𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 — 𝗔 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗨𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀

The world of rock music has lost one of its brightest stars. Steve Harwell, the lead singer and co-founder of Smash Mouth, passed away on Monday, September 4, 2023, at his home in Boise, Idaho. He was 56 years old. His manager confirmed that he died of liver failure, a condition that he had been battling for a long time. Harwell was not only a talented singer, but also a pop culture icon. He was famous for his distinctive voice and charismatic personality, as well as his hit songs such as "All Star" and "I'm a Believer". He had an amazing career in the music industry, spanning over three decades and selling over 10 million albums worldwide with his band. He also had a colorful life, marked by his passion for music.

He was born on January 9, 1967, in Santa Clara, California. He grew up in San Jose, where he developed an interest in rap music and joined a group called F.O.S. (Freedom of Speech). He later switched to rock music and formed Smash Mouth with his friend Kevin Coleman, along with Greg Camp and Paul De Lisle. Harwell was influenced by various artists, such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and The Clash.

Harwell and his bandmates started their career in 1994, playing at local venues and festivals. They caught the attention of a radio station that played their demo songs, which led to a record deal with Interscope Records. Their debut album, Fush Yu Mang , was released in 1997 and featured their first hit single, "Walkin' on the Sun", which reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number two on the Hot 100 chart.

Their second album, Astro Lounge , was released in 1999 and became their most successful album to date. It contained their signature song, "All Star", which topped the charts in several countries and became a pop culture phenomenon. The song was featured in the soundtrack of the animated film Shrek , as well as other movies and TV shows. It also earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. Another popular song from the album was "I'm a Believer", a cover of The Monkees' classic song, which also appeared in Shrek .

Smash Mouth continued to release more albums in the 2000s and 2010s, such as Get the Picture? , The Gift of Rock , Summer Girl , Magic , and Rise and Shine . They experimented with different genres and styles, such as ska punk, reggae, country, and disco. They also collaborated with other artists, such as Baha Men, Eddie Money, J.D. McPherson, and Caravan Palace. Harwell also pursued a solo career, releasing two songs for the animated film Pororo: The Racing Adventure in 2013.

Harwell received many accolades and achievements for his music career. He won several awards from MTV, Billboard , Teen Choice , ASCAP , BMI , and others. He also performed at various events and venues around the world, such as the Super Bowl XXXVII halftime show, the World Series , the Olympic Games , Disneyland , and Carnegie Hall . He also appeared on several TV shows and movies, such as The Surreal Life , Rat Race , American Idol , Dancing with the Stars , Family Guy , Kim Possible , Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated , and SpongeBob SquarePants .

He died on September 4, 2023, after being in hospice care for final stage chronic liver failure. He is survived by his wife Michelle Laroque Harwell.

Harwell will be remembered as one of the most influential singers of his generation.

Twenty One Pilots reminisces about early days in Ohio on latest tour

Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph of Columbus indie-pop act Twenty One Pilots.

(Fueled by Ramen)

CLEVELAND, Ohio – It's a sunny day in late August and Josh Dun, drummer for indie-pop band Twenty One Pilots, is walking around Columbus wondering what time it is.

"We just got home from doing some of our own shows in Australia and then traveled to Japan for a festival," says Dun. "I'm still all completely messed up time zone wise, but it was really fun."

When Dun joined TWP founding member Tyler Joseph in 2011, the thought of global domination was a mere dream. Dun had just replaced original drummer Chris Salih and Twenty One Pilots was self-releasing music via websites like SoundCloud.

Then the record deal came. The duo signed with Fueled by Ramen, the home of pop-punk heavyweights like Paramore and Panic! at the Disco. The deal paved the way for "Vessel," Dun and Joseph's 2013 breakthrough album that spawned two top-10 singles on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.

The album's success also gave Twenty One Pilots a bigger platform to showcase its unique blend of rock and pop. The band performed at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards in March and at the inaugural AP Music Awards in Cleveland this past July.

Twenty One Pilots stole the show at the APMAs when Joseph climbed to the top of the scaffolding, shocking everyone, including Dun, who relived the experience with us during a recent phone interview:

Take me back to the AP Music Awards.

