The cast for Eli Roth‘s feature film adaptation of the Borderlands video games includes Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, and Collider reports today that Jamie Lee Curtis is in talks.

“She’s nearing a deal to play Dr. Patricia Tannis,” Collider’s Jeff Sneider reports. Update: this scoop has now been officially confirmed via a press release from Lionsgate.

Blanchett is playing Lilith, meanwhile, while Hart has been cast as Roland.

Tannis is described as “an archeologist on Pandora who might have the key to finding the vault, but whose complicated history with Lilith (Blanchett) isn’t going to help.”

“Working with the iconic Jamie Lee Curtis has been a life long dream of mine, and I am so excited for her to bring her humor, warmth and brilliance to the role of Tannis,” said Roth.
