Another puzzle to conquer for Thomas and the Gladers in 'The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials' movie
After watching "The Maze Runner," fans were left with a lot of unanswered questions. This novel-turned-movie series is now back with answers, with its second installment "The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials."
James Dashner, the author of the best-selling novels, said in his chat with RadioTimes that movie viewers will constantly be at the edge of their seat. "Things got a little bit darker in the second book and the movie definitely represents that," he added.
The author also said that they tried harder to keep the movie true to the book. However, dramatic changes were made, especially on how Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) communicate. "That's the biggest ripple effect that we had to deal with, because that's so integral to the second book; how they communicate while they're separated," he explained. Fans will just have to watch the movie to see how Wes Ball, the director of the movie, orchestrated these changes.

The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials starts after the Gladers had escaped the maze from the first movie. They were moved to a dormitory, where they have discovered that they were not the only people trapped in that horrifying maze.
While the story continues, the group found out that surviving the maze is just the first part of their test from the World Catastrophe Killzone Department, or WCKD. This organization is tasked to find the cure to the Flare, which is a disease killing all humanity. They are testing children that are immune to the sickness using The Maze.
The Gladers would have to decide whether to continue being subjected to WCKD's tests and save humankind, or escape. "These young people have to find their place in this world and figure out how they can fix it. They are torn between saving the world and their personal freedom," Ball said, according to a post by Inquirer.net.
The movie will premiere Sept. 18 in cinemas worldwide.
