Craig Mazin may have co-written Borderlands, the star-studded adaptation of the Gearbox video game, but you'll be hard-pressed to find his name in the credits once the movie finally releases. Per the Writer's Guild website, the film's writers are currently listed as Eli Roth and Joe Crombie, which many assumed was a pseudonym for Mazin.
According to IGN, though, Mazin has "nothing to do with the pen name Joe Crombie." Later, Mazin confirmed as such to Variety. "I am not a credited writer on the film, so I cannot claim any kind of authorship of Borderlands, much less co-writing," The Last of Us co-creator said in a statement. "I did see the report about the pseudonym, which is false. I did not use a pseudonym. If the name in question is indeed a pseudonym, all I can say is… it's not mine."
