Meyer's 'The Host' Coming to the Big Screen
Attention Twilight fans! If you enjoy Stephenie Meyer’s newest book, The Host, get ready. It’s going to be coming to the big screen. Variety is saying that Producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz has used their own money to acquire the rights to Meyer’s first adult novel.
Meyer’s novel is a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species of benevolent parasites that call themselves “Souls.” 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.
The producers are said to have hounded Ms. Meyer until she said yes!
“We wanted Stephenie to be involved in the adaptation and have her endorse and be part of the creative decisions,” Wechsler said. “Twilight” has “proven she knows more about what works than most.”
Are you ready for what may turn into another series of Meyer’s books/movies?
