Немного (не)нужной информации. На инглише, ибо переводчик из меня никакой.
Думаю, любителям обоснуя и подробностей пригодится))))

New Mexico is about to get scorching hot. The state landed “The Maze Runner Chapter II: The Scorch Trials.”
Production will take place in and around Albuquerque this month through late January. It is being housed at Albuquerque Studios.
“It’s great to welcome such an experienced production team to the state,” said Nick Maniatis, director of the New Mexico State Film Office. “We’re happy to play a small part on the making of this popular franchise.”

According to the New Mexico State Film Office, the production will employ at least 250 New Mexico crew members, 18 New Mexico actors, and approximately 1,800 local background talent.
“We are excited to have ‘The Scorch Trials’ film in our city,” said Mayor Richard J. Berry. “This sequel to the very popular ‘The Maze Runner’ will have a tremendous economic impact to Albuquerque.” The film stars Dylan O’Brien, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Dexter Darden, Giancarlo Esposito, Patricia Clarkson and Nathalie Emmanuel. Esposito is no stranger to New Mexico as he spent a few seasons as Gus Fring on the Emmy Award-winning show “Breaking Bad.”