That was a really fun night. It's cool that it was the first year for that show and it was cool to be an Ohio band and kind of represent our home state. Our families were there. It was nice for us to rub shoulders with bands that we don't know of or know, but might not play with.

Were you surprised by the nominations or the invite to perform?

I don't know if we really fit with what else was going on. In a way, I kind of like that and I feel honored that they would have us there even if we don't fit the mold of that scene.

There was a lot going on during your performance. Do you plan something like Tyler climbing the stage?

Some of the stuff we do is really dependent on the venue and what it looks like. I don't always know what Tyler's going to do. Sometimes we're in the middle of a song, I look around and he's already halfway up the scaffolding.

Do you worry?

One time, we were in Korea and for that particular festival, we had him strap a GoPro on his chest and watched him climb all the way up the truss. Watching that footage makes my hands sweaty. That guy scares me sometimes, but I trust he's going to be safe.

The first two shows of your fall tour, in Columbus, sold out in a matter of days.

It's crazy. When we started we never knew how many people were going to show up. There were times when no one came or maybe just three or four people. Now it's kind of cool and exciting for Tyler and I to look at each other and realize there are actually going to be people there.

Does it feel different when you perform in Ohio?

It's interesting because I'm not in Ohio very often, but I love coming here and thinking about the times where we would only play Ohio at the Grog Shop multiple times and would love it. Anytime we come back to Ohio, in Cleveland or Columbus, it's a special time.

What can people expect on this tour?

We're changing a couple of things. I think until we're done playing music, which will be when we die; our goal is going to be to keep outdoing ourselves. It gets to be challenging to put together a different set list each time. We try to get creative with how to approach a song. We try to be more strategic and intentional with how things look aesthetically on stage with the setup and the lighting. We're constantly brain storming. For us, performing and playing is our favorite thing to do.

"Vessel" has been out for about a year and a half. Is there a timeline for new music?

We're always working on stuff. There's a bunch of songs written. The next step at the end of this year or the beginning of next year is to partner with a producer that meets us where we're at from a stylistic standpoint. I personally want to up my game drumming wise on this next record. We can't wait to get back to the studio and bring these ideas to life.

Colin & Jared and another Dublin thing that connects them: U2

Colin Farrell and Jared Leto have one thing in common beyond a doubt: their affinity for the band U2. Not only affinity for, but also proximity to them.

Jared & U2

Let's look at the picture below. It hints at U2 gifting the Leto brother's band Thirty Seconds to Mars (30STM) a lot of Guinness and Champagne and leaving their 'best wishes' and a recipe to mix all of that together after 30STM's Dublin concert on May 30, 2018.

Pretty friendly. Yeah, and why not?

In 2017 Jared had in fact presented the 'Global Icon' Award To U2 at the MTV EMAs like a good ol' friend and with a lot of praise, framing the influence of U2's 1987 album The Joshua Tree on Shannon and him in the 80ies like some kind of founding myth for 30STM. It's not even hyperbole: they had frequent U2 collaborators Steve Lillywhite and Flood produce their album This Is War (2009) and Lillywhite Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams (2013). Unsurprisingly they sound very U2ish.

Fun fact: the picture was posted on Twitter on May 31 - Colin Farrell's 42nd birthday.

Colin & U2

Colin Farrell is some kind of honorary member of U2 since - forever. A google search reaps plenty of evidence of him going to concerts or hanging out with them at PR events, award shows or just hanging out.

He's so close with the band, he even met his on-off-girlfriend through them, who was The Edge's PA. It's not only him, all Farrells are friendly with the band. In 2011 Bono attended Eamon Farrell's birthday party, who's Colin's brother, even though Colin wasn't present, and so on. I don't know if this is a common Dubliner thing, maybe all Dubliners know U2 personally in some way...

Fun fact: Colin's godmother and aunt Martina is married to a man who owned U2's favorite club among others in the 1980ies. U2 once flew from somewhere in Europe back to Ireland just to go to that club.

In 2003, Colin, at the height of superstardom, and Bono were practically glued together. The picture below shows them at an Oscar party (Jared was there too).

