WATCH: 'The Maze Runner' Movie Trailer [VIDEO]: Is this the male version of 'Hunger Games'?

The Maze Runner, a young adult dystopian future book series by James Dashner, hits theaters in the form of a highly anticipated movie adaption in September 19, 2014, and today we got great new trailer to get us excited.

Described as The Hunger Games with a male lead, The Maze Runner has already garnered a sequel months before its actual release. It stars Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter, Aml Ameen, and Ki Hong Lee.

Here is a synopsis of the film:

When Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) wakes up trapped in a massive maze with a group of other boys, he has no memory of the outside world other than strange dreams about a mysterious organization known as W.C.K.D. Only by piecing together fragments of his past with clues he discovers in the maze can Thomas hope to uncover his true purpose and a way to escape. Based on the best-selling novel by James Dashner.

We're not the only ones excited for this film. James Dashner recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly to talk about the movie based on his book.

"From the first time I saw it in test footage, the view of Gally jumping into the Box from up above has been one of my favorite images," he said. "So perfect. I love Wes's vision and directing style. And, of course, Will Poulter just nails it as Gally."

He added: "I saw so much footage throughout the process without sound, and something that always struck me was how well Dylan O'Brien can act, just with his facial expressions and body movements alone. This guy is a star, period."
