THE MAZE RUNNER TRAILER & POSTER
30th July 2014 10:00am
A new trailer for The Maze Runner premiered at the film’s San Diego Comic-Con panel a few days ago, and now the preview has been made available for everyone else to watch, online (see above). Visual effects artist-turned director Wes Ball is adapting James Dashner’s best-selling young adult sci-fi novel for his feature debut, working alongside a youthful cast led by a pair of TV actors in Dylan O’Brien (Teen Wolf) and Kaya Scodelario (Skins, Southcliffe).
Maze Runner, unlike other recent hit YA sci-fi books-turned movies such as Hunger Games and Divergent, doesn’t start out by painting a clear vision of a futuristic setting – one that holds up a mirror to modern times, with troubling implication. No, in Dashner’s story we get tossed head-first into the thick of it alongside protagonist Thomas (O’Brien), landing in a mysterious labyrinth – one populated by several male teenagers struggling to stay alive, no less.
The second Maze Runner trailer doesn’t spill any more secrets that hadn’t already given away by the first trailer – including, the moment when the eponymous maze welcomes a young woman named Teresa (Scodelario), who knows Thomas. However, this new preview does introduce some vital terminology for those unfamiliar with Dashner’s source material (the maze is “The Glade” and the monsters therein are “Grievers”), while also hinting that the secrets of the world will, in time, be unlocked. (Again, those who’ve already read the source book are ahead of the curve, in this regard.)
