The Maze Runner
O’Brien stars in Wes Ball’s adaptation of the James Dashner sci fi-action novel. 16-year-old Thomas awakes with no memory in the centre of a mysterious maze, and must discover its secrets to escape. Co-starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Aml Ameen, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, and Ki Hong Lee.
It’s got a great cast and a great first-time director
High Road
O’Brien stars in the improv comedy directed by Matt Walsh. Jimmy, a rebellious teen, tries to keep his neighbour from getting high during a road trip to Oakland. Co-starring James Pumphrey, Abby Elliott, and Rob Riggle. Walsh:
When we cast Dylan – Dylan was the only role we cast – he had no improv experience. I plugged him into [Upright Citizens Brigade], I got him into an intensive for like four weeks … He literally was improvising with the heavyweights of improv as far as I’m concerned. The best people I’ve ever played with – and I’ve done a lot of improv – were in this movie, so he really was challenged to step up his game. He did a great job.
The Internship
O’Brien plays Stuart in the comedy directed by Shawn Levy. Stuart and a team of misfit Google interns try to secure jobs at the company using unorthodox tactics that include drunkenness, lapdancing, and Quidditch matches. Co-starring Vince Vaughan, Owen Wilson, Max Minghella, Josh Gad, Tobit Raphael, Max Minghella, Tiya Sircar, and Rose Byrne.
It was the coolest experience ever, for all of us. I’m 21 years old. Five years ago, I was just like a normal kid in high school with my buddies going out and seeing Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn movies. Literally, nonstop quoting these guys around school and joking around all of the time. So it’s just so crazy that I got to work with them.

In the teen comedy directed by Jon Kasdan, O’Brien’s character Dave Hodgman discovers what it is like to fall in love. Co-starring Britt Robertson, Victoria Justice, Craig Roberts, and Joshua Malina.
It was really funny, you know, because you shoot an entire day of sex scenes … but it ended up being way easier than I thought.
