CAST AND CREW

WES BALL grew up in Lake Como, Florida and attended Florida State University where he earned a BFA in Film. It is here that Wes first gained attention for his student short A Work In Progress which was honored with a Student Academy Award. It was at that time that Wes founded his own boutique VFX and Animation Studio Oddball Animation.

Soon after, Wes found himself working alongside Tom Hanks on the IMAX-3D documentary Magnificent Desolation, where Wes was the Previz Supervisor. In addition to this critically-acclaimed project, Wes and his Oddball team designed title sequences, created CG-animation and produced VFX for such companies as Playtone, Walt Disney, and Universal among others.

In 2012 Wes created, produced and directed the original 3D short film Ruin. He released it online and within a short time it had gathered over 5,000,000 hits. The film catapulted Wes into the conversations of new directors to watch. Two months later, the feature version of Ruin sold to Fox Studios in a pre-emptive bid. That same week, the studio began talks for him to direct his first feature film The Maze Runner. Produced for $34 million, the film went on to make $350 million worldwide and launched a franchise. The sequel Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials premiered in September 2015 and became a worldwide hit. Wes is currently in post-production on the climax to the series Maze Runner: The Death Cure, which is scheduled for release January 26, 2018.

Wes' film production company Oddball Entertainment has a first look deal with Fox. In addition to Ruin, Oddball's current development slate includes the fantasy-adventure Mouseguard based on the award-winning comic book series written and illustrated by David Peterson, the action-adventure In Search of Humans, the epic fantasy Fall Of Gods based on the illustrated novel created by Rasmus Berggreen and Michael Vogt, and an untitled supernatural thriller to be directed by Jason Eisener.

ROSA SALAZAR has four films set for 2018: Rosa will star as the title role of 'Alita' in Alita: Battle Angel for director Robert Rodriguez and writer/producer James Cameron which Twentieth Century Fox is releasing on July 20th, 2018. She will be reprising her starring role from the Maze Runner franchise in Maze Runner: The Death Cure which Twentieth Century Fox is releasing on February 9th, 2018. She will also be seen opposite Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gael Garcia Bernal in the upcoming independent feature The Kindergarten Teacher. Finally, Rosa is currently shooting Bird Box for director Susanne Bier opposite Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich which Netlfix is releasing in the fall of 2018.

Her past films include CHiPS for Warner Bros., Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials for Twentieth Century Fox, The Divergent Series: Insurgent for Summit, Search Party for Focus and Night Owls for Orion Pictures amongst others.

In television, she has appeared in Parenthood and Man Seeking Woman amongst other series.

Her directorial debut, the short film GOOD CRAZY, recently premiered at Sundance in narrative competition.

Salazar was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Greenbelt, Maryland.

THOMAS BRODIE-SANGSTER can currently be seen as 'Whitey Winn' in the Netflix Original Series Godless. Written and directed by Scott Frank, the series follows an outlaw terrorizing the 1880s American West, who hunts down his partner-turned-enemy, which leads him to 'La Belle', New Mexico - a town mysteriously made up entirely of women. Michelle Dockery, Jack O'Connell, and Jeff Daniels also star. In cinemas, Thomas can be seen starring in the final installment of Wes Bell's Maze Runner trilogy, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, reprising the role of 'Newt' opposite Dylan O'Brien, and Kaya Scodelario. Thomas also appeared in J.J. Abrams's Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015 and the same year he starred opposite Claire Foy, Mark Rylance, and Damian Lewis, as 'Rafe Sadler' in the Golden Globe-winning BBC/PBS Masterpiece mini-series Wolf Hall, directed by Peter Strong. From 2013-2014 Thomas played 'Jojen Reed' in Seasons 3 and 4 of HBO's award-winning Game of Thrones. He also voiced the lead character of 'Ferb' in Disney's breakout animated series Phineas and Ferb, and can currently be heard in Thunderbirds Are A Go! on Amazon Prime.

Other notable screen credits include: Sam Taylor-Johnson's Nowhere Boy, Jane Campion's Bright Star, Niall MacCormick's Albatross, independent feature The Baytown Outlaws, Ian Fitzgibbon's Death of a Superhero, Richard Curtis' Love, Actually, Universal Studios' beloved Nanny McPhee, and Stig of the Dump and Doctor Who, both for the BBC.

A dynamic young actor, DYLAN O'BRIEN is quickly emerging as one of Hollywood's brightest talents. In January 2018, he will reprise his role as Thomas in The Death Cure, the third film in the popular Maze Runner franchise. Adapted by Fox from James Dashner's novel of the same title, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, follows Thomas and friends as they search for a cure to a virus that turns people into zombies in a post- apocalyptic world.

The Maze Runner series is not the only time that O'Brien has led a big screen adaptation of a best-selling book to the screen. Earlier this year, O'Brien starred in American Assassin, from CBS Films and Lionsgate, based on Vince Flynn's best-selling book series. In the film, O'Brien plays Mitch Rapp, the popular protagonist of Flynn's novels. When his fiancé is killed in a terrorist attack, Rapp embarks on a quest for vigilante justice and is then recruited by the CIA, where he's trained by veteran operative Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton).

Also this year, O'Brien wrapped a run on the hit MTV television series Teen Wolf, a reimagining of the 1980's cult film of the same title. He became a fan favorite on the show as Stiles, whose best friend Scott McCall was turned into the teen wolf. Teen Wolf finished its sixth and final season in Summer 2017. Previously, O'Brien appeared opposite Mark Wahlberg in the Lionsgate feature film Deepwater Horizon (2016). That film, directed by Peter Berg, recounts the true story of the 2010 BP oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. O'Brien plays Caleb Holloway, the youngest crewmember aboard the doomed rig when the disaster occurred.

In 2013, O'Brien was featured in the Fox comedy The Internship, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two down on their luck salesman who get internships at Google only to find themselves competing for jobs with much younger, tech-savvy interns there.

Prior to that, O'Brien starred opposite Britt Robertson and Victoria Justice in the feature film The First Time (2012) for director Jon Kasdan. The First Time is a romantic comedy in the vein of Say Anything that follows two high school students through the first weekend of their newfound love. The film premiered in competition at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was released by Sony in Fall 2012.

His first feature film role was in the 2011 entirely improvised independent film High Road directed by Upright Citizens Brigade co-founder Matt Walsh and co-starring veteran comedic actors Horatio Sanz, Rob Riggle, Abby Elliott and Lizzy Caplan.

O'Brien was first discovered via YouTube in a series of comic online shorts, which he directed, produced and starred in. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
