Jamie Lee Curtis Says There’s One Sole Reason She Signed On To Borderlands (And Now I See How The Movie Has Such A Stacked Cast)

As a long-time gamer and avid fan of the Borderlands franchise, I’m beyond excited for the upcoming movie adaptation. The prospect of seeing my favorite characters come to life on the big screen is an exhilarating thought. But what truly sets this movie apart from others is its all-star cast.

In about two weeks, eagerly waiting “Borderlands” fans will be treated to their long-anticipated desire as the upcoming video game adaptation hits theaters. Although some fans remain skeptical that the “Borderlands” film will match the success of the games, its major selling point is an incredibly gifted cast. The roster includes comedic legends like Jack Black and Kevin Hart, rising talent Ariana Greenblatt, and two major stars in Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis. Interestingly enough, it seems that one actor’s involvement led to the other joining the project.

Jamie Lee Curtis, the Instagram pioneer, shared on her Instagram account why she decided to join the “Borderlands” film project amidst a global pandemic. Her motivation? The opportunity to collaborate with Cate Blanchett. Her post states…

Observing Cate Blanchett perform in “The Borderlands” was an exhilarating and motivating experience. Her talent as an actress and commitment to activism, such as her work with refugees through @refugees, make her an inspiring figure for me. So inspired, I relocated to Budapest amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. She continues to be a role model, demonstrating the powerful connection between art and humanitarian efforts.

In plain terms, isn’t it understandable that Jamie Lee Curtis chose to join the “Borderlands” production, given Cate Blanchett’s exceptional talent? It comes as no surprise that numerous actors have joined the project for the same reason.

Jamie Lee Curtis, who genuinely enjoys video games and specifically Borderlands, most likely would have shown interest in the movie despite the timing of its production. However, under usual conditions, the production timeline might have deterred her. But then again, who follows normal rules when Cate Blanchett is part of the project?

It’s intriguing to ponder why Cate Blanchett chose to join the cast of Borderlands, given that she was the initial announcement. Since no other actors had been confirmed at the time, it wasn’t due to any co-stars. Perhaps she found the project irresistible for other reasons? The trailers suggest a tough and edgy character for Blanchett to portray, which could have been an allure. Alternatively, she might have sought to explore new territory by taking on this unconventional role in the film.

Regardless of the causes, the remarkable ensemble is a major draw for considering a watch of Borderlands. Although it leans heavily into the style of Guardians of the Galaxy, this isn’t necessarily a downside if the resulting film manages to deliver quality that’s almost on par.
