YA Movie News: The 5th Wave Casting Announcement

the fifth wave bookRick Yancey’s YA book THE 5TH WAVE is one step closer to becoming a movie! Casting announcements were made today for some key roles.

In The 5th Wave, civilization as we know it has been wiped out by alien invaders in four devastating waves. I’m a casual sci-fi fan, but even I caught 5th Wave fever when I read it last spring. I compared the book to a summer popcorn movie then and hopefully that will soon be a reality.

Today the actors playing Evan Walker and Ben Parish (aka Zombie) were announced. Let’s check out the cast:

 Chloë Grace Moretz has already been announced as the lead, Cassie:
