Nah he got his name off completely and didn't have to use a pseudonym. It was Craig Mazin (Last of Us, Chernobyl) and it was one of the most coveted scripts in Hollywood at the time. Eli Roth rewrote so much he was like fuck this shit and got it all wiped.

It's not even that bad, some article claimed they sold overseas distribution rights for like 60m.
Don't these crappy video game movies usually do well in China and Korea?

Zathura. I disagree, I thought it was pretty good for what it was. It was certainly no Jumanji, but it had some charm to it, and this was before Kristen Stewart became a cunt. I rewatched it in the past year or two and it was decent. Not saying to rush out and watch it or anything, but it was fine.

That's the one. You're right it wasn't bad, but it just seemed like a rehash of Jumanji with a different coat of paint. Movie has to be 20 or more years old at this point, and it's probably even better on a current viewing when compared to modern Hollywood.

That was what it was supposed to be. They wanted Jumanji in space to build off it's popularity.

The biggest downside to all this is that they will blame the failure on the Borderlands IP and not their shitty decisions. Which will lead to them falling back on remakes and shit instead of trying more new stuff. Could Borderlands be made into a good movie? Definitely. Just be faithful to the damn IP.

Kevin Smith had a blubbering soy boy meltdown over Zack & Miri making 10 mill opening weekend and that only had a 24 mill budget.
In comparison one would think Eli Roth would be looking to eat his own bullet.
