The Host: Take a First Look at Stephenie Meyer's New Sci-Fi Movie

Once again, one of Stephenie Meyer's books will hit the big screen, but Twilight fans should be warned, there are no vampires or werewolves in this film. The Host is Stephanie's 2008 Sci-Fi alien romance novel. "Irish actress Saoirse Ronan plays Melanie, one of the world's last remaining free spirits. As an alien named Wanderer assumes control of Melanie's soul, Melanie's remaining emotions still draw her to a handsome human named Jared (Max Irons). Rounding out the cast: Diane Kruger, who plays Seeker, an alien sent to regulate the takeover of Earth's population." The first previews for this movie was seen by The Hunger Games fans when it was shown during the previews before the new movie began. The Host is planned to come out on March 29, 2013.

I have personally read The Host and though it was about four years ago, I do recall that is was nothing like the Twilight series that Stephenie Meyer is so famous for. When they say that it's a "alien romance" they aren't exaggerating. I also saw the previews before The Hunger Games and was very excited that I recognized the book before the preview even said what movie the trailer was for. I am very excited to see this movie and waiting the long year before the chance to will be very hard. It may give me time though to re-read The Host in time for the movie.
