Producer Wyck Godfrey had his 3 boys offer casting advice. standing for World In Catastrophe, Killzone Experiment Department. W.C.K.D is pronounced as wicked, because in the book the acronym was W.I.C.K.E.D. Three actors from the film a part of Game Of Thrones (2011).ĭirector, Wes Ball originally pitched The Maze Runner as 'Lord of the Flies meets Lost'. Scheduling issues hindered Adelaide Kane from playing Brenda's role. The film's third installment will be called Death Cure. The film is very different from the book. As the film ends, Thomas swears to infiltrate WKCD to rescue his friend. Thomas with the Right Arm is successful in fending off WCKD, Ava, Janson and Teresa leave with the immunes they captured. Teresa calls WCKD, who ambush the place with Janson and Ava confront them and the survivors are taken in custody for experimental purposes. We learn that an immune body can only harvest the enzyme. She is given an enzyme shot which settle her infection. Brenda, who contracts the virus from a Crank, and the Right Arm contemplate on whether she should be shot. The group finally separate only to meet again at the location of Right Arm, where they find other innocent survivors as well. Janson and his army attacks the place just as the couple were planning to escape and George's explosives destroy the place. After surviving a grave thunderstorm, they reach the place and are welcomed by cranks whom the owners of the place keep as watchdogs.Welcomed not-so-pleasantly by Brenda and George, the group is initially kept chained.
After the group moves ahead in the desert, they find lights close by. Winston gets infected after being attacked by a flare-virus-infected zombie and finally kills himself instead of becoming a crank himself. The group keep finding cranks everywhere they go. Thomas and his gang escape and Janson's team are entrusted with the responsibility of finding them in the scorch. The two discuss about the experiment on immunes and also about finding the resistance group that lives in the mountains. We are told that the WCKD leader Eva is still alive and Janson works with her. Survivors from many other maze live their together.īut Thomas suspects something fishy and with the help of a guy from another maze, he discovers what happens behind the close doors. The place protects them from the virus, Cracnks, WCKD, providing them food and shelter. Years later, after being rescued from the maze trials, he along with Newt, Minho, Teresa, Frypan and Winston are taken into a safe haven run by Mr Janson. If what happens here is anything to go by, we don't need to worry about anything Ewokish.The film begins with a dream sequence of a young Thomas being taken in by WCKD. Now, hopefully Ball will hurry up with film number three.
Scorch Trials passes the ultimate test: it's worth a second viewing. Along with Ball's pre-production watchlist there are elements of Escape from New York, Day of the Dead and The Omega Man here, with newcomer O'Brien really growing into the hero role and some older heads – Aidan Gillen, Giancarlo Esposito, Patricia Clarkson, Barry Pepper and Lili Taylor – giving the story more weight. Even those who know the classics inside out may be surprised at just how much they get caught up in this YA adventure – Scorch Trials is two hours and 15 minutes long but, a few talkie moments aside, doesn't feel like it. But who can they really trust with time running out for humanity?īall showed with The Maze Runner that he could deliver the goods on a tight Hollywood budget ($35m making $340m at the box office) with more money to 'play' with here he really lets rip in terms of set-pieces. Picking up right after last year's breakout (pun intended), Scorch Trials finds hero Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his comrades from former home/prison the Glade embedded in their rescuers' base. The swotting served him well: this is a gripping post-apocalyptic chase movie that expands and improves the universe of the first film and suggests Ball will be one of those household name directors before too long.
For the follow-up to his sleeper hit debut The Maze Runner, director Wes Ball sat down again and watched the 'middle' movies in trilogies, The Empire Strikes Back and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom among them. Whatever you do in this life, learn from the best.
