Cinema's future continues to look bleak as the latest post-apocalyptic action thriller, The Maze Runner, follows in the dark footsteps of such franchises as The Hunger Games and Divergent. Despite similar themes of life and death set against the backdrop of an oppressive regime, the industry is not yet ready to call time on its spate of adolescents-in-peril movies.
Wes Ball makes an impressive directorial debut with The Maze Runner, and describes his film as "a little like Lord of the Flies meets Lost. These boys had to build their world and create their own rules."
