I wanted to play the bad guy in the film. He does, and you know, it was interesting for me to get the role of Jorge. How do think Jorge fits into that mold? He seems more in line with our heroes than most of the other adults in this movie. There was almost a paranoia about older people telling us what to do. I feel like there used to be a sense in a lot of fiction catering to younger people that adults needed to questioned.
SCORCH TRIALS INTERVIEWS MOVIE
I think this movie helps that in many ways. I believe that that’s what they need to be empowered: to know that they have a voice. You know, young people, young adults, they’ve been seeing the movies that take you on the wild ride and the journey and certainly we’re that, but this movie encourages young people to stand up for themselves, to be their own men and women, and to question the establishment in many ways. Giancarlo Esposito: I think this stands out because it is not only entertainment but it’s a film that has some mythological imagery as well as storylines to it. [ Note: Some spoilers lie ahead.)

There are a lot of other movies coming out in the same genre. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is now playing in theaters nationwide. We’ll have much more from The Scorch Trials press day for you soon but until then, watch Ball discussing The Death Cure as well as his thoughts on IMAX and about the benefits of using the Open Gate mode on the Alexa for Scorch Trials.Find out more about Giancarlo Esposito’s thoughts on the end of the world and why he takes regular vacations from technology in this exclusive interview. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials arrives on September 18th and then the third and final film of the series, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit theaters on February 17, 2017. We’re gonna go a little bit more future, do something a little gritty, a little film noir almost. We’re not gonna be in the same kind of setting anymore. The shooting location isn’t set in stone yet, but Ball did tease his interest in working in Vancouver: It’s gonna be a different kind of an engine, a different kind of genre almost and a different sort of color palette and terrain. “We’re working on the third one right now, working to make it even better and even cooler, and doing the same thing we did on this last one where it’s a different movie. Yeah, that would be pretty cool and that makes me a little disappointed we won’t get to tack on the third film in that same way, but Ball’s already proven he knows what he’s doing so I’d like to bet he’s got a solid plan in the works for round three, which he’s in the midst of at this very moment:īall also broke down what will make The Death Cure stand out from the first and second films: And that would be fun to kind of somehow string it together so it’s all one, huge six-hour saga.” It’s really cool the way it kind of ends and then just picks back up.

No credits, no nothing, just start the movie and go, which would be a fun way to watch and I’ve seen the movie kind of that way already. Actually, what would be really cool, especially the second one, what we did is we designed it so you could just butt ‘em up together. Check out what he told Steve when asked if he’s got any never-before-seen footage from the first or second films in his back pocket for a possible Blu-ray collector’s set: However, Ball still appreciates how seamless the transition is between the first and second movies. Ball noted that he incorporated elements of the third book in the second film at Comic-Con, so that means just about anything could happen at the end of The Scorch Trials, perhaps even something that warrants a one-year time jump.
