It may seem strange that Oscar winner Cate Blanchett agreed to star in Borderlands. The actress told Empire about the reason for her decision.
In May 2020, it was first reported that Blanchett was in talks to participate in the adaptation of Borderlands. At that time, it was assumed that the reason was big money or even love for the game.
In reality, Kate was bored because of the COVID-19 pandemic, isolation, and lack of work, so she took on the film. Blanchett says she likes "crazy" roles that people do not expect from her. However, she also admitted to a little "COVID madness":
"I spent a lot of time in the garden, using the chainsaw too freely. My husband said, 'This film could save your life,'" Blanchett said.
The time when the rumors of a role in Borderlands surfaced and the reason explaining the decision essentially correspond to each other. Those who see a mismatch in the image of the actress and the content in which she agreed to star can be satisfied with the explanation of a light temporary madness.
To prepare for her role in Borderlands, Cate Blanchett bought a PS5 and started playing games. She also immersed herself in the Borderlands community, watched cosplayers and super fans online. The actress says she had a fun time with all of this.
The Borderlands movie, directed by Eli Roth, is based on the series of games developed by Gearbox. In addition to Lilith played by Cate Blanchett, the film will also feature Roland (Kevin Hart), Claptrap (Jack Black), Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), Krieg (Florian Munteanu), and others. Borderlands will be released in Ukraine on August 8.
