Description

Kristen & Brandon watch Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, the high-octane second chapter in the dystopian sci-fi saga that follows Thomas and the surviving Gladers as they escape the confines of WCKD and enter the vast, burned-out wasteland known as the Scorch. Battling deadly Cranks, brutal sandstorms, and a world ravaged by the Flare virus, the group must decide who they can trust while uncovering the truth behind WCKD’s experiments. The film mixes tense survival action, sweeping post-apocalyptic landscapes, and fast-paced chase sequences with a growing mystery that propels the series forward. Directed by Wes Ball (The Maze Runner, The Death Cure, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), the film stars Dylan O’Brien (Teen Wolf, Love and Monsters, American Assassin), Kaya Scodelario (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Crawl, Skins), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (The Queen’s Gambit, Love Actually, Game of Thrones), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian, Do the Right Thing), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, The Wire), Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel, Undone, Parenthood), and Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects, Shutter Island, The Green Mile). ____________________ Edit by CineJump Team & Praper Media Thumbnail by Praper Media www.CineJump.com www.PraperMedia.com ___________________________________________________ SOCIAL MEDIA: ~CINEPALS~ YouTube: @CinePals Insta: https://instagram.com/TheCinePals Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheCinePals ~KRISTEN STEPHENSONPINO~ Instagram: @Kris10Kesp ~BRANDON SHEALY~ Instagram: @im_brandonshealy ___________________________________________________ SHORT FILMS PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL34B19BA788E18384 Click here to subscribe and know when the next video drops: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=jabykoay Thanks for watching!!!
