The maze runner movie.

Have you guys heard of the best seller « The maze runner » By James Dashner? No? HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK! It's turning into a movie already!

The maze runner, which is a dystopian trilogy and one of my best series of all time, is turning into a movie starring Dylan O’Brien. It’s releasing Semptember 19th so if you haven’t read the book yet, what are you waiting for ?

The book is about a boy who wakes up to find himself in a field surrounded by enormous walls. He can’t remember anything about himself but his name, Thomas. He finds himself in a comunity of boys and he learns that behind the enormous walls there is a maze. In the walls there are gates that open at sunrise and close at sunset to protect them from monsters outside the gates.

The book is so thrilling. I don’t remember breathing while reading it. I know I did but it was so captivating I found myself literally shaking in anticipation.

Let’s talk abou the cast. As thomas there is Dylan O’Brien who I think is perfect for the role. Kaya Scodelario as Teresa which is also fine with me. But Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Newt is bothernig me a bit. He’s supposed to be the second in command, strong, responsible, tough looking… but I don’t think Brodie-Sangster is suitable for it. Everytime I look at him, I remember him in Nanny McPhee. Do you still remember that movie ? I think he’s cute and sweet, not the best Newt that could be. The rest of the cast is excellent though. Alby, Galy and Chuck are just prefectly fine.

The maze. Oh my God, it’s exactly as I imagined it to be. The walls with the ivy, the gates, everything is amazing. I thing that this adaptation is going to be A-fricking-MAZING.

The maze runner first trailer was released the 17th of mars 2014. The second trailer premiered in comic con but was on youtube the 30th of July. And let me tell you, it’s amazing.

Three absolutely thrilling clips were released on youtube and they are amazing. Watch them now :

I’m counting days until the release of this movie. Are you as excited as I am ? You’re supposed to be. Read the maze runner if you haven’t already before the 19th of September. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments.
