The new Maze Runner movie reportedly won't be a direct sequel or an outright reboot.
A The Maze Runner reboot of sorts is in the works. According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Studios is rebooting the franchise based on James Dashner's best-selling books. The series was previously adapted into a trilogy of films that debuted between 2014 through 2018. Jack Paglen, the scribe behind Alien: Covenant , is being tapped to write the first film.
Per the report, the reboot will not be a direct sequel of the original trilogy or a redo of the story. Instead, its reported that they're looking to develop a continuation of sorts that includes elements of the original films, an approach that is similar to what the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is doing.
What Is The Maze Runner About?Released in 2014, The Maze Runner is a dystopian sci-fi film that follows a group of teenagers who finds themselves, wiped of their memories, in a walled, underground area called the Glade. They soon realize that the only way out is through the maze beyond the walls — but that maze is full of dangerous creatures and closing doors that change every night. One new arrival eventually believes that he knows the way out.
