Deadline is reporting that young British actor Will Poulter (‘The Chronicles of Narnia,’ ‘Son of Rambow’) has been offered one of the leads in Wes Ball’s upcoming adaptation of James Dasher’s young adult novel, ‘Maze Runner.’
The dystopian story follows Thomas (Poulter), who after having his memory wiped 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.”
Grant Myers is on board to script the adaptation, reworking a previous draft by Noah Oppenheim.
