Why Stephenie Meyer is Working on The Host Sequel next Probably

The good news is The Host wrapped and Stephenie Meyer is writing. She doesn’t confirm it, but heavily hints that the sequel to The Host is next.

Going back to when The Host novel first came out Stephenie said she imagined it as a trilogy called The Host, The Seeker, and The Soul

EDITED:

It took us a bit to find this footage, but Stephenie Meyer mentioned having to write The Host sequels within ten years or someone else could do it for her. The Book was announced in late fall 2007 and published in May 2008. So depending on when the clock started ticking we care coming up on the five year mark and that’s two books that have to get done!

Video: Saoirse Ronan Talks The Host Reaching Twilight Levels Of Fame

At a gallery last night, Saorise Ronan talks about The Host and whether she feels she life will be like that of Kristen Stewart and Twilight cast members.

Saoirse also told the Irish Herald that she has home comforts on the set:

The budding A-lister, who travels all over the world, divulged she even packs a plastic bag in her suitcase stuffed with Barry’s Tea and crisps whenever she goes abroad on a shoot.

“Every single film set I go to I have things from home like that with me… It still tastes different though, it’s never a proper Irish cup of tea unfortunately.”

And there was a panic when the starlet ran out of her supply on set in Louisiana, where she filmed Twilight author Stephenie Meyer’s new flick The Host.

“We ran out of teabags over there so we had to get loads more sent over and any Irish person visiting New Orleans was ordered to bring some with them. It’s very important.”

Saoirse Ronan Loves the Host Characters First and Romance Second

Saoirse Ronan chatted with The Irish Independent yesterday about her involvement playing Melanie/Wanderer in The Host.

“It’s a given at this stage that romantic stories are going to be offered to me but I’m more interested in the story and characters. It’s just not important if there are love scenes in it…I have two different characters who are in love with different men…The good thing was that I got on so well with Max and Jake. I knew them both before we started filming and we were very comfortable working together.”
