Ronan has been cast as Melanie, a young woman whose mind is besieged by a parasitic alien, in the film adaptation of <em>The Host</em> – a.k.a. that one Stephenie Meyer book that doesn’t involve pouty vampires. </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The bestselling sci-fi novel follows Melanie and Wanderer, the extraterrestrial “soul” that has taken over her brain, as they experience a sort of paranormal Stockholm Syndrome. Ronan would play both roles, or more specifically, a role within a role, a daunting task that I’m sure the Oscar-nominated actress is more than up to. The film’s producers may be looking to make the character a bit younger: In the book, Melanie is 20 years old, while Ronan is 17.</p>Naybeth Díazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398318656892827449noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075523778507139594.post-51525577096632434322010-08-24T18:39:00.000-07:002010-08-24T18:41:04.028-07:00So True or So FalseSo Not Sure.

I can’t remember where I am … or why I’m here. It’s wrong that I’m alone. Where is Wanda? I can’t see to look for her. I can’t remember how to call for her. It’s silent. I can’t feel her. I can’t feel our body.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Panic starts to set in as I wait for her voice. For her to say my name. To tell me where we are.

According to <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2010/03/twilight-author-stephenie-meyer-gives-fans-novella-makes-progress-on-the-host">Deadline.com</a>, the adaptation of the author's first adult novel, "The Host," could go before cameras as early as next year. </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Published in 2008, the book involves benevolent yet parasitic aliens who have taken over the minds of almost all the humans on Earth. Upon its release, Meyer described the plot to MTV News as " 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers,' if the aliens had won." </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Although financing is not yet in place and no definite shooting schedule is planned for the sci-fi/horror hybrid, producer Steve Schwartz divulged that "Truman Show" Oscar-nominee Andrew Niccol is currently working on his third draft of the screenplay, with the author's close involvement. Niccol is also signed on to direct the film. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Schwartz, who is now budgeting the project with co-producers Paula Mae Schwartz and Nick Wechsler, again noted that Meyer handpicked the filmmaker because Niccol's directorial debut, "Gattaca," is one of her favorite science-fiction films. However, his hire was not immediate. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">"We spent time with Andrew," Schwartz explained. "Listened to his vision, introduced Andrew to Stephenie and she responded. There is very good chemistry in this group. Stephenie is a very smart collaborator, and she had an intuitive strong hunch he would be the right guy. Based on the script we've seen, we think she was right." </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fans will have to wait and see if Meyer is also right about her dream cast for the film, which she told MTV News in 2008 includes Robert Redford, Matt Damon and both Ben and Casey Affleck. Another uncertainty is when — or if — Meyer will ever finish her two planned sequels to "The Host." </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regardless of whether or not the adaptation spawns further novels or movies, a 2011 shoot could put "The Host" in theaters before the "Twilight Saga" ends, depending on when the second part to the two-film adaptation of "Breaking Dawn" is released. