Intriguing New Trailer for The Maze Runner Released


The new trailer for the sci-fi action film The Maze Runner was just released, and it gives me hope that the movie might be more than just a retread of Divergent following in the considerable wake of The Hunger Games. It looks like there’s plenty of action and mystery at work here and that could make for a pretty entertaining film. Then again, we’ve all been burned by trailers before haven’t we? What do you think of the new trailer?

 

The story begins when Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) wakes up trapped in a massive maze with a group of other boys, he has no memory of the outside world other than strange dreams about a mysterious organization known as W.C.K.D. 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 way to escape. The film is based on the best-selling novel by James Dashner. It is rated PG-13 and the cast includes: Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Aml Ameen, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Will Poulter.

The Maze Runner will be in theaters on September 19th, 2014!
