Now Kevin Hart Has Joined Eli Roth’s BORDERLANDS
Eli Roth’s upcoming adaptation of the popular video game Borderlands will begin shooting this year. Cate Blanchett will play Lilith. And today we hear Kevin Hart (yes, that Kevin Hart) will Roland, “a skilled ex-soldier turned mercenary.”
Roth says: “I’m thrilled to be working with Kevin. Borderlands is a different kind of role for him, and we are excited to thrill audiences with a side of Kevin they’ve never seen before. He’s going to be an amazing Roland.”
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) will helm this adaptation of the bestselling video game from a screenplay by Emmy-winner Craig Mazin (Chernobyl). Avi Arad, Ari Arad, and Erik Feig produce. Randy Pitchford and Strauss Zelnick are executive producers.
