"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.

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.'
