Stephenie Meyer's "The Host" To Be Made Into Film

Stephanie Meyer has yet another book to be made into a film. It's not another in the Twilight series, but we've got the info right now.

Hi everyone. You've reached Clevver TV and I'm Dana Ward with the details on the new adaptation from Stephanie Meyer. It's the author's first adult novel to be made into a movie and it's called The Host. The somewhat sci-fi love drama got published in May 2008 and after many bid rejections, The Host finally found a home with 3 producers. According to reports, producers are dipping into their personal funds to acquire the rights to the book, just in time for cross-genre writer, Andrew Niccol to sign on as screenwriter and director. Apparently, that connection came shortly after Meyer named some of his projects, such as Gattaca and The Truman Show, as being some of her favorite sci-fi-related films.

As far as the storyline for The Host goes, it's about a species of emotion-feeling aliens called 'souls' invades the Earth and has taken control of the minds of nearly every human there. One extraterrestrials chooses to take over a person's mind, yet the woman is able to maintain part-control and the two become a team, setting off on a journey to find the woman's love who's in hiding as one of the last humans to remain in control of his mind. You bet that this a totally different story that Meyer's Twilight Saga, but I'm wondering if there will be any similarities. What do you think? And for you Twilight followers, are you going to try to see this movie at all? Let me know what you're thinking about The Host by leaving a comment below.

Plus, I need to add that Stephanie did speak out about her "dream" portrayals before the book even got published, and let's just say it's A-list. She named Robert Redford, Matt Damon, Casey Affleck and Ben Affleck as being perfect actors for some of the roles in her adaptation.

I'm also curious to hear if any of you have actually read this book and what you thought about it?

As always, remember to check out ClevverTV.com for everything Twilight. Plus, we've got new videos about the Saga up here almost everyday. I'm Dana Ward - thanks for watching the show - bye!

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 :/
