The Scorch Trials should be on the way
As part of the 20th Century Fox presentation on Friday, director Wes Ball and some of his cast showed up at Hall H to show off a new trailer and scenes from The Maze Runner. And as the panel wrapped up, Ball announced that he and his team were already at work developing writer James Dashner’s sequel novel, The Scorch Trials.
The first film, which arrives in October, finds Dylan O’Brien as Thomas, who wakes up in a mysterious elevator transporting him into a massive maze filled with other boys. With no memory of exactly who he is, and plagued by strange dreams about a mysterious organization known as WICKD, he soon discovers that he’s in a very dangerous place.
Only by piecing together fragments of his past with clues he discovers in the maze can Thomas hope to uncover his true purpose and a means of escape. But with the obstacles ever changing and a surprise twist in the arrival of a young woman (Kaya Scodelario), it won’t be an easy task. The Scorch Trials continues the story, though obviously we won't dip into that for fear of spoilers.
Speaking of, Maze Runner’s panel was a fun, friendly one, which even managed to survive O’Brien appearing to give away a massive moment of the plot. The film itself will be out on October 24 and also stars Will Poulter and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.
