Borderlands movie: Jamie Lee Curtis joins film in key role

Another big-name actor has been added to the star-studded line-up of the upcoming film adaptation of hit game Borderlands movie, as Jamie Lee Curtis is reportedly going to be taking the role of Patricia Tannis.

According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Curtis will be portraying the character of Tannis, an archeologist stationed on the planet of Pandora. While she might hold the key to finding a special vault with alien weapons that the main protagonist is looking for, their troubled history together may get in their way.

Curtis will be joined by Cate Blanchett, who'll play the main protagonist and legendary thief Lilith, and Kevin Hart, who'll take on the role of a skilled soldier named Roland. Inglourious Basterds and Baywatch's Eli Roth will be directing, while Avi and Ari Arad will produce alongside Erik Feig. Despite the numerous controversies surrounding him, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford will also produce the movie.

The Borderlands film is expected to be a loose adaptation of the popular franchise, which constitutes a set of role-playing first-person shooters set on the planet Pandora. After being ravaged and abandoned by larger corporations in search of treasure, the left-behind workforce takes over the planet and turns it into a lawless land. However, following the discovery of mystical Vaults, the corporations return to the planet to plunder its wealth.
