Wes Ball is set to develop and direct a new movie in the Planet of the Apes franchise!

This will mark the first new Planet of the Apes movie since Disney acquired Fox, the studio that originally produced the franchise.

The reboot trilogy that launched in 2011 with origin story Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a smash success for Fox. THR reports that it’s not yet decided if the new movie will be a reboot or an addition to the trilogy.

Wes directed the Maze Runner trilogy, which grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide.

Dylan O’Brien and his Maze Runner: The Death Cure co-stars stepped out for the premiere in Paris, France!

The 26-year-old actor hit the red carpet at the event held at Le Grand Rex on Wednesday (January 24).

He looked sharp in a dark blue checked suit.

Dylan was joined by the film’s other stars Kaya Scodelario and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, as well as director Wes Ball.

On Monday, Dylan rocked a more casual look for the UK premiere in London, England.

The final trailer for Maze Runner: The Death Cure is here, and it looks epic!

The action-packed clip dropped on Friday (December 8), ahead of its January 26 release date.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure is the third and last chapter in the trilogy from director Wes Ball, based on the adaptation of author James Dashner‘s YA trilogy.

It stars Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Giancarlo Espositio, Aidan Gillen, Ki Hong Lee, Barry Pepper, and Patricia Clarkson.

Here’s the synopsis: In the epic finale to the Maze Runner saga, Thomas (Dylan) leads his group of escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions the Gladers have been asking since they first arrived in the maze.

Wes Ball, the director of all three The Maze Runner movies, is giving an update on Dylan O’Brien following his on-set injuries that caused production on the third film to shut down temporarily.

“Well, it’s been a whirlwind of emotions these past few days. I’ve been overwhelmed with feelings of anger and sadness and guilt,” the director wrote in a statement on Twitter.

“But ultimately I find myself left with just a deep love and respect for Dylan. He is one tough cookie. I’m sorry for the grief this accident has caused his friends and family as well as my wonderful cast and crew,” Wes continued. “It’s scary seeing your friend get hurt, but fortunately, Dylan is going to be just fine. After a few weeks of rest and recovery he will be back up and running to finish our adventure together. All the best.”

Several cast members from the movie have spoken out with messages of support for Dylan amid the injuries. It has been reported that he suffered multiple broken bones, though that is not confirmed.
