Based on the James Dashner book, Maze Runner is a post-apocalyptic tale which follows Thomas, who has his memory wiped and is deposited in a community of boys trapped in an enormous maze. He soon learns they are part of a mysterious test, and finds it is his destiny to join the ‘maze runners’ and lead them to freedom.
“I’m the only female in the cast, and she kind of appears a quarter of the way through the film, and is kind of the catalyst of everything going wrong, and all the secrets being exposed and everything falling to pieces. Which is great!” Kaya shared with IndieWire about the role. “I get to do loads of running and killing and jumping around and things, which I’ve never done before, I’ve never done action and physical things, so I’m looking forward to pushing myself to see if I can stop eating fry ups and get healthy.”
It was just announced that Jacob Latimore and Blake Cooper have joined the cast. Can’t wait to see more pics from filming!
