  • the host is sooo amazing what a beautiful novel!!! i wish they make it into a film to make the book come alive buhh i hope they dont mess things up they should stick with the book as they're guide

  • ...NOOOOO, I don't want it to be a film....

  • i checked the IMDB and the release date says 2013 so a whole year before we actually see any sort of trailer T_T Jake Abel is play Ian :X I swear Ian was suppose to have dark hair and blue eyes? I hope they dye his hair. And Saoirse Ronan is playing Melanie... I wish they picked someone older to play Melanie :/

  • @MyLlamaDrama sorry *will play Ian

  • is that even a question!? Of course im gonna see it! I love twilight, and happy Meyers made another series too! I have anxiety for dis movie!!!

  • Is there legitly gonna be a movie already!? It's been a few year's since this post and i need the movie to come out it's such an amazing book!

  • They better not mess up this movie! I loveee the book

  • I love 'The host' so much. I'm so going to see it when it comes out ^_^

    

  • i'm with them don't screw it

  • The Host is better than Twilight.

  • "The Host" is the ONLY book by Stephanie Meyer (thus far) that I can pallet. I actually love "The Host" because it is a character driven Si-fi story with just the right amount of emotional drama that Meyer has become known for. With that said, I think that "The Host" would be better served as a Mini Series. So much goes on in the story and there is a lot of character development, so you can't afford to cut much. I don't think they can fit this story into 2.5 hours and have it stay true.

  • When's the movie coming out?!?

  • this is the best book ever! cant wait to see the move

  • I have to say, The Host was MUCH better than Twilight. Twilight's Bella and Edward bothered the crap outta me. I only liked a few characters in the series and read it for them. With The Host, I feel like she gave more effort with developing the characters than in Twilight and the plot was more interesting as well. The Host actually got me to read it without occasionally blanking and going, "JUST END. I ONLY WANNA KNOW ABOUT SO AND SO, THAT'S *IT.*" I hope the movie is okay. :)

  • this is by far my favorite book ever! better than twilight haha. I was hoping they would make a movie for it! It better be good.

  • Ehmm... we are almost in 2012 and this video come out in 2009... WHERE'S MY MOVIE T-T!!! I love The Host, i'm in love with thar book D: !!

  • @oAldanitao the movie comes out in 2013 next year somewhere around may or june :(

  • @reddvamp420 Yes, i read it in the official page of The Host.. The actors they picked are horrible T_T !!

  • @oAldanitao lol I KNOW!!!

  • @reddvamp420 I hope they will be something like Ian Somerhalder, Ryan Merriman.. Emma Roberts, Jared Padalecki or Jensen Ackles I don't know, I am sure we can choose them better than they D:

  • Best book ever. Finished it in a little under 2 days and I'm only 10

  • I'm reading the book right now and gotta say it is AWSOME

    Is there already a movie out for The Host because I am REALLY into the book I have sat here and read for 5 hours straight

  • i love this book it's amazing! read it in two days, i just couldn't put it down :)

  • People loving vampires, lusting for this dark power. I will not read nor see the Twilight anything. People are so messed up. There is nothing Romantic about something biting into your flesh and sucking out your life force so they can keep on existing. Too much glamour is given to leeches, thats all they are. If you are a vampire you are dead, there is not enough perfume in the world or colgne to mask that stank.

  • The Twilight books were good in the beginning, but I /hate/ the ending. The Host, however, has definitely retained my love. I can't even begin to count my issues with the Twilight movies, but I seriously hope the Host turns out better. It is such a good book, and my only wish is that Andrew Niccol does a good job with it.

  • I can't wait for this to be a movie. The book was way better than the Twilight Saga.

  • ok this is one of my favorite books but i can't imagine it as a movie. Most of it is inner conflict between melanie and wanda! I just really hope they don't wreck this story

  • when will it come out?

  • the world shall not exist in 2013!!!! :(.....;)

  • I LOVE THE HOST! WAY BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!

  • is there a trailer out yet for the movie yet??

  • This book kept my attention from the first sentece to the last (unlike twilight which bored me to death until around the 3rd and 4th book.) Its A wonderful book and im anticipating the movie as much as the rest of the trilogy!

    

  • I LOVE this book, its one of my favorite books and it was WAY better than Twilight!! i hope they dont mess it up like they did the twilight movies.. no offense to those who like the movies...but i love the story line and the characters and everything!!! i hope they get good actors that are able to act like the characters:)

  • OH MY FUCKING GOSH!!!!! THE HOST is my all time favorite book and I am just so fucking psyched to know it'll be turned into a movie!! I just hope it won't be ruined; this story def deserves the BEST!!

