First Footage Of Eli Roth’s Borderlands Movie Featured At CinemaCon

Lionsgate shared the first footage of Eli Roth‘s (Cabin Fever, Hostile) upcoming film adaptation of the best-selling Borderlands video game during their CinemaCon panel. The one-minute-long clip features stars Kevin Hart, Jack Black as the voice of the robot Claptrap, and Cate Blanchett. While the footage itself hasn’t been shared on the internet yet, The Hollywood Reporter gave one hell of a description. “Lionsgate showed approximately a minute of electric footage that showcased Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett as she’s never been seen before, in a fire-engine-red wig, toting a gun and fighting her way through a vibrantly colored cityscape. Kevin Hart also appeared as did Jack Black voicing the robot Claptrap that unexpectedly takes a bullet from Blanchett’s gun with a punchline to follow.” Edgar Ramirez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, and Haley Bennett also star.

James Wan Confirms Star Of ‘The Nun’ Is Back For Sequel

Earlier this week we reported that Warner Bros. confirmed that the sequel The Nun 2 is indeed on its way during the presentation at CinemaCon.
