Wes Ball

"Caesar's legacy will continue."

War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves has found his next big motion-capture project, and instead of apes, this time around it’s mice. The director has his eye on the Mouse Guard comic book series, an adaptation of which he will be producing for 20th Century Fox, and he and the studio are currently courting Maze Runner series helmer Wes Ball to direct it. Cue all the mice + maze jokes.

Fox was so confident that 'The Maze Runner' would be a success that, earlier on, it greenlit it's sequel, 'The Scorch Trials,' based on James Dashner's second installment in his dystopian novel series. Following the film's box office success this opening weekend, though, the studio wants a quicker turnaround and has now slated the sequel for release in 2015, while revealing a first look at what's to come.

Following the 20th Century Fox Comic-Con 2014 panel from this past weekend, the new 'Maze Runner' trailer has sprinted online, featuring new looks at the mysterious "Glade" and our first look at the dangers that lie within.

After months of fans pestering director Wes Ball for a look on social media, 'The Maze Runner' trailer has finally debuted online, giving us our first look at footage from this new young-adult genre adaptation. It's timed so it will be screened in front of the next big young-adult hit, 'Divergent' (which is trying to be the new 'Hunger Games,' so there's a circle of life thing here). With 20th Cen

Young-adult entertainment goes through phases and we're currently waist deep in the "sci-fi dystopian" phase, where 'The Hunger Games' is the obvious high watermark. Although 'Divergent' will make a run at the throne in a few weeks, 'The Maze Runner' is taking aim at Katniss and company later this year, and the new poster looks strategically designed to tap into your love of that franchi

Keeping in mind that 'The Maze Runner' (Wes Ball's adaptation of James Dashner's young-adult sci-fi novel) doesn't even hit theaters until September of next year, 20th Century Fox is already looking to bring the second book in the four-part series, 'The Scorch Trials,' to the big screen. It's probably running after 'The Hunger Games'' box office gold.

With 'Teen Wolf' star Dylan O'Brien cast in the leading role, 'The Maze Runner,' adapted from the James Dashner novel of the same name, can now proceed with production. Filming recently went underway on the film, which is aiming for a February 14, 2014 release date, and the first piece of concept imagery has just been released. So how would you like to get your first look at the massively intricat

Dylan O'Brien has been slowly pulling ahead in the ranks of young celebrity stardom after landing his gig in MTV's 'Teen Wolf.' Now he'll be running through mazes in director's Wes Ball's adaptation of the 'Hunger Games'-esque 'The Maze Runner.'

And yet another young adult novel about a dystopian future gets an adaptation -- this time, it's James Dashner's 'The Maze Runner' over at 20th Century Fox, and it looks like Wes Ball has been chosen to direct.