    L.O.V.E.

    xXVx

  • CONTINUNG THE ONE BELOW THIS..........................­........

    while stephenie meyer has a butload of money and fame!!! do you think she got that by doing stupid lame videos in youtube??? No,she got them by actually working and thinking!

  • THE HOST is a PERFECT book!! so you lady from DUMBBTV stop critizizing if you havent read it its nothing like twilight.... if you were at least a little informed and had a bit of brain you wouldve known and what if she chose A LIST actors she can get them!something you wouldve never done in your entire life...so you are just stuck here playing a stupid role in a youtube episode which doesnt even have the facts right...

  • THE HOST ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSS twilight sucks next to it. dont criticize the book if you havent read it please.

  • are they not going to do this anymore? I havent heard anything about it in years....

  • This book was much better than Twilight! Before I read The Host I LOVED the Twilight series!! but now not so much... I hope the movie is as good as the book!

    And lets HOPE Stephenie Meyer turns The Host into a series!!! :D

  • I actually liked this book a lot more than the twilight saga! I am SUPER excited for the movie!!! :-)

  • I just finished this book. It was AMAZING! I can't wait for the movie. I hope it stays with the book's storyline (unlike Twilight).

  • yes!!!!!!!!!!!! i love this book. cant wait for the move

  • this is my favorite book on the face of the planet... hopefully the movie wont ruin it for me.

  • Amazing Book the Host is!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The host sucked -_- most boring book ever. the movies gunna suck

  • The Host is an amazeing read. Ive read it way more then the Twilight series, which I do like. With the right actors and screen writers this can go very well.

    The similarities are there but the realtionship status does have a twist and Stephanie enjoys useing her family members names so there are repeats in that aspect. like Jared and James but not much :P

  • I love The Host!! I have been waiting for the next one for forever!! I really hope they stay true to the book though because there are SO many ways they could go wrong! I don't think you could compare this series to the Twilight Saga except for the undying love the 4 main people have for each other and their willingness to do anything for their love!

  • The Host is my favorite book! Better than Twilight no doubt!

  • I hope they don't ruin this one the way they did with the twilight series. This book was amazing!

  • The host is my absolute favorite book!! let the movie come out soon please!!!!!!

  • i loved the book soo much better than twilight

    it was the best book i ever read ^_^

  • Really great book

  • I've read and reread both The Host and the Twilight Saga. The Host is my favorite, though. Don't let the movie suck. Please.

  • i already read the book and i must say, as a twilight fan, it surprised me that it had nothing to do with her last saga.... i just hope they'll choose correctly!

  • The Host is Stephenie's best book, I can't wait for the movie! I just hope they don't screw it up!

  • Wow! Gattaca does a great job at treating humanity in a post-recent world, and the Truman Show treats the idea of our "reality" in a Platonic theory way, breaking free of a prison through inductive reasoning. I would like to see this producer get a good team together for this movie and polish the original idea and make it really shine in this new context. The Host takes a look at our idea of perfection in society--can it really be 'rigged' or does the true heroism lie in imperfection?

  • The Host is such an amazing book. If they screw this movie up like they did the Twilight Saga I'm gonna flip. This one should be a lot easier to make into an actual movie with all it's action and stuff, unlike Twilight since it's mostly about the love connection. All in all I'm really looking forward to it.

  • IAN AND WANDA FOREVER! i love the host...they better not screw this up

  • Gosh 'The Host' is so much better than twilight.

    like a million times better.

    I really hope they don't ruin this.

    ughhhh I bet they'll ruin it. -_-

  • Hell yeah! I loved this book! Let me tell ya, I've read it OVER ten times, and I just finished it today again! Which is how it lead me to this video! Now I'm totally pumped! When's this set to finally come out? I'd really love to know!

  • The host and twilight are extremely similar. They both have dramatic love triangles.

  • I have read hundreds of books and this one is by far my favorite. I am worried that it will be difficult to capture the essence of the book and turn it into a movie. Perhaps chopping the book up and make multiple movies?

  • Smeyer thought 'The Truman Show' was Sci-Fi related? IT'S NOT! Smeyer! Have you got no brain! No because you're too bloody stupid!

  • I'm 13 but I read it when I was like 11 it's my favorite book ever!

  • I re

  • i just turned 13 a couple months ago and im reading it now lol i love it

  • @soccerstat3218 wat happened in the end of the book ???

