Blanchett stars in Borderlands as Lilith, a rebellious outlaw with a mysterious past who reluctantly returns to Pandora, her home planet, to find the missing daughter of Atlas, the world’s most powerful S.O.B.

Based on Gearbox Software’s popular action role-playing first-person looter shooter video game of the same name, Borderlands debuted its first trailer and images in February. Directed by Eli Roth, Borderlands began filming in Hungary in 2021, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
