The Host Movie Trailer Revealed

Following in the wake of The Hunger Games, Open Road Films released the trailer for the upcoming film, The Host. The Host is based off a book of the same name written by bestselling author Stephenie Meyer.  The movie is still being filmed and is slated for a 2013 release.

While it doesn’t feature the vampires and werewolves Meyer’s bestselling series Twilight, it does a feature a similar love triangle with a fantasy twist. According to Wikipedia, “Alien beings from another planet have invaded the earth and have begun to take over the bodies and minds of humans. Melanie Stryder's body has been inhabited by one of the "souls" named Wanderer, but she refuses to fade away.”

The movie will star Saoirse Ronan as Melanie Stryder, Max Irons as Jared Howe, and Jake Abel as Ian O’Shea. The film will be directed by Andrew Niccol. The film will be distributed by Open Roads Films and is currently expected to release in theaters on March 29, 2013, a little over a year from now. The film will follow only months after the final chapter of the Twilight film franchise - Breaking Dawn Part 2.

One can only wonder if The Host will see as much popularity at Meyer’s Twilight series did. Will it turn into a major success for the author, as the book did? Or will it turn out to be a major flop? What do you think? Do you have high expectation for The Host or do you expect it to be another poorly executed movie adaption? Let us know in the comments!