  • I love the host!!! i also like twilight but I have to admit i like the host more :)

    AND the host and twilight are nothing alike!! dont judge the host just because u dont like twilight

  • I love this book! It was an amazing book to read. I cannot wait to see the movie

  • The Host was just as good as twilight I can not wait for the movie I just hope that the movie is true to the book!

  • love "the host" read it love it! i really hope that the movie does not get slaughterd like the twilight movies

  • hearing "Stephenie Meyer" followed by "romantic" "drama" "love" and "movie" is really really scarying me, but I'm not gonna knock it until I get more insight on the story

  • i love this book !!! ..

  • Comment removed

  • I love that book!!! So much better than twilight

  • IAN AND WANDA FOREVER!!! her best book

    10 times better than twilight in my opinion

  • @thecommenter18 i strongly agree. it "The Host" is way better than twilight. i acn't wait to see the movie.

  • @thecommenter18 well i like them all

  • IAN AND WANDA FOREVER!!!

  • great book! took me awhile to get through the first three or four chapters just cause it was a little confusing, but afterwards, i couldn't stop reading :D

  • @birdandboog me too

  • books by smeyer are boring

  • @TheTwilightSagaSucks Yeah, the Twilight books can be kinda boring, but seriously check out The Host. It's so amazing!

  • @tayr1818 smeyers sucks get over it shes a terrible author

  • @tayr1818 i just did and it sucks

  • @TheTwilightSagaSucks I have to agree with you there. 

  • I love this book as well as the Twilight Saga can't wait for it to be released! Hopefully it's 2012 & not 2013 -.-

  • LIterally the best book i ahve ever read

  • am glad the book will be turn into a movie i hope its as good as the book.

  • The book was amazing!!! how could anyone not love it!!..im very excited that it will be a movie and will definitely be going and seeing it!

  • The book is awesome! It has a lot of suspense and drama... I love it!

  • the ruman show was sooo kooll..i though it was reall when i was young (age 9)

  • It's a book that has a lot of depth to it and i find it to have been well thought out. Of course it's stephanie meyer (some people would agree her writing is very modern-simplistic) but her story for The Host is so amazing. I see a lot of creativity in this story. :)

  • I normally don't like science fiction, in fact I almost hate it but the emotions in this book made me wanna love it ;)

  • Just now reading The Host, looks goo so far!!

  • I LOVE THE HOST AS MUCH AS THE TWILIGHT SAGA. Ive read the host like 6 times!! cant get enough lol

  • I loved reading the book the host, if they keep the storyline then it will be a great movie

  • i thought it was amazing!

  • I love the host to me it was way better then the twilight serious the host should have been made in to a serious I think they did a ok job with the twilight movies I hope they do a good job with the host movie.

  • Agree With The Person Down There. v :)

    I Am A Big Fan Of Stephenie's Stories. && Yes I Am Excited To Watch This Movie. It'll Be Out In 2013. && Woah, The Wait Begins, Just Like The Wait For The Twilight Saga Like 4 Years Ago. Ahah. :))

  • The host is a way better book than the twilight series. I cant wait For the movie. I just hope they don't ruin in like the twilight movies.

  • @stormzfury totally agree with u

  • So are they making every Stephanie Meyer book into a film? Ugh, and the message is shallow, Stephanie said that the message of the film is about body image. I burned my copy after I heard that.

  • Loved the book just finished it a few days ago! Can't wait for more books from Meyers... As for movies they are a fun adjunct but Meyers' mind and writing is phenomenal, bar none.

  • I really love that book

  • The host has a really great story line, I don't compare it or look for similarities at all! It kind of reminds me of Christopher Pikes story writing, I'm really enjoying this book & its hard to put down!! I really don't like when some tries explaining a book when they haven't read it, it's annoying when they do & get the story line wrong!

  • the host was deffinatly the most original book I've ever read, and I don't care how bad they butcher it, there's no way it could be as bad as twilight, twilight was only bad b/c they left out all of Bella's thoughts, aka, the whole freak in story

  • i love twilight books and movies!!! the host is my fav!!! love the story n would loooovvvvveeee to see the movie aslong as it has ian somerhalder as ian o'shae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! perfect man for the job!!!!! holly xx

  • I read the host, it was beautiful. But they're gonna fuck up the movie just like twilight. Books are just better.

  • nonono they cant they will ruin the book i red it like athousend times and there is no way they can fit it on film the alredy killed twilight so pleeeeeees have some mercy on THE HOST!!!!!!!

