Cate Blanchett Wields a Flamethrower as ‘Borderlands’ Drops a Gonzo, Colorful New Trailer at CinemaCon


Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart and Eli Roth share new 'Borderlands' trailer at CinemaCon

Even Eli Roth can’t believe that two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett was willing to learn to twirl guns and shoot baddies in “ Borderlands,” the director’s gonzo adaptation of the popular video game. Roth noted that since people loved seeing Blanchett wield a baton in “Tár,” where she portrayed a fictional world-famous conductor embroiled in controversy, the filmmaker said he might as well “put a flamethrower in her hand.” In “Borderlands,” in which Blanchett sports a fiery red bob, she’s surrounded by the starry ensemble of Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black and “Barbie” breakout Ariana Greenblatt.
