Stephenie Meyer just updated her website to say,
“I’m so excited to be working with Nick Weschler, and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz to bring The Host to a visual format. They’ve all been a dream to work with, so lovely and collaborative, and I feel like we’re in a really good place to make a great movie together. And then to have Andrew Niccol writing and directing? Truly awesome. If you’ve never seen Gattaca, go watch it now. One of my favorite movies of all time. It’s such a great example of character driven science fiction, which is ideal for The Host, no? I’m having an absolute blast imagining different dream casts, which I would post if people didn’t take my silly blogs so seriously these days. I’m looking forward to seeing the cast lists you come up with in the fansite forums, and if any of them match mine.
So, very exciting. Yay Host!

Our Host forum is right here. Jump on in!
And ho! I totally picture Hayden Panettiere has Wanda at the end.
Can’t wait till movie…..the book was awsome
I am really glad that this movie is in experienced hands, Gattaca was awesome! Still wishing they had put Twilight (the movie) in better hands. I can’t wait to hear the cast. Looks like I will have to read the Host again to brush up on some details.
Missy Peregrym!! A thousand time Missy Peregrym! She’s the best Melanie ever! Dark hair, tan, strong, beautiful… perfect! Loved Josh Hutcherson for Jamie… but he’s to old now for the part :\
This is great!
Though I love the book as its self and even before said I could never see this being a moive because its such a mental and emtional book and most of the story in taken place in the Mind.
I would love to go see this movie, anyway. I’m really interested in seeing how they are going to protray two minds in one physical[human]being. Its going to be very interesting to see visually.
It took me awhile to get into this book, for one thing I had just finished the Twilight Saga, but after a few chapters I was hooked. The book made me laugh and cry. I loved it. I hope the movie stays true to the book and it gets a great cast.
Meliane Stryder – Sophia Bush
Jared Howe – Jensen Ackles
Ian O’Shea – Ian Somerhalder
So excited about this!!!! I’ve the host like 3 times since August..sad I know…in my world the perfect would be:
Melanie/Wanda- Sophia Bush
Jared- Sam Worthington
Ian – Henry Cavil or Ian Somerhalder
Jeb- Barry Corbin
Doc – Noah Wyle
Jamie – Anton Yelchin (but he maybe a little too old now)
Wanda/Pet- Dakota Fanning / annasophia robb
Kyle – Taylor Kitsch
Seeker – Emily Browning
i can’t wait to see who they cast…Just as long as Ian is HOT! I’m happy…not like the mishap that is Rosalie in Twlight..
