We're at a special Teen Vogue screening of the Maze Runner
but before we find out if these stars can survive the labyrinth
let's see if they can navigate this red carpet
This cast actually represents a lot of really popular television shows
what do you think Game of Thrones fans would like about The Maze Runner
Ooh!
- Um....there's death in it! - Oh good!
- That's a must for Game of Thrones fans! - I think all Game of Thrones fans must be obsessed with death by now.
What do you think Teen Wolf fans are going to like about the Maze Runner?
Um, I mean I think that - you know I think they'll get a kick out of it
cause, uh, I think they'll like that world
if they love the Teen Wolf world, basically like it's obviously it's not the same
thing and
it's a completely different situation but it's really imaginative in that way
It's not just another Young Adult adaptation. It IS for everyone.
- Well what makes it for everyone? What elevates this? - I think what elevates it for me personally
there's no love triangle there's no time for that and this is a
race to the finish from start to finish
and the you know the second the character opens his eyes you open your eyes
you're on the journey with him, and i like that, it's not easy
you have to really commit to it. - In Hollywood it used to be they would buy the rights to a
book and they would say
"bye-bye" to the author. But now, particularly with young adult genre
authors are sticking around. how's it been? how's the journey been?
Man, this has been the highlight of my career
from the very beginning the producers talk to me they had me read the script
the director and I
got to know each other I was on set, I mean
I just feel like Fox wanted me to be a part of it and contribute and it's just
as a huge film lovers it's been the highlight of my career
It is a big cast but you're the lead. How is it to transition from a fan favorite but the best friend
on Teen Wolf
to the lead character?
It was a lot more days on set!
I I don't know it's it's good you know i'd
I didn't even, I don't know I was there everyday but
I didn't feel like I...
like the out and out lead, I felt like it was such an ensemble
I had so much support
like I do with Teen Wolf, was similar in that sense and I
never really felt like a everything hindered on when I was doing
I play the role of frypan who's the cook of the glad and he's one of the keepers
so you know he's he's always around Newt and Gally and Minho and when Thomas
comes he's
very much involved very much trying to see what he has to say
night here two runs the maze and saw me as one of
I yes it's not about the money man
what are you cooking to me what do you put a lot of steel
okay okay you know how I wanted it to don't yeah
ask what happens his to everybody has a newborn rowing on some more
he wrote another some have a little more homeless population went to the hospital
I was very very lucky to be given material that I was giving
all you know has revisited think it's very powerful emotional intensity
say this for nothing but a bowl or two before our eyes by tell
write a book was it will inspire or excellent
what is it about a bunch of boys left on their own that so intriguing but also
dangerous
yeah I it's fascinating to me since I read more the flies back in high school
and his this something about humanity
and and trying to
you know discover the way we would react in this kinda situation so
was def inspired by Laura flies and I can to get
my own route his cock my work lies
james's here
this is what would happen if you quit boys together like they would band
together with you
and they would like to ride together and he wouldn't be like
you know wooden turned vicious and in turn violent in there and of course be
disagreements but like it would be handled very
like I you know like it is like a scene in the book and the movie
you know stories like like they playing people I created this community for
themselves
in like the first thing that they come up with the first rule is never harm
another
later like that's like really just such such a difference
through my lord applies in just terms and black james's
theory with people like you just nosey because you believe so
so wholeheartedly like humans are innately good and that this is how
you know that workout is beautiful I think this has been a very secretive ad
campaign not a lot has been really
what do you say to her audiences see on screen
when they got an amazing see the whole thing as it is
disposal at little segment we're now at like classical music promised to watch
as a film honestly genuinely
excited to see for them to see this cast together I feel like none other people
haven't really seen one agree for looks like and I think we've done a good job
keeping that under wraps
so when they see the movie I hope the groomers pay our nom excited for the
adventure that takes
my back to West Palm did such a great job treating this world
this adventures world I'll 0
dreamers amazes me characters
times and then just sit back relax and enjoy the ride really involved
not the I think I think this is something different that we're bringing
this means and i think im gonna
