The Selected (2016) watch online HD

Weeks after "The Event" (an Alien Colonization that wiped out 5 Billion humans), a young teenager wakes up in a hunting preserve where captured humans are selected to survive the hunt. With the help of other survivors, Niko must find a way to escape or become another prey in their most dangerous game.

Fernando Lopez, Derrick Riehl, Alex MacNicoll and Ari Atken auditioned for the role of Niko.

Elijah Silva, Bob Morley, Tye Sheridan and William Rodriguez auditioned for the role of Derek.

Nathalie Villarpando, Sabrina Ranellucci, Autumn Harmon, and Ashley Sullivan auditioned for the role of Kira.

Throughout filming of The Selected, William Rodriguez had a total of 18 clumsy trips

This is Luke Brady and Sabrina Ranellucci's third time working together

The first draft of the script had back stories for every main human character and was going to be half an hour longer, but had to be cut short due to budget and scheduling

In the first draft, Derek has a young sister in the group who later on is killed by a hunter.

There was originally supposed to be eight hunters, but the idea was scripted out.

The Selected was inspired by many films of the same genre as a tribute to films like Predator, Independence Day, Children of the Corn and Castaway.

The Selected was written in dedication to Daniel Martinez, a childhood friend of William Rodriguez who loved the genre and unfortunately lost the battle to Leukemia at 10 years old.
