Exclusive: Shocking BTS Drama Unveiled! Rumored Writer Clear the Air on Borderlands Movie Involvement

The Last of Us showrunner, Craig Mazin, has denied being involved in the Borderlands movie. The movie, which is based on a popular video game series, is being written and directed by Eli Roth. Mazin, known for his work on Chernobyl and The Last of Us TV series, was initially credited as a co-writer on the Borderlands movie. However, his name has been replaced by the pseudonym Joe Crombie. In a recent interview with Variety, Mazin clarified that he is not a credited writer and cannot take any credit for the movie. He also stated that if Joe Crombie is a pseudonym, it is not him.

I am not a credited writer on the film, so I cannot assert any form of authorship for Borderlands, let alone "co-writing." I have come across the report regarding the pseudonym, which is completely untrue. I did not use a pseudonym. If the name being referred to is indeed a pseudonym, all I can say is... it's not mine.

Everything We Know About The Borderlands Movie

The upcoming Borderlands movie draws inspiration from the popular video games. It tells the story of Lilith's return to her home planet, Pandora, in search of Atlas' missing daughter. Along the way, she forms unexpected alliances with characters like Roland, Tiny Tina, Kreig, Tannis, and Claptrap. Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett leads the talented Borderlands cast, which also includes Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, and Édgar Ramírez. The film is directed by Roth, known for his work in the horror genre, and he is also one of the credited writers, alongside Joe Crombie, whose name is likely a pseudonym.

The Borderlands movie is currently facing significant challenges in its post-production phase, as reported recently. It has been acknowledged that reshoots were necessary, leading to the recruitment of director Tim Miller, known for his work on Deadpool, while director Eli Roth was occupied with his upcoming horror project. Numerous writers, including Gary Ross, Zak Olkewicz, Aaron Berg, Oren Uziel, Juel Taylor, Tony Rettenmaier, Chris Bremner, and Sam Levinson, were reportedly brought on board to contribute, although their involvement remains uncredited. Despite these difficulties, Jamie Lee Curtis remains optimistic that the Borderlands movie will still see a release next year.
