Fans of James Dashner’s book series The Maze Runner have been waiting patiently for what they thought would be news of a trailer for the movie adaptation due out Valentine’s Day of next year, only to be met with news that the movie is being put off to fall.
Yes. It sucks that we will have to wait even longer, BUT maybe there will be time to build adequate anticipation for those who haven’t read the series. I mean this gives us one more Comic-Con! Also remember, we want the Grievers to be all of the awesome that we know they could be. Give the CGI magicians time to do their thing.
Here are the tweets from director Wes Ball announcing the delay.
Good news and bad news y’all. Bad news, you have to wait a bit longer. Good news, the movie and marketing can be the best it can be now.

These things aren’t my choice, but I 100% agree with fox’s decision. Just imagine the cool stuff we can do with a little extra time. ;)
