'BORDERLANDS' ADAPTATION

WANTS CATE BLANCHETT

Cate Blanchett is negotiating around the lead role

After she played charmingly ruthless Hela in Thor, one of world's best ever actresses Cate Blanchett is currently in option over at Lionsgate for the role of Lilith in the possible new movie adaptation of video game BORDER LANDS. As Variety reports, in this sf western adventure, Lilith is a superhuman 'Siren' and one of only six women in the galaxy who have psychic abilities she also has a power to be invisible. The game is set on the frontier of a sci-fi universe — the planet of Pandora where we follow a group of Vault Hunters who are there in search of a mythical alien vault containing coveted alien technology, battling wildlife and raiders of all types along the way. Eli Roth is directing. You can currently watch Blanchett in Hulu's Mrs. America series and in Australian mini series Stateless.