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Plus, with Meyer's announcement of the "Eclipse" spin-off novella"The short Second life of Bree Tanner", there's now a tease that Summit Entertainment could extend the hot vampire film series even further than a fifth installment. </p>Naybeth Díazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398318656892827449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075523778507139594.post-85080099161292989522009-12-25T10:20:00.000-08:002009-12-26T10:21:27.353-08:00Merry ChristmasThe host, the soul and the seeker wishes you a merry christmas full of hope, love and the host.<br />Hope you have an amazing day with your beloved ones and the best wishes from me.<br />Love you and thanks for reading. ♥Naybeth Díazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398318656892827449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075523778507139594.post-23293136462575782732009-12-07T09:38:00.000-08:002009-12-07T09:44:11.253-08:00Stephenie Meyer's enthusiasm dims for another Twilight book<div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/nov/16/stephenie-meyer-enthusiasm-dims-twilight">guardian.co.uk</a> we bring you this:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y2XFxVtQrHA/Sx0-sns87fI/AAAAAAAAAmY/OSBvZ5cHorA/s400/de-la-soul-saturdays.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412551263461895666" /><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">With sales of more than 70m copies she is the queen of teen vampire romance, but Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has announced that she's "a little burned out on vampires".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Asked on the Oprah Winfrey show if she'd consider writing another book in the Twilight quartet, Meyer said that she had no immediate plans to return to the story of human teenager Bella and her vampire love interest Edward. "I think I need a little break," she said. "I've got to cleanse the palate ... I'm a little burned out on vampires right now."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Her next book, she said, was likely to be a follow-up to her one adult novel The Host – about the invasion of earth by a species which takes over the minds of humans while leaving their bodies intact – which she sees as a trilogy, but it could also be something "completely different". "I have another book that's kind of been itching in the back of my brain, that's completely unrelated, totally fantasy. So fantasy it'll have a map in the front – that's always the judge, right?" she said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having envisioned it as a longer series and "know[ing] what happens" to Bella and Edward in the future, Meyer said she "may" come back to the world of Twilight, but "I wrapped up [fourth novel] Breaking Dawn in a way that I felt satisfied with, so if that moment didn't come I'd feel OK".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She's also musing over whether to go back to Midnight Sun, which tells the story of the romance from the perspective of vampire Edward. An unfinished draft was leaked on the internet last year, prompting the author to put the project "on hold indefinitely".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I need to feel alone with something to be able to write it and I do not feel alone with that manuscript at this point. So many people have chimed in on it," she said. "I'm over the shock of it but not over the feeling that everyone's involved now, and it doesn't feel like mine so much anymore. I 'm hoping that with a little time, time to write something else, get my head out of it for a while ... it's so clear in my head, I'd like to go back to it."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The film of New Moon, the second book in the series, is released this week.</div></div>Naybeth Díazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398318656892827449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075523778507139594.post-3053415686819544052009-12-04T10:13:00.000-08:002009-12-04T10:18:43.679-08:00Stephenie on Oprah<div style="text-align: justify;">We bring you more news about the host and it's trilogy.<br /><br />As many of you probably heard, Stephenie was on Oprah talking about the release of New Moon.

