For "Twilight" fans who have been mourning the end of the franchise since the last film's November release, there is an upcoming movie that can fill the void: "The Host," an adaptation of a sci-fi novel written by "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer.
Described simply as "a love story set in the future," the movie follows the relationship between two of the last humans on Earth -- Melanie and Jared. Against her will, Melanie's body becomes the host for an alien known as Wanderer, and she must fight to resist the presence.
Saoirse Ronan ("The Lovely Bones") plays Melanie, with Max Irons ("Dorian Gray") playing her love interest, Jared. "The Host" also stars Diane Kruger and William Hurt.
If the new poster is any indication, "The Host" will offer the same heart-wrenching love scenes that Meyer fans counted on in the "Twilight" films.
"The Host" hits theaters on March 29 -- take »
