The movie, which has been in development since 2015, features an ensemble cast led by Cate Blanchett as Lilith, alongside Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Directed by Eli Roth and co-written by Roth and Joe Crombie, the Borderlands movie is based on the hit video game franchise developed by Gearbox Software.

The movie's official synopsis reveals that Lilith, an infamous outlaw, returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe's most powerful figure, Atlas. She teams up with a diverse group of characters including Roland, Tiny Tina, Krieg, Tannis, and Claptrap to battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits in a quest to protect the missing girl and potentially save the universe.
Despite facing challenges during production, including extensive reshoots directed by Tim Miller, the Borderlands movie is set to hit theaters on August 9, 2024.
