‘Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials’ Trailer: Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Scorch

In search of answers, our heroes head out into an unforgiving desert landscape known as the Scorch, filled with roving zombie-like creatures known as Cranks. (This franchise loves capitalizing things for no reason.) Basically, think Mad Max meets Oblivion, plus the zombies from 28 Days Later. Yeah. Not a good scene. Watch the first Maze Runner The Scorch Trials trailer after the jump.

It’s really too bad Thomas and his friends don’t have time to sit around watching HBO, because anyone who’s seen Game of Thrones could’ve told Thomas that Janson guy was not to be trusted.

Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Ki Hong Lee all return from the first film, to be joined by Rosa Salazar, Katherine McNamara, Jacob Lofland, Giancarlo Esposito, Lili Taylor, and Barry Pepper. Wes Ball once again directs, and it’s all based on the YA book series by James Dashner.Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials opens September 18.
