Lionsgate’s been developing this video game adaptation for almost a decade, but it was probably worth the wait to get that Cate Blanchett/Kevin Hart team-up you never knew you wanted. In Borderlands, Blanchett plays Lilith, a space outlaw who rounds up a team on the planet Pandora (no, not that one) to help her find the missing daughter of “the universe’s most powerful S.O.B.” On the team: mercenary Roland (Hart), demolitionist Tiny Tina (Greenblatt) and her bodyguard Krieg (Munteau), mad scientist Tannis (Curtis), and smartass robot Claptrap (Black).