Jared & U2

Jared has crossed paths at least with The Edge and Bono long before 2017. No wonder as Bono is a sucker for fame and money and has been mingling in Hollywood society for decades. In 2003, the year Colin was glued to Bono's side, Jared's hardly been a total stranger to the "U2'ers" either...

The picture below shows him at a Golden Globes party in 2003. (Colin was there too) Jared's girlfriend Cameron Diaz, at the height of her stardom and who would dump him for Justin Timberlake shortly after this, had starred in Scorsese’s Gangs on New York (2002). U2 had written a song for the soundtrack and won a Golden Globe award for it, but not the Oscar. In fact, the movie won none of its ten nominations. All Oscar hopes for that movie were squashed.

We see Jared here kind of cockblocking/chatting up Daniel Day Lewis whom he to this day quotes as an inspiration and role model as an actor.

Colin & Jared & U2

Alexander (2004) was shot on three different locations in Morocco, England and Thailand from late September 2003 to mid February 2004. Right after returning home from the Alexander set in Thailand, Jared started to perform Where the streets have no name (WTSHNN) at 30STM concerts. Along with this the infamous Alexander-ish song A Modern Myth was played live for the first time, which made it the first song from their 2005 album A Beautiful Lie that saw the light of day.

After shooting for months with ultra U2 fan Colin, choosing a U2 song that talks of sunlight, dust clouds, poison rain, the desire to break free and be together - and desert plains.... Hello Morocco nostalgia?! Most of the cast were Irish dudes culturally socialized in the 80ies. I can easily imagine this song being an unoffical hymn at parties. Besides Macarena, maybe.

I think, for Jared WTSHNN is linked to the experience of shooting Alexander, which he said was full of "adventures" and changed his life and let him "fall in love with the desert". Both Jared and Colin have talked about the "amazing" experience they had in Morocco. It's telling that after general shooting for Alexander had stopped merely a week prior (Feb 13, 2004), Jared flew back to L.A., still looking like Hephaistion and all, and played these two songs.

In 2008 Colin and Jared were in Park City, Utah, for several days. Why?

The Sundance Film Festival.

Colin promoted In Bruges (2007) and the documentary Kicking it (2008). He was executive producer and narrator for the latter. In Bruges was set as the opening night film and premiered on January 17. The film would rehabilitate Colin as an actor after the ill-received Alexander had almost tanked his career and plunged him into the arguably most severe personal crisis of his life.

In January 2008 Colin was 31 years old and 24 months into his struggle for sobriety. His little son had been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that would impede his intellectual development and come with medical complications. Colin's had to wrestle with a stalker, with the publication of an unauthorized sex tape and a romantic liaison with a 21-year-old medical student that took a morbid turn when her depressive ex-boyfriend couldn't handle the break-up and committed suicide. And certainly there were some more problems that didn't go public.

In Bruges though would win him a Golden Globe 2009. A ray of light on the horizon...

Fun fact: Colin's character is named Ray. Jared had played a Ray before in Lonely Hearts Killers (2006) with Salma Hayek, who had starred alongside Colin in Ask the Dust (2006) right before she went on to shoot with Jared. A character called Rayon would then be Jared's Oscar ticket in 2014.

Jared had no movies to promote at Sundance 2008, he was just there... he hopped from party to party accompanied by Brent Bolthouse - a man generally described as a L.A. "nightlife impresario and businessman" - to whom Jared was glued to in public for most of the 2000s until he was suddently and inexplicably not. Jared's most memorable contribution to the festival that year was making out with Paris Hilton for some reason.

Jared and Colin with festival director Geoff Gilmore.

On January 19, 2008 U2 graced the Park City, Utah with their presence to introduce another of their vanity projects: U2 3D. "U2 3D mobilizes digital 3-D and surround-sound technology to plunge us into almost supernatural proximity to the musicians." Alright...

Jared and Brent attended the first screening of U2 3D. The two screenings and parties for U2 3D were the hottest tickets in town that year. Long waiting lines and exclusive guest lists.

Before the screening there was a U2 3D cocktails and dinner party at the Bon Appetit Supper Club. Colin was invited. He's chatting to the U2 3D director Catherine Owens here.

