Explore the Borderlands Set with Eli Roth

Imagine a scenario you probably never thought possible: you’re taking an exclusive tour of a movie set right from the comfort of wherever you’re reading this. It’s the whole package—set designs, thrilling stunts, and even the actors themselves—all guided by director Eli Roth.

We’re thrilled to introduce this incredibly cool video, fresh from the set of the upcoming “Borderlands” film adaptation. Eli Roth teamed up with Light Sail VR to capture some mind-blowing footage featuring stars like Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Ariana Greenblatt. Although the video is optimal for VR viewing, trust us, it’s still pretty impressive in a regular 2D format.

Eli Roth shared in a statement how passionate he is about VR, having worked with GoPro 360 since 2018. During the pandemic, he realized traditional set visits were out of the question, so he looked for a way to bring fans into the heart of the “Borderlands” experience. Roth wanted everyone to see the intricate sets crafted by the talented art department in Budapest, get a glimpse into the actors’ rehearsal process, and watch Cate Blanchett and Ariana Greenblatt as they perform high-adrenaline stunts like running and jumping off a truck bed that’s falling apart. Collaborating with Light Sail VR resulted in a stunning experience that places viewers in the middle of this chaotic world, giving them a real sense of being on set amidst all the craziness.

And now, here it is for you to enjoy.

In “Borderlands,” Cate Blanchett plays a legendary bounty hunter who returns to her home planet Pandora on a mission to find the missing daughter of the villainous Atlas, portrayed by Edgar Ramírez. Along her journey, she partners with a colorful crew, embarking on a quest to unravel one of Pandora’s greatest mysteries. The film features a star-studded cast including Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and Jamie Lee Curtis, and it’s set to hit theaters on August 9.
