Gearbox's Borderlands movie continues to hoover up an improbable roster of Hollywood talent, this time with the news that Jamie Lee Curtis has officially signed on to star in a key role.
A film adaptation of Gearbox's popular post-apocalyptic comedy shooter was first floated all the way back in 2015, but it wasn't until last year that the cogs started turning in earnest – with the surprise announcement that Hostel director Eli Roth would be at the helm.
More unexpected still was the news, arriving last May, that Oscar winner Cate Blanchett (who starred in Roth's 2018 adaptation of The House with a Clock in its Walls) would be taking a leading role in the Borderlands movie as Lilith, described as a "siren and legendary thief equipped with magical skills".
