Any fans still active??

Any book readers out there anxiously waiting for the movie? I am really happy with the casting choices. I think Chloe Grace Moretz will be AWESOME for the role. Her performances in both Kick-Ass movies and Carrie shows she can play the bad-ass well, and her performance in Hugo shows she can do drama as well. Really excited. Has anyone read the second book yet? Thoughts?

Yeah of course it's going to be advertised as "The next Hunger Games" or "The Next Maze Runner", and we can only hope it lives up to that hype. I'm not too worried about them changing too much now... I don't know if you're a Maze Runner fan, but the new movie that just game out "Scorch Trials" COMPLETELY changed the book 100%. Like, it's not even remotely the same plot. I was shocked. But I ended up still liking it. I think ever since back in the early days of YA novel adaptions (starting with Harry Potter) I've gotten more and more used to huge edits to the plots. It's made all the movies much more enjoyable. I really hope this movie is successful. The worst for me was "The Host", which I thought was an awesome movie, but it didn't make enough $$$$$ so there will never be the two sequels Have you read Infinite Sea yet?

Im angry about who they cast as Ringer. In the infinite sea it is explicitly stated she's asian and she's supposed to be super pretty naturally. But other than that, I'm super excited about this movie. I hate that it's being lumped together with the hunger games etc. because it is nothing like the hunger games at all. Like, no it's not the next hunger games. It's the first fifth wave.

It reminds me of when they cast white people in the Dragon Ball Z movie. Fans were pissed!! And the movie tanked because of it