  • I bought this book yesterday. I can't wait to read it. :D

  • one extra tertesshtrial

  • i love the book "the host" and im sooo happy its going to be a movie. It's like

    nothing i have ever read before. 4.5 out of 5.

  • i had hoped for it to be turned into a tv series instead. too many possibilities and opportunities for it to be just a movie. if it isn't a 2parter than be sure they'll be leaving alot out... as usual with book2movies. however like the twilight series i will go line up and pay to watch it. i am looking forward to watching it... can't seem to help myself

  • Such a long and great book into like a 2 hr movie? I LOVE the book but u know that they'll probably cut so many details out to save time.

  • Ben affleck will be the perfect actor for Jared.. .:)

  • sry for posting 2 times haha comp is bein weird

  • @LELES02 your welcome and i was mostly disapointed in new moon it was too jumpy for me i mean it went from the end of the book to the begining back to the end then to the middle..

  • the book is awesome!!

  • i mean 2013****

  • on stephenies website, it says that the host is going to come out on March 29, 2011!!!! i love this book, and i cannottt wait to see it!!! i wish it wasnt so far away, though :(

  • @shellycris93 It isn´t going to came in 2011. It is going to come in 2013

    We must be hope a lot of time!! :(

  • muuuuust be a movie,,,,a good one movie,with dynamic characters ,something to reflect the meaning!!! not something emporic like twilight saga...because it's much different this one....its not a romance it's a story about living as a human being....

  • The characters are better developed and less mysterious than twilight(which makes the easier to connect with). If you haven't read the book: Wanda(wanderer) is a super innocent and sympathetic alien who learns how to be head strong like her host Melanie Stryder(Mel). I hope that the screen writer doesn't waste to much time on wanda's background on other planets because it's not really important to the story.

  • I read this before twilight and i liked it WAY better. The "aliens" act more like parasites in that they need human bodies to feel & communicate. People shouldn't get too carried away with the alien idea, the alien part of it is really low key. Wanda/Mel reads closer to someone with multiple personalities. If your wondering how the viewer is gonna be able to tell who is who, aliens have silver tint to their eyes.

  • I loved this book I hope that the movie could live up to it. I am very interested to see how it turns out. I will definitely go to see it.

  • I've read it...its kinda sick

  • Taylor Kitsch is rumored to play Jared, he's alright i guess sorta

  • Love the host book, not sure how it would be as a film though... surely it would be very difficult to get everything portrayed correctly, but I'm sure it will be a great (and spooky) film! =]

  • bellaandedward4ever1

    WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!

    if they put Kirsten Steward as Melanie and Robert P as Jard

    ...I WOULD KILL MYSELF IN THE THEATER!

  • The Host is my MOST FAVORITE book in the WHOLE world!

    And I remember then I had first read it how much I would love to see it as a movie.

    But seeing how they destroyed the twilight series.. I don’t think I would want them to make this into a movie. Unless they were willing to take there time and make it as true to the book as humanly possible!

    PLEASE IM BEGGING! DONT SCREW THIS UP LIKE YOU DID TWILIGHT!

  • the host is NOTHING like twilight what so ever. i read it and let's just say they're different story lines, no relations to the characters in any sense of the word and NO relations to the twilight plot of any kind. sorry to dissapppoint anyone who might have been hoping, but don't let that stop you from reading the book. it's much better than twilight and i gota say this is comming from a twilight fan. i have got to say that people who've hated twlight loved this book as well.

  • Its an amazing book and im so excited for the movie! :)

  • the host is awsome i love this book

  • The Host is my favorite book! And I, being a huge fan of this book, personally think that Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson should NOT play ANY of the characters. They should strictly be kept for Twilight! I really hope this movie doesn't get screwed up. I know it's not going to be exactly like the book but I hope it is extremely close, like to the point where only a true fan would notice the differences. I'm really looking forward to this movie.

  • yes i am going to see the movie but i would love to see Kirsten Steward as Melanie and Robert P as Jard

  • they already have the main character melanie i think , the girl who played the main character in the lovely bones :)

  • i love the host!! cant wait to see the movie i will be the first one there!!!! i read it like more then 20 times!!! i cry so much when i read it!!! i hope the movie match the book cause it will suck if it"s not!! my big sis don"t like twilight alot and she read the book a love it!! me and her will do crazy when the host movie comes out!!!

  • 0012alicecullen,SanaBasharat and deajay thank you for replying my comment I cannot wait for the movie to come out, I just hope they stick to the story and don't try to change it like the Twilight saga, I love the books but not the movies.

