James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner, recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly to talk about the recently released trailer for the big screen adaption of his book. Here are some of the things he said about the trailer:
From the first time I saw it in test footage, the view of Gally jumping into the Box from up above has been one of my favorite images. So perfect. I love Wes’s vision and directing style. And, of course, Will Poulter just nails it as Gally.
And then that title sequence!!! I don’t even know what to say about it. So perfect. When I saw the trailer for the very first time, at this point I just started bawling, so many emotions exploding at once. To see my world come to life, so stunningly and so professionally, and to love it so much, just overwhelmed me.
