The eagerly awaited Borderlands movie showcases a remarkable main ensemble including Jack Black and Kevin Hart, alongside the unexpected inclusion of Cate Blanchett in the leading role. What was the driving force behind this selection?
During an interview with Empire, Blanchett, renowned for her varied performances in The Lord of the Rings and Marvel movies, disclosed the reason that attracted her to Eli Roth’s Borderlands, providing a rather surprising explanation.
“I am drawn to the more daring projects, those that stretch the limits of my creativity,” she expressed, unveiling the rationale for her involvement in lighter productions such as Thor: Ragnarok and The House with a Clock in its Walls. Contemplating her choice, Blanchett remarked, “I believe the pandemic might have influenced my decision-making process – spending time at home and engaging in unconventional pursuits like gardening with a chainsaw. Even my spouse quipped that this movie could be a lifeline for me.” Her reaction is simultaneously witty and contemplative, eliciting speculation on how the Covid-19 lockdown and industry deceleration impacted her professional decisions.