But he left early to attend the screening of Kicking it. From there he went to the after party at Greenhouse at the top of Main and hung out some more with Brendan Gleeson and Mary-Kate Olsen. The U2 3D after party was at the same place. One party became the next and Colin and the U2ers were present.

The picture shows Colin and Mary-Kate cuddling at the In Bruges party, two days before the U2 3D premiere.

Fun fact: Mr. Leto isn't a stranger to the Olsen twins, especially Ashley, either...

I'm pretty sure the two well-connected L.A. hipsters Leto and Bolthouse didn't miss out on the U2 3D after party. There were rumors of the band performing there, which didn't happen in the end. They somehow had secured tickets for the screening, which, by all accounts, wasn't an easy task, they probably made their way inside the after party as well.

It's improbable that Colin and Jared roamed the same street at the same festival for some days, and didn't take notice of each other, not even amidst the U2 hype in that year.

Especially when an Irish newspaper article would quote Jared saying something like this shortly after this (January 25, 2008):

I don't know if you've spent any time in Colin's company, but that guy is just so amazing. His zest for life is infectious. I consider him to be a good friend and hopefully if he's in Dublin when we're there, we'll get to hang out.

So why not hang out in Park City? Proof of this "good friendship" is hard do come by since at least 2004.

U2 360° tour 2009

So this is Jared in a workflow in his home studio cutting the Kings and Queens music video. Only two months to go until the release of This Is War. Maybe he's a bit distracted because all the celebrities flock out to Pasadena to see U2 on their 360° tour at the Rose Bowl. Among them - of course - Colin Farrell, seen here in the backstage area. He's found himself a second baby mama while filming a movie with her the year before.

Fun fact: the liaison unfortunately overlapped with his relationship with writer Emma Forrest to whom he also proposed parenthood, as one can read in her very fine, bittersweet memoir Your Voice In My Head (2011).

Her name is Alicja Bachleda-Curuś. She's 26 years old in this picture (baby daddy is 33) and has delivered a baby son only 18 days ago but you wouldn't know it just looking at her. It's unclear whether the reIationship at this point is still a romantic one, or if it ever really was, because he was already busy thinking about Elizabeth Taylor when he came home from the hospital. Alright... Alicja's baby daddy is about to dump her, but provide for her. That kind of thing.

I somehow love that Henry is her spitting image nowadays!

MTV Unplugged (2011)

In 2011 30STM performed a very good version of WTSHNN during their session. Obviously still fans of the song.

Fun fact: Colin was in NYC on the day (May 13) the MTV Unplugged session with the WTSHNN cover was recorded.

He was papped around Times Square, early and late evening in front of the (then) Foxwoods Theatre (right next to the New Victory Theater) looking a bit pissed.

Apparently he was on his way to a preview performance for the ill-fated Spider-Man musical Turn off the dark that had music written by his buddies Bono and The Edge. After a hiatus for creative overhaul preview shows had begun again May 12th.

Fun fact: this whole Spiderman musical idea suffered from hubris, not unlike Alexander had, which was mostly rooted in this constellation:

Other pics and a video of Colin were taken in front of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, wether it was the next morning or not is hard to tell. Colin takes a cab and off he goes… He's in different attire and not accompanied by his sister Claudine, so probably the day after, May 14.

Anyway, he went to NYC with his sister, and though all the available paparazzi fotos give the date as May 13, there's a chance the Farrell siblings were personally invited by the producers, namely Bono and the Edge, to attend the reopening (preview) show which was set for the 12th. Whichever date it was, the fact remains that Colin was in town when Jared recorded MTV Unplugged.

Fun fact: Unplugged also featured a cover version of Message in a bottle by The Police, that wasn't televised (along with Alibi). They played an acoustic version of Message in a bottle 18 times while on tour in 2005 and 9 times in 2006, then several years did not. 2005 was the year Colin was shooting Miami Vice ending in an OD, and 2006 his first year sober after rehab.

Jared had multi day rehearsals for Unplugged at the (former) Sony music studios which were in 20 min walking/driving distance from Times Square. All of the places are in proximity.

Wouldn’t Colin pay a visit to a friend he used to be close to, a fellow U2 fan? It would be so fitting for him as a gesture of support.

