'Maze Runner' Preview: Making the Maze

With less than two weeks until The Maze Runner
hits theaters, 20th Century Fox has released a
featurette and two new TV spots for this YA
novel adaptation. Stars Dylan O'Brien , Will
Poulter and Kaya Scodelario break down the
mysterious world of The Glade, where a group of
young men and one woman have been brought,
with no way out except through a perilous maze
that no one has been able to survive. We also
hear from author James Dashner in this preview,
who explains that he was inspired to create this
story by reading his favorite novel, Lord of the
Flies, and director Wes Ball, who wanted to
respect the world James created.
If that wasn't enough, we also have more
action-packed footage in a couple of TV spots
before The Maze Runner arrives in theaters
nationwide on September 19.

The Maze Runner follows a boy named Thomas
who wakes up in a strange place called the
Glade with no memory aside from his first
name. The Glade is an enclosed structure
populated by other boys, and is surrounded by
tall, stone walls that protect them from
monsters called Grievers that live in the Maze,
which surrounds the walls around the Glade.
Every day, some of the kids who are Runners
venture into the labyrinth trying to map the
ever-changing pattern of walls in an attempt to
find an exit.
As soon as Thomas arrives, unusual things
begin to happen and the others grow suspicious
of him. The Maze seems familiar to Thomas, but
he's unable to make sense of the place despite
his extraordinary abilities as a Runner.
When the first girl arrives in the Glade, she
brings a message that she will be the last one
to ever arrive in the Glade, as the end is near.
