Jamie Lee Curtis has joined the cast of "Borderlands". She will be starring alongside Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart.
The film will be an adaptation of the popular video game and will be directed by Eli Roth. Craig Mazin wrote the screenplay.
Roth said, "Working with the iconic Jamie Lee Curtis has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I am so excited for her to bring her humor, warmth, and brilliance to the role of Tannis."
"Jamie is unique in that her characters have depth and gravitas, but are also always hugely entertaining - she commands the screen. At this point, Jamie is like family to us - after bringing so much to ‘Knives Out' and hosting last summer's ‘Lionsgate Live' fundraiser to help theater workers, we could not be more thrilled to be working with her again," said Lionsgate Motion Pictures Group President Nathan Kahane.
Curtis will be playing the role of Tannis, an archaeologist who is sister to Blanchett's character, Lilith.
The "Borderlands" game debuted in 2009 and was followed by several franchise titles.
