Jack Black has been cast in “Borderlands,” Lionsgate’s movie adaptation of the popular video game. He joins an A-list ensemble that includes Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Black will voice the role of Claptrap, a persistently sarcastic robot that isn’t all that invested in the survival of his teammates. Eli Roth, who previously collaborated with Black and Blanchett on the 2018 family comedy “The House With a Clock in Its Walls,” is directing “Borderlands.”

“I am so excited to reunite with Jack, this time in the recording booth,” Roth said. “Claptrap is the funniest character in the game, and Jack is perfect to bring him to the big screen.”
