At the beginning of the year, it became known that the studio Lionsgate returned to work on the adaptation of the game Borderlands. The project got a director in the person of Eli Roth, and the major did not dwell on this. The first information about the cast of the film adaptation appeared on the Internet. Cate Blanchett is reported to be in talks with Lionsgate. If all goes well, the winner of two Oscars will play Lilith - one of six Sirens with incredible abilities. She is a playable character in the first Borderlands game. As for Blanchett, she has already worked with Alai Roth on the fantasy horror film Mystery of the House with a Clock, so her interest in the Borderlands adaptation is understandable. The script for the adaptation was written by Emmy winner Craig Mazin, but it is not yet known what the plot of the film will be. The original series is set in a future where corporations vie for control of planetary colonization. Rumor has it that on Pandora, one of these planets, there is a mysterious Vault, which is fraught with valuable alien technology ... If Lionsgate plans to turn Borderlands into a full-fledged franchise, getting a star of Cate Blanchett's caliber is one of the top priorities for producers, especially since Lilith plays an important role in the story of the entire series.
