Prolly cos' they want everyone to get over the shock of how much they changed the Scorch Trials movie first. .-.
Scheduling conflicts with a few of the cast maybe. I think they are trying to find the right place to film before they start which should be in the spring or summer of 2016. Writing issues from book to film script. I really don't know but just glad it's happening instead of it getting canceled.
If it got cancelled I would be heartbroken. But I think there are too many fans who want it to happen for it to be cancelled. Wes ball DID lose my respect and trust after the scorch trials though.
I'm pretty sure I would still watch the third movie only cos' of commitment. And it's prolly taking so long cos' they can't really go off of the book anymore since the end of the Scorch Trials is nothing close to the book. They weren't even with the Red Guard anymore.(view spoiler)
All those reasons make sense I guess. Im not really a huge Dylan fan but ill check out his new stuff too.
I trust Wes as well. I thought he did a great job with the films. I read the books and I really didn't mind the changes that were in the film. Honest. I loved them. As much as I hate waiting for book 3, I can wait, knowing he will honor the book and the fans. Plus knowing what's going to happen from reading the book gives me more time to prepare seeing it on the big screen. You know?
How can you possibly prepare for something that might be so different from the book it can't even relate to the series anymore? that's how I feel about scorch trials. I was so excited for it and then so disappointed when I was watching it. If the death cure is like that I don't know what ill do.
I understand embracing and accepting changes. I do. we all did that with the first movie right? the slight, necessary changes? But embracing the changes of THE ENTIRE PLOT is something I can't deal with. I'm very upset with the scorch trials.
I agree with you Emma. I mean, it was a creative and brave idea but, there is such thing as too brave. The movie was good but I sort of wish I could've see the "rose took my nose" part (view spoiler). But I guess you can't appeal to everyone.
In the bloopers or deleted scenes on the special features there actually is a scene with rose took my nose. I think it was the bit where they're running through the mall place and that crank jumps on Newt. I can't remember exactly, but they did try it. One other thing that annoyed me about the changes were the cranks. They are supposed to be able to talk, and still resemble a human, not just some zombie creature you tie up for guard dogs.
I haven't heard that.

Here was the review of the movie I posted on their Facebook page:
Because it is my favorite book of the series, I WAS excited to see Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. But then I actually watched it and found it should really just be called Maze Runner: Thomas and Co Find Other Maze Survivors. They befriend these other survivors, run away from cranks and through the desert city in about half an hour then join the Right Arm. That's it, you don't need to watch it now. All I can figure is that the author must have been pushed out of the movie franchise after the first movie, if not then he is a pussy and allowed them to completely destroy his book.
Based on Scorch here is my prediction on how Maze Runner: The Death Cure movie will go: Set in the future on an intergalactic planet, Thomas is accused of murdering the ruler Princess Santa Soap. Put on trial by the intergalactic counsel, he must be put to death because his murder of the princess set off a chain of events that will ultimately destroy the universe if he lives. Thus in the end his Death Cures the destruction of all.
This is the last known picture of Princess Santa Soap before her murder:
(google any picture of a pump soap shaped like santa)
That's not very amusing, Jess. I agree with you that the movie was horrible and completely disappointing, but I'm still trying to have faith the last movie won't be as bad. Hopefully Wes Ball will learn from his mistake and take the last movie more seriously. We can only hope though...
Pssh, I agreed with Jess on that one. Even if he does learn from his mistake, he would still have to change the first part because of the way the Scorch ended. I mean he could still change it but it would have to be different from the Death Cure.
I am still fuming about the ending of the scorch trials movie. What a load of improvised crap!!
It's okay Emma. I'm sure 60% (maybe 50%) disliked the ending. Yer not the only one.
Was the Scorch Trials very different from the book? I haven't even watched it because I honestly thought that book was not very good. BUT I did notice it has a surprisingly good rating on IMDB, so I'm thinking maybe changing it up was a good thing and I'll have to watch.
Yes, Scorch Trials movie was very different from the book. But honestly, I still really liked it. If you're looking for a good movie to watch, watch it. If you're watching it because you read the book, you'll be disappointed but it's still a good adaption in my opinion.
It's not very different from the book. It's so completely changed that its not even recognisable or based on the book anymore.
When I mean different, I meant there are changes but do keep to the pace of the book. This happens in the book with a change here and there in certain scenes.
Were there any particular challenges of bringing the story to life? I know there were some changes made between the Scorch Trials book and the movie, but were there any challenges pertaining to those changes?
One of the biggest challenges was the ripple effect of changes we made in the first film. I’m a very big believer of books and movies being different ways of telling a story and things that work in one might not work in the other. So I was very happy with the first film, but all the little changes suddenly have this ripple effect that seem much bigger for the second book. So the real challenge to stay true to the spirit of the book, to have all the scenes that people have grown to love fit into the movie, but also stay true to the first movie. I tell my readers just to embrace it and enjoy the film and I think they’ll be really happy with the third movie because things come back in line with the books again in a way that will be a real pleasant surprise for them. So I really encourage people to look at the trilogy of movies as a whole piece and reserve your judgement on how true they are to the books until you’ve seen all three of them.
In terms of the third movie, is there anything you can tell me about how the changes to the first two movies will affect the third one?
There are some really big things, like the Right Arm, which is the rebel group, was introduced in a very different way in the second film, so that will have ramifications. But actually, I think once we’re like 10 or 15 minutes into the third film it really comes back in line to the books where they’re going to be on a Berg, which is what they named that ship, headed for the city of Denver [Colorado]. It’ll suddenly feel very familiar again. I think people are really going to think Wes Ball saved the best for last. The third movie is going to be spectacular.

Well, the Scorch was "similar" to a lot of movies. It's almost nothing like the book. The only thing that can be easily comparable is the names. The cranks are more relatable to zombies than infected humans, including their lack of speech that was used widely in the book. I don't remember a crank — if I could even call it that — speaking to Brenda before eating her leg (I think that's in that movie, or it's in WWZ).
Of course they added the Red Guard and W.I.C.K.E.D, but they added those in separate places. I'm not sure if they said it, because it wasn't distinguishable in the movie but if I hadn't read the book, I would've most likely been confused about it. Though, if I hadn't read the book, I don't think we would be discussing this irrelevant matter of how comparable they are. But, everything happens for a reason.
By the Red Guard do you mean the Right Arm? The only scene I thought was relatable to the book was the rave party scene. I thought that was done quite well. But the one change that just makes me so disappointed and ANGRY are the Cranks. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO TALK AND ACT LIKE HUMANS, THEY ARE NOT JUST UNDEAD ZOMBIES. Ugh, sorry for raging people. But even if you liked the changes, you have to agree with me on this one!
@Emma - Same thing. o:
Apparently it will be released in 2017 because of Dylan O'Brien's commitment to Teen Wolf.

The other two were released in September one year apart... Why is this one different?
