EXCLUSIVE: Eli Roth’s feature version of videogame Borderlands has set an Aug. 9, 2024 release date. The Lionsgate pic will be dated against Universal’s Speak No Evil and MGM’s Flint Strong.
In the movie, Lilith (played by 2x Oscar winner Cate Blanchett), is an infamous treasure hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Edgar Ramirez), the universe’s most powerful S.O.B.

These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power.
