If you haven’t already guessed it by now, I am a HUGE Dylan O’Brien fan (thanks to my sister for infecting me with her “Teen Wolf” obsession). Big news for Dylan today — he landed the lead role in The Maze Runner, which is the movie version of the Young Adult novel of the same title by James Dashner. Dylan will be playing Thomas, the protagonist of the story, who wakes up in a maze with absolutely no recollection of getting there in the first place. It is up to him and his friends to find a way out.

The tentative release date for the adaptation is Valentine’s Day … February 14, 2014. Don’t worry! That’s only a little less than a year away. I think we can wait that long .. right? Well, to ease the pain, I will be updating you on the progress of this film, so at least we will have some Dylan all-year-long. 🙂