I'm successful because I write books, but that very success takes all my writing time! It's very frustrating. I'm just itching to get back into a fantasy world right now, but the real world won't let me. I thought this would be a writing year, but unless you count emails as writing, it didn't work out that way. I was able to do a few smaller things that will show up here and there—an extra chapter for the release of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663300;">The Host</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663300;"> in paperback, that kind of thing.

Her book, The Host, also claimed top marks on the charts (and for good reason).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Host follows the ninth life of "Wanderer," a "soul," who makes her way to Earth for the first time as a human being. Her host body, though, becomes a strange thing for Wanderer because the human soul of Melanie, the body, refuses to disappear and make way for her own cognitive control.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Y2XFxVtQrHA/SuPI7GY_dOI/AAAAAAAAAlY/WtqDXU39MWc/s320/examiner-logo-300a060809.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396377696173257954" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wanderer and Melanie form an indescribable (though thoroughly described by Stephenie Meyer, of course) bond through this experience, and Wanderer seeks out those who Melanie (and vicariously Wanderer) loves. Her experience amongst those individuals - particularly the characters Jared, Jamie, Ian, and Jeb - is the crux of the story, and Wanderer's challenge is to keep Melanie "alive" during her incorporation into the group.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In September, the news came out that this book was, like most of Meyer's other books, going to be made into a film. After the initial reports, Meyer expressed an interest in what fans would have to say about potential castmates for the future film. Despite the unending excitement going on in the Twilight film series world, many fans have been putting together their own set of suggestions for that very thing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y2XFxVtQrHA/SuPJJlQIgWI/AAAAAAAAAlg/MLalKzS3iPM/s320/examiner-logo-300a060809.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396377944975769954" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The characters which are most ardently discussed by fan-casters are, naturally, Melanie, Jared, Jamie, Jeb, and Ian.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Actors thrown into the hat of suggestions for the character Melanie are (and this is not an exhaustive list, of course) Sophia Bush, Megan Fox, Camilla Belle, Olivia Wilde, Summer Glau, Milla Jovovich, Natalie Portman, Amanda Peet, Evangeline Lilly, Rose Byrne, Eliza Dushku, and Jodi Gordon. A common trait amongst some of these women is the sense of strength and toughness that Melanie Stryder embodies in the book.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For Jared, the consensus is pretty strong amongst the fans that Jensen Ackles should play the part, but other suggestions also linger such as James McAvoy, Jesse Metcalf, Benjamin McKenzie, Jared Padalecki, Hugh Jackman, Chris Pine, Matt Damon, and Chris Evans (with a few Gerard Butler and Jeffrey Dean Morgan pluggers along the way). The thing about the character Jared is that he has to be fierce and ruthless at times, but he has to also be a softy deep down.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y2XFxVtQrHA/SuPJx6fj8cI/AAAAAAAAAlo/NkJMR6qVIJg/s320/examiner-logo-300a060809.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396378637872394690" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With Jamie, the casting is especially fun because he is a character that is young, curious, tolerant, independent, and exceptionally wise and kind. He is also the character that Melanie (and by association Wanderer - "Wanda," by then) has the deepest affection for. Some suggestions have included Logan Lerman, Josh Hutchenson, Allan Hyde, and Justin Bieber.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps it's his gun-toting, thick-skinned, brute-but-lovable character resume, but Sam Elliott, to most, is a pretty perfect fit for Jeb. Jeb's character is the sly and authoritative protector-type who speaks when necessary and is the first to put his foot down (or his gun in the air, as the case may be). Other suggestions have included Harrison Ford, Hugh Laurie, and Willie Nelson, but Elliott seems to hone in on the Jeb-ness pretty universally where fans are concerned.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ian, on the other hand, is a character that brings in suggestions from across the entire board. While there are quite a few who contend that Ian Somerhalder is a good match for the character, Chace Crawford, Christian Bale, Sean Faris, Henry Cavill, Marc Blucas, Tom Welton, and, once again, James McAvoy are all actors that have been fan-vetted for the role.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Where there are a host (pun clearly intended) of other roles at play in the fan-casting fun, these are some of the major ones at issue in the fan community.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, but the fun certainly does not stop there. Not only are fans creating their fantasy Host teams, many have also created fan-made trailers for the film as well as movie posters. Here are a couple that are really great.</div></div></div>Naybeth Díazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398318656892827449noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075523778507139594.post-90798422395629560882009-10-24T20:24:00.000-07:002009-10-24T20:26:29.273-07:00To the readersGuys, I really appreciate you all reading this blog.

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.

One such soul, the Wanderer, is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder, in an attempt to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/1.375em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;">Wechsler and the Schwartzes are separately teamed on "The Road," the John Hillcoat-directed adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel that will be released Nov. 25 by the Weinstein Co. They are also producing the Paul Schrader-scripted "The Dying of the Light" and an adaptation of Pete Takada book "An Eye at the Top of the World," which Ryne Douglas Pearson is adapting.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/1.375em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;">In addition to writing four volumes of the "Twilight" series, Meyer has been heavily involved in the screen transfers, and she spurned several overtures for "The Host." The producers continued lobbying the author and her UTA reps with a significant offer, a strong vision for the project and a collaborative spirit. Meyer eventually said yes.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/1.375em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;">In fact, Niccol first came under consideration after Wechsler and the Schwartzes asked Meyer what her favorite science fiction films are. "Gattaca" and "The Truman Show" were in her top five; Niccol wrote and directed "Gattaca" and scripted the Peter Weir-directed "The Truman Show."</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/1.375em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;">Niccol most recently wrote and directed Orlando Bloom starrer "The Cross."</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/1.375em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;">"We wanted Stephenie to be involved in the adaptation and have her endorse and be part of the creative decisions," Wechsler said.
