Fox has just unveiled our very first look at Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, the sequel to the successful adaptation of the first Maze Runner.

The film will center on Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and the group of survivors who successfully navigated their way out of the Glade, where they discover that they have all just been a part of a devious program appropriately named WCKD. When they learn that there is only more trouble if they stay where they are at, they decide to break out to see if there are answers in the Scorch, the outside world that has been obliterated by a massive solar flare. You can read a synopsis and check out the trailer below.

As we are about to begin the big summer movie season, I decided to head out to my local independent movie theater, and luckily for us folks in Milwaukee, we have two to choose from. I headed to the Downer and after hearing that they finally converted to digital projectors, I got my popcorn, frozen Junior Mints, and soda, then headed into the theater for Mud.

It seems there are a few movies coming out that deal with kids on their summer breaks or something along the lines of Stand By Me or Adventureland. And in Mud, which was written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, a movie worth checking out and I would suggest checking out the numerous episodes and discussions on the /Film podcast about it, after seeing it of course).
