HIT GIRL TO SAVE THE WORLD, BY THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW-ON THE 5TH WAVE.
Principal photography has commenced on the highly anticipated motion picture The 5th Wave,
Columbia Pictures' adaptation of the bestselling young adult novel.
The action-adventure film is directed by J Blakeson, with a screenplay
by Susannah Grant, based on the book by Rick Yancey. The producers are Tobey Maguire, Graham King, Lynn Harris, and Matthew Plouffe. Denis O'Sullivan and Richard Middleton are the executive producers.
Slated for domestic release on January 29, 2016, The 5th Wave stars Chloe Grace Moretz as Cassie, Nick Robinson as Ben Parish aka "Zombie," Ron Livingston as Dad/Oliver, Maggie Siff as Mom/Lisa, Alex Roe as Evan Walker, Maika Monroe as Ringer, Zackary Arthur as Sam, and Liev Schreiber as Vosch.
In The 5th Wave, set in the present day, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, 16-year-old Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie meets a young man who may become her final hope.
Throughout photography, fans will have unrivaled access to the production, including a wealth of behind-the-scenes photos, interaction with cast and crew, and on-set updates via social media. "One of the ways Rick Yancey made The 5th Wave so special is that it feels like it's happening right now – and the characters react as teenagers today would react," said Dwight Caines, president, Theatrical Marketing for Sony Pictures. "To stay faithful to that, we are making sure fans are on the inside from Day One."
Moviegoers can stay up-to-date on all things 5th Wave by following the movie and interacting on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @5thWaveMovie.
Blakeson's production team includes Enrique Chediak as the Director of Photography, Jon Billington as the Production Designer, Paul Rubell as the Editor, and Sharen Davis as the Costume Designer.
The 5th Wave is a phenomenon in young adult literature, with 21 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list, nearly 300,000 hardcover units sold, and 80,000 e-books sold. The novel, which has also had tremendous crossover appeal with adults, was honored with the 2014 Red House Children's Book Award in the UK. The second book in Yancey's planned trilogy, The Infinite Sea, was published last month.
Hannah Minghella and Andrea Giannetti will oversee the project for the studio.

CELEBRITY Q AND A: DENZEL WASHINGTON! (EXCLUSIVE!)
I was at a local, L.A. movie palace,watching The Equalizer starring America's Brother- Denzel Washington. I'm such a fan, I stayed through the entire end credits,enjoying Eminem's latest single,Guts Over Fear.
Anyway,the film ended with the Sony tag-line,"Be Moved" and the lights go up. I heard a curious,Southern voice state,"So, how was the film?" I really didn't hear him,as I was gathering my items from the mall.
He repeated his question,continuing a tad confused "You've spent two hours watching me,and you don't know who I am? " I then hear a lady shout from the back, "Fuck, that's Denzel!"
I look over and see the two time Oscar winner,dressed not unlike- as he was in the film: A blue dress shirt, grey dress pants,with a small bag of items of his own,under his arm.
The lady then begs Lincoln Rhyme for an autograph.He quickly looks at his watch,and simply states "I can't. Sorry,my family." As the lady audible sighs over this development, The Man on Fire turned back to me, and for the third time and restated "So, how was the film?"
"WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS!!!"-Denzel from Man on Fire: 2004.
I leaped to my feet, startling the both of us for a moment. I then demanded, "IT WAS GREAT!" The Mighty Quinn looks fairly pleased with response,nods happily. He then cocked his head & answered "Great,huh?" I then get kind of nervous,like I had sold out and revise my answer,"It was VERY good."
Washington smirked and then stated- like a game show host, "Well, I have to take your first answer-Great." He then turned around,laughed triumphantly and quickly made his way to the exit.
