Making movies is far from being a walk in the park. Many productions experience a multitude of problems during their production, which causes directors to abandon the project, the script to be rewritten, and so on. Unfortunately, it seems that the live-action adaptation of Borderlands is in trouble, with a report even indicating that screenwriter Craig Mazin is embarrassed and wants to avoid being linked to the film. In recent years, Craig Mazin has become one of the most recognized writers and producers in the medium thanks to high-profile projects like Chernobyl and The Last of Us. Precisely, he is now experiencing a brilliant moment in his career thanks to his participation in the adaptation of the Naughty Dog game. Although reports indicated that the American creative co-wrote the most recent draft of the Borderlands movie, it appears that these claims are false.

Did Craig Mazin use a pseudonym? The scriptwriter answers

This week, the World of Reel media published an article detailing that the adaptation of the Gearbox video game goes through “post-production hell”, so Craig Mazin decided to remove his real name and use the pseudonym “Joe Crombie” to avoid that is related to the project. Now, the producer of The last of Us addressed these rumors and denied that he had any kind of authorship in the Borderlands tape. Speaking to the Variety portal, he denied the report and stated that he did not use a “pseudonym.” “I am not a credited writer on the film, so I cannot claim any kind of authorship of Borderlands, let alone [decir que soy] ‘co-writer’. Yes, I saw the report about the pseudonym, which is false. I did not use a pseudonym. If the name in question is a pseudonym, all I can say is that it is not mine,” said the creative. Unfortunately, the adaptation of the Gearbox and 2K video game seems to be far from seeing the light of day. At the beginning of 2023, it was confirmed that he had reshoots under the vision of a new director. Also, a new screenwriter, Zak Olkewicz, joined the project to incorporate new material. Will the end result be a disaster? It is impossible to know, but there are many doubts in the air. But tell us, do you think this film is destined to fail? Let us read you in the comments.
