Sad faces were spotted on legions of fans of The Maze Runner when we discovered that the movie was going to be delayed from this February to September, but the promise of greater care put into CGI was enough calm us.
In a recent interview with Collider, star Dylan O’Brien shed a tiny bit of light on the progress.
I’ve gotten to do some ADR, though, so I’ve gotten to see some. It looks beautiful. I hope that people like it. I really think it looks great, so far. I haven’t seen how the movie came out, but the cinematography looked f-ing great when I saw it. I was very happy to see that. I just implicitly trust that director, Wes Ball. I absolutely fell in love with that guy, within a week of shooting. He is one of my favorite people. I would do any movie of his, ever. He’s just got such a great energy. He’s so confident without ever being cocky. He’s the most likeable, regular dude, who happens to also be a genius, and have a really good feel for film and storytelling. He’s great, and so were the producers and cast. It was so our thing, and we loved it so much. We hope people like it because we had so much fun doing it. The whole cast is in love with the story. I’m in love with the story and characters. We were all really close on the shoot, and we had a great little family.
The Maze Runner starring Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Kong Lee, Aml Ameenn, Blake Cooper and Patricia Clarkson is slated to hit theaters September 19, 2014.