  • hey does anyone know if the movie is already in the cinema

    ? cause i've read the book now and it's an fantastic book, much better then twilight and i'm a great twilight fan too xD But i've read now that there was a movie from it too. so does anyone know when it comes out and who the actors are gonna be? thanks a lot!

  • IAN SOMERHALDER FOR IAN O'SHEA

    SOPHIA BUSH FOR MELANIE STRYDER

    CHRIS EVANS FOR KYLE O'SHEA

    JENSEN ACKLES FOR JARED HOWE

  • It has many similarities, but at the same time is completely different! I'd go to see the Host as soon as it was released!! I'm more a The Host fan than Twilight, even when I love it too. XD

  • Well,i read both the Twilight Series and the Host.sooooo many similarties!!! girl who CANT live w/out the love of her life&another guy falls n love w/ her,who's wayy hotter than the guy who she loves,yet she drags him along anyways,playing the victum.she's beaten,almost killed numorus times,and even when he doesnt wana be w/ her this time bcuz of what she is,he still is madly n luv w/ her.better& wayy more addicting than twilight!!! A MUST READ!!!

  • sorry I forgot to say GO TEAM IAN <3

  • thanks APRILBALDERAS and animorfan for answering my question and yep it looks like the movie is coming till april 2013, I just hope and cross my fingers that they choose a good Director for the movie who really pay attention to the details on the book, I don't mind if its a 3hrs movie because the book is soooooo goooooooooood

  • i hope the actor that plays Ian is gorgeous . (;

    & they needa hurry up & finish the movie & stuff .

  • the book is really good <3 hope it will be filmed :)

  • ive read the book and its amazing. im hoping that the movie will be good as the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ian somerhalder would be perfect for jared or ian!

  • TEAM IAN <3

  • The Host is a million times better than The Twilight Saga. Just sayin'.

  • @emac629 it really is

  • Why does the day it comes out have to be so far away :|

  • It sucked.

  • Just found out they casted saoirse ronan(Hanna/lovly bones) as Melanie... whats yalls opinion on that?

  • for everyone asking the movie comes to thearters March,19,2013...

  • @APRILBALDERAS

    thanks, and that suck, wtf, thats a year and a half waiting....:(

  • @simba11011 yes it is..but then again i you think about it,what movie that stephanie meyers has made,havent we waited years for..lol

  • i'm kind of nervus, because the book is so beautiful and complicated, and i think that will be hard do put all of that in a movie. Doe anyone know when the movie will come out? btw, i LOVE that they gave the role of ian to ian because a. he's superhot, b. he's a great actor, and c. he's superhot!

  • i'm kind of nervus, because the book is so beautiful and complicated, and i think that will be hard do put all of that in a movie. Doe anyone know when the movie will come out?

  • @simba11011 March,19,2013...

  • i loved the host! such an amazing book. they better make a freakin amazing movie or imma be so pissed.

  • THE BOOK IS AMAZING! I also saw GATTACA and it is my favorite sci-fi movie. Does anyone know if they're still casting for the voice of Wanderer/Wanda and how I could audition? I just know this movie could be one of the greatest of all time.

  • I love the book the host, but i am not looking forward to a movie about it... everybody will treat it like its just one of the twilight movies just becasue of the author and that makes me mad because the host is 1,000 times better....

  • @123courtni i know right? the HOST is like the best book i have ever read and if they make it to a movie they are going to just like it because its the same author as twilight......

  • ben afleck should be Ian thats wat i pictured and that robert guy as jeb...but all the others should go away...steph cannot pick actors for spit

  • i love this book...i CANT wait until the movie comes out

  • the host is such a great book.

    read it twice. :)

    can't wait for the movie!

  • The Host is one of the few books which can make me cry, laugh and smile while reading. It made me realise what is actually to be a human.As far as I am concerned, it is a really good idea a film based on the book to be made.It will be interesting to me if all the emotions, the thaughts, the actions will be presented as well as they are in the book ... if the real message will be understand ..

  • I think it'll be interesting, but the book was hard to follow so I'm guessing the movie will be the same...

  • I love The Host, but I think that make a movie about the book is not a good idea, there's so many things what people need to know about this aliens and the condition of the earth and the humans before they see the movie. This aliens don't come to invade with laser guns and threats about destroy the earth, they are not green with jelly-bodies or big heads and cat eyes.

    The Host must be known before the movie, or people will think they are watching the wrong movie.
