As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast, I must admit that the prospect of seeing my favorite video game “Borderlands” come to life on the big screen was nothing short of exhilarating. However, the icing on the cake has been the camaraderie and friendship I’ve forged with the stellar cast, particularly Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Initially mentioning that Cate Blanchett’s participation in “Borderlands” was the primary factor behind her agreement to the project, Jamie Lee Curtis later expressed that their collaboration surpassed her initial expectations.
Curtis shared with The Hollywood Reporter during a fan event in Los Angeles for the film on Tuesday, “I didn’t realize that we would end up as friends.” He admitted, “Of course, you hope it will happen, but with filming and traveling so much, it’s not always easy to stay connected. I had an amazing experience working with her, and it’s been a joy to form a friendship with someone I’ve admired for years. We’ve shared some very personal moments, and she truly is a wonderful person.”

In this movie directed by Eli Roth, who is an adaptation of a well-known video game on the big screen, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt, Edgar Ramírez, and Florian Munteanu are among the cast members. Hart expressed his delight about working with Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis, referring to them as “two incredible legends.” He added that it was a privilege for him to learn from them, and moreover, he felt proud to have acted alongside such notable figures at this stage of his career.
In the words of Kevin Hart, he had an incredible time collaborating with Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis on the set of #Borderlands.

When adapting the game, Roth emphasized his desire to preserve the essence of its playful, whimsical, and rebellious nature, devoid of rules and filled with utter chaos. He preferred a lively and colorful visual style, contrasting it with a gloomy and dystopian one. He explained that while they could maintain the game’s design and weaponry details, there was ample room for modification, be it in casting or the storyline. In essence, he wanted a light-hearted, entertaining film, reminiscent of watching popcorn movies.
To those who are doubtful yet fond of games, Roth’s sentiment is: “Keep an open heart and enjoy the journey. While the game is extremely mature, this movie is PG-13, suitable for all ages, including children. If you want others to experience the game, invite them to watch the film. It’s a unique story with beloved characters, so let yourself be drawn in and have a wonderful time.”
Borderlands hits theaters on Friday.
