The big screen adaptation of The Maze Runner finally released in theaters and it has already been green lit for a sequel that will release as soon as September 2015. The news was announced by 20th Century Fox via Twitter with the first piece of concept art for the film which you can see above.
The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world and follows the story of Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien), a young man who wakes up to find himself in a community of kids welcoming him to the “Glade” – a large expanse of land completely surrounded by a concrete maze.
The now-franchise is based on the young adult book series of the same name written by James Dashner. The sequel film, titled The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials will release next year on September 18. Wes Ball will also direct the sequel.
The book series has a third book titled “The Death Cure” meaning the film will possibly be turned into a trilogy. Or a four film franchise if it goes the way of similar films such as The Hunger Games.
