From Cate Blanchett using a real flamethrower to Philadelphia native Kevin Hart's jam-packed schedule, director Eli Roth dishes on his new film, 'Borderlands.'
Eli Roth is giving the inside scoop on his new star-studded film ‘Borderlands’ featuring Cate Blanchett, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt and Philadelphia’s very own, Kevin Hart. Roth chatted with FOX 29’s Kamryn Scrivens on what it was like to turn the Borderlands video game into a movie. "Randy Pitchford, the game creator, really waited a long time to make the movie and, you know, they came to me to do it, and I thought it was such a great opportunity," said Roth.
Roth also did not hold back while dishing on the work ethic of Philly actor and comedian Kevin Hart, who plays a seasoned mercenary on a mission named Roland. "The guy trains like a maniac," joked Roth. "He's in such good shape, but he's never gotten to do this in a movie. He's never gotten to really kick a– and be a bada–...so you're watching Kevin do stuff you've never seen him do before.
