Anyone wondering how Eli Roth nabbed Galadriel for a post-apocalyptic video game adaptation can thank the pandemic
COVID-19 drove people to do many wild things. It’s not that surprising, considering the pandemic began with the President of these United States suggesting people get some sun and inject bleach to stave off illness. But of all the toilet seat licking, “Imagine” singing, and anti-vax grifting, perhaps the most surprising thing to happen these awful four years was Cate Blanchett joining the cast of Borderlands .
Blanchett, who says she gravitates toward “the crazy asks,” was spending “a lot of time in the garden” during lockdown. This helped her get on Roth’s wavelength as she was “using the chainsaw a little too freely.” When Roth reached out to Blanchett, her presumably terrified husband, who had watched his wife using her chainsaw with reckless abandon amid a global shutdown, told her, “‘This film could save your life.’” Of course, accepting the role came with its own problems.
