that meant that “the maze runner” was able to attract roughly an equal number of men and women, with 49% of the opening crowd being male. appealing to men certainly helped “the hunger games, ” which drew an opening crowd that was 39% male in 2012, and it worked this time around as well. in order to broaden the film’s appeal, “the maze runner” was marketed as an action - heavy thriller. that also helped it stand out from “ the giver, ” “ divergent ” and all the other dystopian adventures popping up on screens these days .
in the finale to the maze runner saga, thomas leads his group of escaped gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. to save their friends, they must break into the legendary last city, a wckd - controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions the gladers have been asking since they first arrived in the maze.

the crew went their separate ways after the second postponement, but now schedules have been worked out to move forward early next year, albeit in a new location. maze runner: the death cure still will be directed by wes ball. the script by t. s. nowlin was adapted from one of the series of the popular books by james dashner. wyck godfrey, ellen goldsmith - vein and lee stollman are the producers .
