Based on the young adult novel, the first in a trilogy, by James Dashner, The Maze runner tells the story of Thomas (Dylan O'Brien), a teenager who finds himself in an area known only as "The Glade" with no memory of how he got there. Along with a group of other boys in the exact same situation, he finds the only way out is a gigantic shifting maze that may be impossible to navigate. There is a really intriguing premise at the heart of The Maze Runner, a good cast of young actors picked from the likes of Skins and Game of Thrones, and, as this trailer shows, some very striking visuals, with the design of the maze looking amazing. I get a number of different influences here, from The Hunger Games to Lord of the Flies, and i have the feeling they'll all come together for a very satisfying whole.
Released: 19th September (U.S.)/ 24th October (IRL/U.K.)
