After The Mortal
Instruments: City of Bones, and Divergent, I regained a little bit of faith in
the YA films with director Wes Ball's adaptation of James Dashner's The Maze
Runner, which despite some inconsistencies, and a catastrophic ending, it was
engaging and fun enough to make me want to see what happened to these
characters.
With the sequel
getting ready to ship out later this year, the attention turns to how the
surviving characters from the first film will interact with the new environment
they have been introduced into and the people they will encounter, particularly
Dylan O'Brien's Thomas, Kaya Scodelario's Teresa, and newcomer Brenda played by
Rosa Salazar. In Dashner's novel the three have something off a love triangle going
on, but according to Salazar that triangle won't be very "triangle-y".
It’s not so much love triangle-y, but it kind of
is. Like, you could describe it that way.
The actress, who was speaking to Collider while promoting her latest
film Night Owls at SXSW, also added that she, Scodelario, and the director discussed how take a different approach to the overly played dilemma.
Kaya Scodelario is
like really smart and we got together with Wes, the director of that one, and
we’re just like, ‘We don’t want this to be some like cheesy ass love triangle.’
Because it can be more subtle than that. Everything is described in what he
chooses to do and that’s the whole point of Maze Runner and so when he chooses to come after
me instead of [going] down the shaft with her, it’s already there. He doesn’t
need to say, ‘Ah, I’m leaving Teresa behind.’ It’s more like, he chose and then
that’s where all of the feelings will come from.
Maze Runner: The
Scorch Trials premieres on September 18.
