The Borderlands movie has a new release date. The film is now set to be released on August 9, 2024, meaning it's still more than a year away. The announcement of the release date comes after writer Craig Mazin confirmed he is no longer involved with the project and won't be a credited writer.

The Borderlands film wrapped shooting in June 2021, but there have been a number of re-shoots that have led to the film getting pushed further out into the future.

Mazin, who wrote the HBO shows Chernobyl and The Last of Us, was announced as a co-writer for the Borderlands movie in 2020. Movie scripts often change and get new writers over time, so it's no surprise that Mazin moved on. He is now focusing on The Last of Us Season 2.
