Dylan, I really liked your performance in “The First Time.” Seeing this as your first leading blockbuster movie, was there a certain mindset going into this and what do you think about being positioned as the Katniss for the male audience?
O’Brien: I never though about it like that, but holy crap. Honestly, I never thought about it like that. These things always get blown up, it seems, after we’ve done the movie. Our movie, it was such a small movie, especially for a film like this. We had the smallest scale, budget, time, we were constrained by so many things, so it never felt like this was the next “Hunger Games.” We weren’t doing it like, like I’m the next Katniss. I never felt the weight of that at all, and I still don’t, I don’t think.
Looks like The Maze Runner did have a pretty small budget.
