Yes, another popular book series is making the transition to the big screen. While it remains to be seen how much this one fits in with our usual tastes, at the moment it sounds like a compelling tale. I’m talking about THE MAZE RUNNER, which is a twisty post-apocalyptic story from author James Dashner; currently being developed at 20th Century Fox and director Wes Ball, the project has landed its first lead.
According to Deadline.com, THE MAZE RUNNER will star Will Poulter (THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER; SON OF RAMBOW) as one of the lead characters, who find themselves trapped in an enormous maze, part of a mysterious test.
