Jamie Lee Curtis is in talks to star in Borderlands, the film adaptation of the 2009 video game. Curtis will play the role of Dr. Tannis a non-playable character in the game.
Director Eli Roth released a statement about the casting.
“Working with the iconic Jamie Lee Curtis has been a life long dream of mine, and I am so excited for her to bring her humor, warmth and brilliance to the role of Tannis.”
Curtis joins a cast that already includes Cate Blanchett as Lilith, a legendary thief and Kevin Hart as soldier Roland.
Lionsgate is banking on Borderlands to be a tentpole franchise going forward. Video game movies have had a mixed history of success at best, so we’ll see if this talented cast can provide Lionsgate the boost they’re looking for.
