More casting news has come in for the feature film adaptation of The 5th Wave, a young adult sci-fi novel penned by Rick Yancy. The Wrap is reporting that Liev Schreiber (Scream) is in final negotiations to play the villain opposite Chloe Moretz in Sony’s sci-fi extravaganza.

Susannah Grant is writing the screenplay, and J. Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) is attached to direct. Nick Robinson is set to star as Ben Parish, aka Zombie, along with Alex Roe as Evan Walker. Schreiber is nearing a deal to play the villain, Vosch, a high-ranking military official.

Moretz stars as Cassie Sullivan, who survives four waves of deadly attacks against the Earth’s population. On the run to save her younger brother, she meets a mysterious young man (Roe) who may become her final hope.
