5 Fun Facts about the Maze Runner



 
Inspired by the Maze Runner movie, Sugar Bay has decided to turn into the glade next week as we host the Maze Runner week as one of our themed holiday camps.
And, because we’re cool, and oh-so-a-maze-ing, we’ve decided to share some cool facts about the Maze Runner with you. 

Want to know what goes on behind-the-scenes of “The Maze Runner”? Let’s unlock the secrets behind the mysterious maze: 

1. Dylan O’Brien almost didn’t get the role as Thomas

 

In the book, Thomas is described to be a 16-year-old boy, 5’9″ feet tall, and has brown hair. Did you know that Dylan O’Brien almost didn’t get the role of Thomas for the film as director Wes Ball thought his hairstyle was too “MTV”. Fortunately, the director changed his mind after seeing a photo of O’Brien with his hair gelled. 

2. Ben is not a runner in the book



Chris Sheffield’s character, Ben, is a builder in the book but he has been changed to become a veteran runner in the movie. 

3. Blake Cooper auditioned via Twitter 
 













Blake Cooper, who appears in the film as Chuck, gained his role through an impromptu audition on Twitter. Cooper sent a series of tweets to the director after learning that the novel will be turned into a film. As seen in his tweets, Cooper is a huge fan of the novel and stated that he wants to be Chuck in the film.

4. “WICKED” to “WICKD”

 


















In the book, the original term, “WICKED”, is an abbreviation for World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department. The organization is indeed “wicked” in the film as their organisation is responsible for the population wipe out. However, the film decided to change the term to “WICKD”.

5. The cast really had a camp out night in the Glade

 

As the filming location for “The Glade” scene was set in Louisiana, the entire cast of the film spent their night camping out in the Glade. Thomas Brodie-Sangste, who played Newt in the film, revealed in an interview that they “wanted to bond together” and “completely immersed in the surroundings” when trying to develop a character.
