Catching up with Cate Blanchett

Famous epic loot collector Cate Blanchett might star in the Borderlands movie

If there’s one thing we know about two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett (other than the fact that she’s won two Oscars), it’s that she’s a big fan of raiding with her squad, min-maxing her main, and grabbing tons and tons of that sweet epic loot. Golds only. No blues, no purps. It makes perfect sense, then, that she’d want to star in Eli Roth’s adaptation of the Borderlands video games, which we heard was in the works back in February. Blanchett’s potential involvement isn’t a sure-thing yet, but Deadline says that she’s currently “in talks” to star as Lilith, one of the four playable characters from the original Borderlands game and one of the more memorable characters of the whole series—which is mostly because she’s actually kind of cool and interesting and doesn’t constantly screech out bad jokes and meme references. Blanchett previously appeared in Roth’s The House With A Clock In Its Walls. Read More
