Eli Roth said he wanted to ensure he wasn’t breaking the rules of the universe while adapting the project. He noted that Randy encouraged him to go for it, clarifying that the games and the movie are separate entities.
Roth admitted his love for sci-fi films like Fifth Element, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Escape From New York drew him to the project. He was excited to blend elements of Mad Max and Star Wars into the film’s universe. Roth was eager to work with Cate Blanchett, having previously collaborated with her on The House With a Clock in Its Walls. He said her involvement made it easier to attract other A-list stars, like Jack Black, to the cast.
