There’s an endless parade of young adult adaptations trooping into cinemas hoping to be the new Twilight or Hunger Games. Few appear to have much chance of that, but one of the more promising is The Maze Runner, which has a pretty intriguing premise.
Now we can get a feel for the movie with the first official trailer, which looks pretty cool.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on the best-selling young adult thriller, THE MAZE RUNNER is set in a post-apocalyptic world where Thomas (Dylan OBrien) is deposited in a community of young men after his memory is erased. After learning theyre all trapped in a maze, Thomas joins forces with fellow “runners to not only escape the maze, but solve its riddle and reveal the chilling secret of who brought them there, and why.’
Will Poulter, Kaya Scodelaria, Thomas Brodie-Sangste and Patricia Clarksoner co-star. It’ll be out in cinemas in October.
