The Host is a book by Stephenie Meyer.You can see my review for the book here. It's being adapted for the big screen and the trailer is out!
I am not happy with the guy they've chosen to play Ian!
This guy is not IAN! I am Team Ian but I do not support their choice!
The girl they've chosen looks more like Wanderer and less like Melanie (If you've read the book you'll know what I mean ,I HOPE) Melanie is supposed to look tough and be as hard as nails .The actress looks very fragile.
I'm happy with their choice for Jared.
Just hope that he can act.
I really enjoyed the book and I hope the movie lives upto the book.
About the book
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
So loads of books are being adapted for movies! That makes me one happy camper :)
Feel free to comment peeps
The Host is my absolute favorite book ever in the whole wide world, so I'm really happy that the movie is coming soon. I was so excited when they released the trailer. I agree that when I first say Jake Abel was cast as Ian and Boyd Holbrook cast as Kyle I sort of wanted to cry. They were SO not what Ian and Kyle look like and I was worried what that might mean when it came to their characters. I thought, were they planning on changing more than just their looks?
ReplyDeleteBut after watching the trailer I'm happy to say that I actually love Ian's line. When Jared says Wanda's not human, Ian replies, "So we stop being human, too?" That one line basically sums up Ian's character and Jake's voice is awesome so ;)
All in all, I think I've become happy with their choice of actors even though I was a little iffy at first. I just hope that they don't ruin this movie. I think with the director they've chosen it will be awesom, but I'm still nervous. I think it's a sign of a true fan when your nervous about every little thing about the transition from book to movie!

I didn't know Kyle had been cast! Will definitely check out the actor. I was definitely surprised with their choice for Ian! I thought Ian was you know... not so thin??
DeleteAnyways hope they act well and don't disappoint
I haven't read this book but it looks good. it's on my list. Better get to it before March!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a really long time since I read this book, so I can't tell if I am down with the actors yet. Going to reread the book soon, and we shall see what I think then. But I love the trailer, and I can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteI Love the guys fro Ian and Jared :D
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to what this become. However, i am really peeved with Stephenie Meyer, as i feels she's abandoned her fans of this series. WHERE ARE THE OTHER TWO BOOKS? She's not even updated her blog on any info regarding them.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW RIGHT!!! I WANT THE SEQUELS!!!!
