Those damned aliens, man. They just never give up. Each time they invade, we end up beating them off until they leave. Kind of like when horny Americans go to Thailand!

According to Deadline, Graham King’s GK Films has acquired film rights to 5th Wave, a young adult sci-fi suspense thriller with a love story at its center based on a novel by Rick Yancy that was bought preemptively by Putnam Books. King and Tim Headington will produce with Tobey Maguire.

Synopsis:
When the human race is on the verge of extinction, one of the last survivors on Earth, an extraordinary young woman, goes on a mission to track down her younger brother, who was abducted by the extra-terrestrial creatures colonizing the planet. She is forced to align herself with a young man who holds a secret. Together they are the only ones to save mankind.
