The 5th Wave is a British-American science fiction thriller film directed by J Blakeson, based on Rick Yancey's eponymous novel with a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, Susannah Grant, and Jeff Pinkner. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Robinson, Ron Livingston, Maggie Siff, Alex Roe, Maria Bello, Maika Monroe, and Liev Schreiber.

Development began in March 2012 when Columbia Pictures picked up the film rights to the trilogy with Graham King's production company GK Films and Tobey Maguire's Material Pictures. Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia from October 2014 to January 2015.

The film is scheduled to be released on January 22, 2016 by Columbia Pictures in US and UK.

Plot

Four waves of increasingly deadly alien attacks have left most of Earth devastated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie Sullivan is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother Sammy. As she prepares for the fifth wave, Cassie teams up with a young man named Evan, who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him.

Production

Development

In March 2012, Columbia Pictures picked up the film rights to the trilogy with Graham King and Tobey Maguire attached as producers. On April 15, 2014, it was officially announced that Chloë Grace Moretz will star as Cassie Sullivan, and that J Blakeson will direct from the script of Susannah Grant. Nick Robinson and Alex Roe would be joining the film as Ben Parish and Evan Walker. Liev Schreiber would play the villain in the film. On August 11, Maika Monroe was cast as Ringer. The following months, Zackary Arthur, Tony Revolori, Ron Livingston, Maggie Siff, and Talitha Bateman joined the film.

Filming

Principal photography began on October 18, 2014, in Atlanta, Georgia. Three months later, on January 11, a planned explosion of a bus in downtown Macon, Georgia for the film went awry when it spread wider than planned, blowing out more than forty windows on Cotton Avenue, collapsing ceilings, destroying store fronts, setting one building on fire, and leaving soot on the brick buildings as well. The production company promised to cover all damages caused by the 3:45 am incident, but work remains incomplete one year later. Filming officially ended on January 17, 2015.

Music

In April 2015, it was revealed that Henry Jackman would be composing the music for the film.

Release

Columbia Pictures had originally set the film for a January 29, 2016 release. On April 30, 2015, they pushed the release date forward to January 15, 2016. In December 2015, they pushed the release date to January 22, 2016. It was released on January 14, 2016 in Australia and the Middle East.

Marketing

An international trailer of the film was released on Sony Pictures' official YouTube account on September 1, 2015.
