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 PlouffeDenis 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.

STEVEN SPIELBERG, WAS BEHIND THE MEGAN FOX FIRING-AFTER HER HITLER COMMENT.

From Popeater.

Exec Producer Spielberg to Director Micheal Bay-"You know the Hitler thing....fire her right now."

He replaced "Fox was replaced by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley" on the upcoming Transformers sequel,Dark of the Moon.

Fox's star shown bright "after the first two Transformers movie
and it was due to her performance in them which helped her to be named
one of the sexiest people in the world."

The rancor started "between Fox and Bay" in 2009 in a London magazine article: "[Bay] wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and
he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from
set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his
personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward."

Fox went on to find Bay's off set antics "endearing," because "He has no social skills at all. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life, and then on set he's a tyrant," said Fox.

Bay later confirmed "that he was not hurt by the said the Hitler comment."

Spielberg and other crew member sure were, when the moody 25-year-old actress, expressed her view. At an open forum at Bay's website, one unknown crew member defended the firing ,"We've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies."

JENNIFER ANISTON SWITCHS BACK TO TV FOR COUGAR TOWN-
-From EW
Former Scrubs leader and Cougar Town Exec. producer Bill Lawrence spills his guts:


“She’s going to play Courteney’s shrink named Bonnie. Kind of a get-
too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in
real-life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the
life Jules’ wishes she has.


It took us a while to find the show. And once we did and once it was
clicking, I think that not only did Courteney feel comfortable talking
to Jen about doing it, but comfortable in how funny she thinks the
show is and that Jen would like it and fit into this world really
well.


It starts and ends with Courteney and Jennifer being really great
friends and excited to work together again —especially doing comedy
together. Every day that those two talk they have more ideas about
[the role]. It’s definitely something they’re both involved in
creatively.


We’re very intentionally implying that it’s a therapist Courteney has
been using for a while, and we’re certainly not going to make it like
they’ll never see each other again. So I’m crossing my fingers that if
she has a good time it’ll happen again.”

Later.