Alas, nothing of the kind was ever known…

Maze Runner su Netflix: 5 curiosità che forse non sapevate sulla trilogia di Wes Ball

Maze Runner - Il labirinto, Maze Runner: La fuga e Maze Runner - La rivelazione sono tutti e tre disponibili su Netflix e hanno scalato velocemente la Top 10. Siamo andati a scovare qualche aneddoto sui film diretti da Wes Ball.

Stiamo diventando davvero vecchi? Sono passati 10 anni da Maze Runner - Il labirinto, primo film della fortunata trilogia cinematografica tratta dall'omonima saga di romanzi sci-fi per ragazzi di James Dashner, seguito da Maze Runner: La fuga e Maze Runner - La rivelazione. Ora che tutte e tre le pellicole sono disponibili sul servizio streaming per antonomasia, ci sembra l'occasione perfetta per fare un recap sul dietro le quinte della realizzazione dei film.

Maze Runner - Il labirinto: una scena corale del film

Ma di cosa parla Maze Runner? Narrata in ordine non cronologico, la trama della trilogia racconta come la Terra sia stata devastata da una serie di Eruzioni Solari che hanno portato con loro l''epidemia di una grave malattia contagiosa, chiamata l'Eruzione, che porta alla totale follia e morte di chi viene infettato. All'inizio della storia facciamo la conoscenza del protagonista Thomas, imprigionato nella Radura, da cui dovrà cercare di uscire.

1. Punto di partenza… e di arrivo

Maze Runner - Il labirinto: Dylan O'Brien in una scena del film

La saga letteraria di Maze Runner sembra non avere fine oltre ad essere il punto di partenza dei film di Wes Ball. James Dashner infatti oltre alla trilogia principale composta dai romanzi omonimi, Il labirinto (2009), La fuga (2010) e La rivelazione (2011), ha scritto due prequel, La mutazione (2012) e Il codice (2016). Ci sono anche un libro complementare, The Maze Runner Files (2013), e uno spin-off, The Crack Palace, ambientato durante gli eventi del terzo libro ed incentrato sulle vicissitudini di Newt in seguito alla separazione dai compagni. Esiste anche un sequel, Il veliero del labirinto (2021), che dovrebbe formare il primo capitolo di una nuova trilogia sequel, ambientata 73 anni dopo La rivelazione.

2. Promising Young Cast

Maze Runner - Il labirinto: una scena tratta dal film fantascientifico

La trilogia cinematografica di Maze Runner ha avuto davvero parecchio successo rispetto ad altre storie ambientate in un futuro distopico sul grande schermo degli anni 2000. I numeri al botteghino mondiale infatti parlano di 348 milioni di dollari per il primo film, 312 milioni per il secondo e 288 milioni per il terzo. Grazie al successo, i suoi giovani e promettenti interpreti sono stati lanciati insieme alle proprie carriere: il poker protagonista, composto da Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster e Will Poulter, fu trionfatore all'epoca ai Teen Choice e agli MTV Movie Awards, i premi più vicini alle produzioni audiovisive per target giovane. Eppure proprio Dylan O'Brien inizialmente venne scartato dal regista Wes Ball poiché la sua folta chioma gli ricordava troppo lo stile di Teen Wolf, la serie di cui era co-protagonista in quegli anni. Una foto del ragazzo coi capelli corti fu galeotta quando finì per caso nelle mani del cineasta, che tornò sui propri passi a patto che il giovane attore leggesse in solamente quattro giorni il primo romanzo per prepararsi al ruolo. Oggi possiamo vedere l'interprete in Love and Monsters su Netflix ma non nel film sequel di Teen Wolf, al quale non ha preso parte.

Maze Runner - Il labirinto: Kaya Scodelario in una scena nei panni di Teresa

Sempre sulla piattaforma, Kaya Scodelario (Teresa) è invece divenuta co-protagonista accanto a Theo James di The Gentlemen, la serie di Guy Ritchie tratta dal suo omonimo film dl 2019 - oltre che nel quinto capitolo della saga di Pirati dei Caraibi - mentre all'epoca venne presa grazie alla propria interpretazione in Skins. Thomas Brodie-Sangster, visibile su Netflix anche ne La regina degli scacchi accanto ad Anya Taylor-Joy, è anche nel cast della miniserie Pistol nei panni dell'anarchico agente della band e protagonista del serial The Artful Dodger nel ruolo del personaggio titolare, il Jack Dawkins di Oliver Twist di cui è sequel e spin-off: lui si propose sia per il ruolo di Gally che per quello di Newt, ma ottenne alla fine quest'ultimo e, a differenza del co-star, non ha mai letto i libri originari.

