Craig Mazin, writer and showrunner on HBO’s smash hit The Last of Us TV adaptation (and creator of HBO and Sky Atlantic’s acclaimed prestige drama Chernobyl), has removed his name from Gearbox’s long-in-the-works Borderlands movie amid what appears to be an increasingly tumultuous post-production period for the project.
A Borderlands movie was first announced back in 2015, but it wasn’t until five years later, when Gearbox announced Hostel director Eli Roth would be directing from a script by Mazin, that the project finally appeared to be moving forward in earnest.
Things progressed quickly after Roth and Mazin’s involvement was confirmed, with a succession of major acting talent – including the likes Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black – all signing up to join the star-studded cast prior to the start of shooting in 2021.
