The actors of the movie "Borderlands" explained why they participated in the film: The epidemic was too boring

While Borderlands is a very popular game series, live-action film adaptations of games are not necessarily successful, so when Cate Blanchett, an Australian actress who has won two Academy Awards, four Golden Globes, four BAFTAs and three Screen Actors Guild Awards, confirmed that she would be starring in the film, many were puzzled.

In a recent interview with Empire magazine, she personally explained why she got involved in the project, saying that it actually consists of two parts. She said that "craziness" and "things I can't imagine" are what are attractive to her now, which is also what the Borderlands movie has.

On the other hand, she also said that she was bored during the epidemic. She said: "I think there may be a little bit of the madness during the epidemic. I spent a lot of time in the garden, using the chainsaw casually. My husband said to me, 'This movie may save your life.'"

Just like all players playing games at home during the epidemic, this famous actress can also choose to star in a film or television adaptation of a game - of course not everyone can do this.

She actually experienced the game itself. She revealed in the interview that she bought a PS5 for the movie and played the game with her husband: "I want to know the limitations of the game and the fans' love for this character. I was really attracted by the whole world. Including those cosplayers, and makeup tutorials on YouTube."

The Borderlands movie will be released on August 9. In the movie, Cate will play Lilith. There are also other big names, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Hart, Ariana Greenblatt, Gina Gershon and Jack Black, who voices the little idiot.
