want to see an old ladies bewbs? I mean 30 years ago they were nice in the movies.

Wonder who moxxi is going to be played by.

 

[Desudzer10]

My god...Besides DQ, Borderlands is my favorite series ever. When they announced a movie i was excited as i can be. But how can anyone be excited with these casting choices. They obviously know nothing about the series

 

[StylishMGTOW]

Border-age

Borderlands, more like... Bordering Seniority, amirite?

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Calling it, Dave batista or the rock as brick.

Because games are bigger than movies nowadays and those Hollywood actors need to pay for their lifestyles, so their agents convince producers there are people willing to watch these movies for the actor brand.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Lot of grannies.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[01011001]

I'll take Jamie Lee Curtis in anything really... but the whole cast choices are just so weird. but maybe that is all on purpose and there's some crazy artistic vision behind it all, and we all will be blown away by this film. I would set the chances for this to be about as likely as Dream's Minecraft luck, but who knows xD

 

[Zambayoshi]

Well at least the woke brigade can't complain that the casting choices are ageist.

 

[NahaNago]

 

[akaFullmetal]

I wonder who they could cast as Brick....

But we'll probably get this instead....

Seth Rogen.

 

[kiphalfton]

She used to have an epic body. Maybe she still does.

 

[Futaleufu]

She used to have an epic body. Maybe she still does.

She was the only reason to watch Perfect.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Jamie Lee Curtis rules. The last Halloween movie was solid

So far all the announced casting choices are odd, but all good performers. Hopefully the script is legit

 

[UniformDeliverance]

Perhaps this movie takes place in the future? Might make sense, perhaps there’s a substantial time jump planned before B4.

 

[Soltype]

The weird part is the casting isn't but they're about 25 years too late.

 

[bitbydeath]

Jamie’s a fantastic actress.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Hope they fix the humor, it makes you vomit in B3.

 

[Cravis]

Unless they plan to rotoscope it like A Scanner Darkly then it’s an easy pass for me. I already know the answer to that unfortunately.

 

[lh032]

I really don't understand what they are doing.

This movie supposed to be market to the fans i believed, so.....they did not adapt the video game at all?
Amazing decision.

 

[captainraincoat]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Anyone know who's gonna play Ellie? Melissa McCarthy?

 

[Mistershine.]

Anyone know who's gonna play Ellie? Melissa McCarthy?

The way they're casting the movie? Probably Betty fucking White.

 

[Birdo]

This sounds so crap, I expect Dwayne Johnson any day now.

Exclusive: 'Borderlands' Star Kevin Hart Teases Eli Roth's Upcoming Adaptation: "It Looks Like the Game"

Kevin Hart talks about stepping into the Borderlands world and what he can tease about the Eli Roth movie.

collider.com

Our own Steve Weintraub asked Hart about stepping into the Borderlands world and what he could tease about the project.

"Once again, it's all about the shock factor. This is me stepping into action full speed ahead, no comedy. I'm responsible for the action," Hart said, revealing that this is a definite change of pace for him in terms of his career. He also spoke about an early conversation he had with Roth in regards to proving that he could take on the part of Roland:

"He said, 'Kevin, if you tell me that you can show up prepared and that you want to come in and knock this out, then you're my guy.' So I went, I did some training with some Navy SEALS, I got real good with weapons, I got real good with my hand-to-hand combat. And the experience here in Budapest filming Borderlands has been unreal. Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, myself, Flo [Munteanu], Ariana [Greenblatt]... I mean, our cast is unreal. He truly is knocking this movie out the park. And I can say visually, it's like nothing you've ever seen. Somehow I find myself in these spaces where you get a part of these IPs that are hitting the big screen and have the potential to become so much more. ... Borderlands, nobody knows what to expect, but if this thing comes and it smacks people correctly, you could be looking at Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3. It's that good."

This movie ll be great or flop hard, there is no middle ground

High-quality actor? are we talking about the same person here. I'm pretty sure Jamie Lee Curtis would take whatever role she was offered at this point.