Will Poulter in Maze Runner - Il labirinto

Il ruolo di Gally andò invece a Will Poulter, protagonista di un'altra saga fantasy per ragazzi, Le cronache di Narnia, molto più sfortunata al cinema e che potrebbe avere una seconda vita in streaming proprio su Netflix nei prossimi anni. Oltre che come protagonista dell'esperimento interattivo di Black Mirror sulla piattaforma, Bandersnatch, Poulter è in Midsommar, è diventato Adam Warlock nel Marvel Cinematic Universe e figura nel cast di Dopesick e come special guest star della seconda stagione di The Bear. C'è infine chi è arrivato al limite dello stalking: Blake Cooper riempì di messaggi il profilo Twitter di Wes Ball per convincerlo a dargli il ruolo di Chuck, e alla fine lo ottenne.

3. Special Training… o forse no

Maze Runner: La fuga, una scena d'azione tratta dal film

Il giovane cast venne scelto senza accertarsi delle loro capacità fisiche da parte della produzione. Vennero quindi mandati in una vera e propria sfida di sopravvivenza in mezzo alla natura: costruirsi strumenti utili a cavarsela e per ripararsi dalla pioggia, insomma entrare in un vero e proprio survival mood, anche se supervisionati. Tra i potenziali pericoli, ben 25 specie di serpenti velenosi e addirittura letali. I produttori scoprirono così che gli interpreti non necessitavano di ulteriore training fisico per iniziare le riprese. Nonostante questo, Kaya Scodelario che voleva immergersi completamente nel ruolo di Teresa, prese lezioni per conto proprio, senza voler utilizzare controfigure nelle pellicole. A Thomas Brodie-Sangster invece serviva l'abilità di zoppicare con naturalezza per Newt e gli venne un'idea geniale, degna dello scienziato che ha ispirato il nome del suo personaggio: mettersi dei sassolini nella scarpa.

4. In Nomen Omen

Maze Runner - La rivelazione: Dylan O'Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster e Ki Hong Lee in una scena del film

A proposito di ispirazioni, In Nomen Omen dice il detto, ed effettivamente i nomi dei protagonisti della saga letteraria (e quindi del franchise cinematografico) non sono stati scelti a caso ma intendono omaggiare personaggi storici realmente esistiti e divenuti celebri per aver portato delle importanti innovazioni e scoperte all'interno del proprio campo, come la scienza, la matematica, la fisica e la filosofia. Tra questi citiamo: l'inventore Thomas Edison per il protagonista maschile, Madre Teresa per la protagonista femminile, Isaac Newton per Newt, il nostro Galileo per Gally, l'evoluzionista Charles Darwin per Chuck, Albert Einstein per Alby, il Primo Ministro inglese Winston Churchill per Winston e il Padre Fondatore Benjamin Franklin per Ben.

5. Ispirazione cinematografica

Dylan O'Brien con il regista Wes Ball sul set di Maze Runner - Il labirinto

Quali film hanno ispirato Wes Ball tanto per il primo capitolo quanto per i suoi sequel Maze Runner: La Fuga e Maze Runner - La rivelazione? Due sono le ispirazioni cinematografiche solo apparentemente antitetiche, ma forse complementari. Da un lato Steven Spielberg che ha cresciuto molti di noi con i suoi film di formazione e d'avventura, principalmente col suo cult Jurassic Park, che ha avuto sequel e spin-off a sua volta. Dall'altro Terrence Malick, legato nella sua filmografia alla natura e una visione di cinema tra il naturalistico e l'ancestrale e forse proprio per questo legato alle tematiche di Maze Runner. Ball dichiarò che si fece una maratona di tutte le pellicole di Malick prima di iniziare a girare.
