Wes Ball (Ruin) took to Twitter to reveal yet another star in his upcoming big screen adaptation of The Maze Runner, the first of a trilogy of dystopian novels by James Dashner. Read on for details.

According to Ball on Twitter, “Aml Ameen and Kaya Scodelario were mesmerizing on camera today. Oops. Did I just reveal @kScodders is our Teresa? :)” Scodelario (pictured) was featured in both Moon and Clash of the Titans. Ameen was featured in the upcoming flicks Evidence and Kidulthood. Will Poulter and Thomas Brodie Sangster also star.

Gotham Group will be producing The Maze Runner with Peter Kang and Daria Cercek overseeing at the studio. Noah Oppenheim wrote the first draft of the script.

Look for more on this flick soon!

Here’s the book’s synopsis:

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. But the next day a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.
