They’re trying to survive and that’s the other beauty of the story. “We really want to make it real, because these kids are in the situation where they’ll never be just like making out. It’s not necessarily like stop and kissing in the woods, that never happens, and that’s what I love too, it’s so authentic. They to one another are the one piece of memory that they have and it makes me feel safe, and I think that’s beautiful. Literally just being like re-birthed essentially. It’s familiar in a world that’s completely unfamiliar to these kids.

“In this movie … In the first one, Thomas and Teresa, what I love about their relationship is that it’s a connection. I always like to cultivate that stuff myself as a viewer, you know, like I want ‘Oh! They’re amazing together.’ There’s kind of just something there, connections there for the audience to root for and I think that’s stronger without just throwing it in your face. In this one, it’s not a love triangle and… everything I love about this story line is that it’s sort of so unromantic and that’s what makes it so romantic. O’Brien explained that it’s not really about the romance as much as it is the connection between the characters. In the scene, after a drug-addled Brenda tries to kiss Thomas, he says, “You’re not her.” Ouch. She breaks her own rules with this character Thomas and lets him in in this really beautiful way and is sort of messed up by it, because she’s so used to doing this, so to do this is very awkward. Throughout that course of the movie, stuff is getting pulled out of her. Jorge finds her and takes her under his wing, and she becomes a protege. She was thrust out into this terrible world, the Scorch, and fending for herself at a very young age.


I sort of like to describe her as a rescue dog. “She’s like, forward and goes in to kiss him and he’s like, no, I don’t understand. That scene is so close to the book that it’s fun,” Salazar said. “Well, first of all, she kicks ass, and she’s no bulls***. Salazar described Brenda and how close the scene is to the one in the book. Brenda is a part of the crew of Cranks, along with Giancarlo Esposito’s Jorge. The scene has Thomas almost kissing a new character (and book fan favorite) Brenda (Rosa Salazar). You know, so that’s the challenge really is just to make something kind of new and different.” Doing something that hopefully we haven’t quite seen before. So, you know, just taking that approach with it basically. And, you know, a little bit more kind of fitting with this the vibe of the movie in general just a little bit more mature and sophisticated and growing up a little bit with these kids. Director Wes Ball told us, “We’re just trying to make something interesting and kind of creepy, but sexual in some strange way.


It’s a rave, where our heroes find themselves under the influence of an unnamed drug. The first scene took place in a dilapidated mansion out in the Scorch, a desolate landscape the group has escaped to. As it turns out, that isn’t the end of the story.Ĭ got a chance to visit the Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials set in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we got to interview the cast and check out the set and watch a few scenes being shot, including one with Alan Tudyk, who hasn’t been announced as a cast member yet. Some of the group is rescued by rebels and removed from the Glade. When a young woman named Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) appears, the first female there, everything starts to fall apart. Runners try to get through the maze when it opens to find their way to freedom, to no avail. In the first film, a young man named Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) wakes up in an elevator that takes him to the Glade, a secluded area behind a maze where he lives with a group of boys.
