 Dylan O'Brien Return to Work is Set

Actor Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) who plays Jorge in The Maze Runner series, says filming on the 3rd film, The Death Cure, will resume on May 15. Filming ceased March 17 when Dylan O’Brien was injured on set after a stunt sequence.

Speaking to E! on the red carpet during the Jungle Book Premiere, Esposito said of his co-star, “He’s doing well. He did have an accident on set. He’s healing very, very well. He got put back together a couple of weeks ago. We look to be going back May 15.”

Esposito went on to describe the serious nature of the Dylan’s accident, “He got his bell rung. I would imagine many who witnessed it thought that was it. He’s a survivor.”

The actor says Dylan’s attitude in recovery is good and that will help, “One good thing about Dylan that I think is going to help him get back on schedule with us very soon is that he has a great attitude.”

In the hours after the news of Dylan’s injuries broke, Esposito says he was frantic for information about the accident in Cache Creek, British Columbia. “I’m calling producers; they were really lovely about talking to me. I called cast members, all this stuff. I said, ‘What am I doing?’ I took out my phone and texted him (Dylan), knowing he wouldn’t get it for about three days when he was laying in a hospital getting ready for surgery.”

The text reportedly read, “If you wanted to get out of work, I have connections at the studio. I would have got you off for a couple of days. You didn’t have to do that to yourself.”

Esposito says Dylan texted him back saying, “I almost broke my face laughing at your message.”

 Is Hoechlin Overexposed?

Tyler Hoechlin is everywhere right now both physically and in the media. In advance of the wide release of Everybody Wants Some!!!, Hoechlin and the rest of the “team” from Richard Linklater’s new film have visited 10 states and done at least 90 interviews in the past two weeks.

The good folk over to the Daily Tyler Hoechlin on Tumblr have put together a list of his travels so you can keep up.

The movie is getting good reviews from critics and audiences. That bodes well for Hoechlin’s future career options but all this hype also runs the risk of overexposing our favorite former werewolf.

Of course, it’s probably just a matter of perspective. Since Hoechlin is someone I follow and report on, there seems to be an extraordinary amount of promotional material out right now. It’s so much that I’ve actually become bored seeing it all.

<p class="MsoNormal">The general rule in media is that when the journalists feel they’re sick of a topic, most regular folks are just hearing about it so it’s probably just the right amount of Hoechlin promotion for the masses.

<p class="MsoNormal">Matt Carter (who is usually very good) and Spoiler TV (who I never trust) both fell for an apparently fake tweet from Australia over the weekend.

<p class="MsoNormal">Someone reported that Cody Christian told the crowd at the Aussie Comic Con that his Theo character is not dead and would be returning for Season 6.

<p class="MsoNormal">It spread like wildfire around the less reputable corners of the Teen Wolf Fandom. In an effort to shut it down, Cody took to twitter himself. <p class="MsoNormal">The truth is, as Jeff told Teen Wolf News a few weeks back, Theo is not dead but there are no plans for him to return at this point.

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf Writer Will Wallace has been answering fan questions on his twitter account, seemingly non-stop, for the past week.

<p class="MsoNormal">Who is Wallace? He started working in the business back in 2008 on a couple of shows you’ve never heard of. He also worked in the production office on NBC’s Community for a while. <p class="MsoNormal">Most recently, he wrote two of your favorite episodes from Season 5 (Codominance, Ouroboros) and had a hand in writing some episodes in earlier seasons. “I started as a PA,” Wallace explains, “worked up to writers' assistant, proved I had good ideas, was given a chance to write 2 eps, now I'm a writer!” It took him 9 years to get where he is now.



<p class="MsoNormal">The script they’re shooting this week is his latest effort and will show off the newly refurbished McCall Home and may introduce something exciting and new. “It's going to be action-packed and we may or may not meet someone new to the Teen Wolf universe. Stay tuned!”

<p class="MsoNormal">A lot of Wallace’s fan answers were of the “stay tuned” and “wait and see” variety but, in the pages and pages of replies, he also shared some solid information.
 * Q. Why are Malia’s eyes blue?


 * A. “She has blue eyes because she accidentally killed her (adoptive) mother and sister the night the Desert Wolf attacked them.”


 * Q. How are you handling Dylan O’Brien’s absence?


 * A. “Don’t worry about us. We got it covered. :)”


 * Q. Is Peter Hale coming back for Season 6?


 * A. “Maybe! Tune in and find out!”


 * Q. Will the Malia/Lydia friendship develop?


 * A. “Oh yes!”


 * Q. Will there be more SCILES in Season 6?


 * A. “Yes, we'll see more Sciles.”

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the questions about characters and ships, Wallace shared the pitch he offered up to kill off Stiles’ Jeep in the final episode of Season 4. “Let me set the scene. In order to take down the last Berserker at the end of the season, the Callaveras use every bullet they have. The Berserker is shot to shot right in front of Roscoe. At the end, Stiles comes out and sees everyone alive, but … He WAILS in anguish and stumbles over to his smoking and bullet riddled Jeep. He collapses and curses God to the high heavens.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Wallace also promises we won’t have to wait long to meet the new S6 baddie, he shows up in the very first episode, “It will set up the awesome mystery of the season and introduce the pack to a new kind of villain.”

<p class="MsoNormal">He also revealed that the writers’ room has been discussing one of the oldest questions in Teen Wolf Fandom, “I do know Stiles's first name. We've talked about revealing it this season. Keep watching to find out!”

<p class="MsoNormal">If you have a few hours to spare, I recommend checking out his twitter replies (@willwritesgood) for more.
