Also, Sony Pictures has set “Erin Brockovich” and “The Soloist” scribe Susannah Grant to adapt Rick Yancey’s young adult sci-fi novel “The 5th Wave”.
The first installment in a planned trilogy, the story follows a 16-year-old girl who survives an alien invasion only to search for her abducted brother with the help of a boy who might be an alien in disguise.
