Hollywood icon Jamie Lee Curtis has sent fans into a frenzy with the first official glimpse of her dramatic transformation for the upcoming Borderlands movie.
A Radical Reinvention
The Oscar-winning actress appears almost unrecognisable as eccentric scientist Dr. Patricia Tannis in newly released images from the video game adaptation. Sporting wild grey hair, thick-rimmed glasses and a practical outfit, Curtis completely embodies the beloved character from Gearbox Software's hit franchise.
Star-Studded Wasteland
Directed by horror maestro Eli Roth, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including:
- Cate Blanchett as vault hunter Lilith
- Kevin Hart as soldier Roland
- Jack Black providing the voice of robot Claptrap
The images reveal Curtis's Tannis examining mysterious alien artifacts, hinting at the planet Pandora's secrets that drive the plot.
From Scream Queen to Sci-Fi
This marks another bold career move for Curtis, who recently won her first Academy Award for Everything Everywhere All at Once. The 65-year-old continues to defy expectations, transitioning from horror royalty to blockbuster sci-fi.
Lionsgate plans to release Borderlands in UK cinemas on August 9, 2024. Fans of the game series and newcomers alike are eagerly awaiting this star-powered interpretation of the chaotic, loot-filled universe.
