Borderlands (film)

''Borderlands'' is a 2024 American science fiction comedy film directed and co-written by Eli Roth, based on the video game series. Cate Blanchett stars as Lillith, an outlaw who forms an alliance with a team of misfits to find the missing daughter of the most powerful man in the universe. The ensemble cast also features Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramirez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The film was announced in August 2015, with Leigh Whannell in talks to direct. By February 2020, Roth was attached to direct from a screenplay by Craig Mazin. Casting took place from May 2020 to April 2021, with Blanchett cast first and others the following year. Principal photography began in April 2021 in Budapest, Hungary, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and wrapped in June. Two weeks of reshoots took place in early 2023, directed by Tim Miller due to Roth's commitments to ''Thanksgiving''. That June, Mazin removed his name from the project and was replaced by Joe Crombie.

''Borderlands'' premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California on August 6, 2024, and was released in the United States by Lionsgate on August 9. The film received negative reviews from critics and grossed $33 million against a budget of $110–120 million. Provided by Wikipedia
