Hollywood continues to churn out adaptations of young adult novels in hopes of striking box office gold, and while most of these projects feature a female protagonist, 20th Century Fox is looking to change things up with The Maze Runner. Based on the novel by James Dasher, the story follows Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) as he wakes up to find himself trapped in a colossal maze, alongside a group of other boys, with no recollection of his life before. See the first trailer below.
The Maze Runner hits theaters on September 19. Thanks to MTV for the poster.
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. Based on the best-selling novel by James Dashner.
