Whenever we’re all in LA we hang out, we hung out at Comic-Con together and in New York and in London so it was just like ‘Oh, we’re all going to be together in the same place again.'”īrodie-Sangster is a veteran of film and television at only 25 years old, and it’s clear the other cast use his coolness as a model. And we have stayed in touch, it’s like we haven’t disappeared from each other’s lives at all. “It sounds so cheesy,” she began, “but honestly just being back with my mates again because we had so much fun shooting the first one. Scodelario likewise thinks of it as a smaller affair, and was mostly happy to return for another round because of her cast mates. To even be mentioned with those other movies just means that we’ve done a really good job with it, so I just focus on that and be proud of that rather than feeling pressure.” I think the only reason we caught some people’s attention was because it’s cool. “We don’t have the marketing of that it’s not in everyone’s face like that. “To be honest, speaking frankly, we don’t have the budget of Divergent or Hunger Games,” O’Brien continued.
SCORCH TRIALS INTERVIEWS MOVIE
“I really believe that the success that we have netted from it, the success the movie has experienced, is all of our hard work put into it from every angle and everyone’s passion for it and just how much we put into it.”
“It was a lot more under the radar and that’s kinda the way I always prefer it,” he said of The Maze Runner. He approaches it very much like it’s still the first movie, when the pressure wasn’t on. O’Brien has stepped into his role as Thomas, the hero of the series, with both feet, but he’s also stepped into being the lead of a now-massive franchise. It’s really been a lot of fun to stretch your legs and do new stuff with the same cast and same story.” So nothing’s really changed in that sense, it’s just the vibe of [ The Scorch Trials is so different really. I mean, we were just doing publicity on the other one a few months ago. “It hasn’t really changed, honestly,” Ball told us. So the challenge really is just to make something kind of new and different.”īall and the cast from the first movie did see what they were filming as something different, but there hadn’t been a whole lot of time to decompress before moving on.
Doing something that hopefully we haven’t quite seen before.
And a little bit more fitting with the vibe of movie in general - just a little bit more mature and sophisticated and growing up a little bit with these kids. “We’re just trying to make something interesting and kind of creepy, but sexual in some strange way. We watched as a scene was filmed where an unintentionally drugged Thomas makes his way through a mass of people and finds Teresa, or is it Brenda (Rosa Salazar)?ĭirector Ball told us he’s “trying to not make it a rave,” of the hazy, dancer-filled din. I and a group of other journalists joined director Wes Ball and returning stars Dylan O’Brien (Thomas), Kaya Scodelario (Teresa), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Newt), and Ki Hong Lee (Minho) in a weird mansion close to downtown that had been turned into a haven for youth debauchery in the post-apocalyptic world. The second film is going to be released one year and a day after the first one.īack in December of 2014, mere days before Christmas, production on The Scorch Trials had found itself in Albuquerque, NM, away from the sweltering Atlanta heat of the first movie. But a lot of people did enjoy it, and that made Fox ready to get going on the sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials quickly, too. I hadn’t read the books by James Dashner (or even heard of them, if I’m honest) and sort of assumed the franchise wouldn’t be for me. As of this writing, it’s been less than a year, and indeed less than 11 months, since The Maze Runner film came out and I for one was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
