Footage from Stephanie Meyer’s “The Host”
29 May 2012 3:26 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Don’t look now, but another Stephanie Meyer novel is coming to the big screen. When Twilight finishes up its reign of the internet and box office alike in November, die hard fans won’t have to wait too long for another fix. Meyer’s other novel, The Host, adapted by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca), comes out March 29th, 2013 and stars the immensely talented Saoirse Ronan, as a young woman named Melanie who plays host to an alien inside her. She also has feelings for a hunky man, to keep the teen romance angle in there.
Thanks to io9, we have the first footage from the movie, with some soundbites from Ronan, Max Irons (who plays Jared, the preeminent love interest) and Stephanie Meyer herself. There’s really not much here beyond a look at the caves and to delight in Ronan’s awesome accent, but if it’s anything like »

First Video from the Set of The Host; Plus Interviews with Saoirse Ronan and Author Stephenie Meyer
29 May 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Though the Twilight series comes to an end later this year with Breaking Dawn – Part 2, author Stephenie Meyer’s follow-up, a sci-fi novel called The Host, is already getting the big screen treatment. Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, In Time) wrote the script and is directing, and Hanna star Saoirse Ronan is set in the lead role of Melanie Stryder. In the world of the film, a parasitic alien species is nearly finished wiping out the human population by taking over the consciousness of each person. A soul named Wanderer is attempting to take control of Melanie’s consciousness, but faces strong opposition by what remains of the girl. MTV recently visited the New Mexico set of The Host, and video has gone up from their visit that includes our first look at a few scenes being filmed, as well as interviews with Ronan, co-star Max Irons, and Meyer herself. Hit the jump to take a look. »

Want to Be Ready for Stephenie Meyer’s Next Blockbuster? Win a Copy of ‘The Host’ Novel
21 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
For fans of Stephenie Meyer‘s “The Twilight Saga” and its cinematic counterparts, saying goodbye to the series when the final film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 this fall will be tough stuff. Fortunately, Meyer already has a brand new film based on one of her books ready to go, and it’s one that will appeal to both fans of Twilight and those who have never gotten the teen vampire love story craze. Meyer’s “The Host” is a more adult book that explores similar themes to those addressed in “The Twilight Saga,” but with a much more mature spin. Also, there are aliens (a lot of aliens). And a well-sketched post-apocalyptic Earth for them to populate. The film is officially described as “an enchanting and fateful story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world is invaded by an unseen enemy, humans »

"Ghost Recon Alpha" Is Your Short Film View of the Tom Clancy-verse
14 May 2012 2:29 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
The new short shows off the future of war.
The video shows the members of the Alpha Squadron, members of the U.S. armed forces, going after a war criminal in the near future Eastern Europe (which is in part where Ghost Recon Future Soldier will be set).
Publisher Ubisoft put this short together alongside Little Minx films, which acts a prequel to the upcoming game, featuring the four playable characters from Future Soldier as members of the cast of characters here. The location in the film will be a multiplayer map from the game and if you look carefully, there's a secret weapon unlock code somewhere in the Ghost Recon Alpha's running time.
Here's the synopsis:
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Alpha boasts a line-up of top Hollywood talent. The film was directed by Academy Award winners Hervé de Crécy and François Alaux, who won an Oscar in 2010 for Logorama, »

Ethan Hawke Reteams With Spierig Brothers For 'Predestination'; India Eisley Is Young Angelina Jolie In 'Maleficent'
8 May 2012 7:36 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
An actor proven to be versatile and eclectic with his role choices, there seems to be only one constant in Ethan Hawke's career: directors. The actor has re-teamed with several helmers over the years, including fellow Texan Richard Linklater, Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day," "Brooklyn's Finest") and Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca," "Lord Of War"), and has a reunion with "The Woman In The Fifth" director Pawel Pawlikowski in the works. Hawke is now set to get together with "Daybreakers" directors Peter and Michael Spierig once more.
Described as a "riveting adventure through time [that's] insane, bloody and vile," the film is being sold at the upcoming Cannes Film Market with the plot to center on two detectives from a secret government time-travelling agency designed to prevent future killers and terrorists from committing their crimes. Sounds fairly generic, which unfortunately was the same criticism of the Spierigs' last film -- our review noted »

Stephenie Meyer's 'The Host': We were on the set!
18 April 2012 5:14 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Last week, EW made a special sneak peek visit to the set of The Host, the big screen adaptation of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling sci-fi novel. This is our first of several reports.
An hour outside of Albuquerque, N.M., on the rocky edge of a small, picturesque canyon, Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) is squinting into the sun. She’s flanked by two sleek, silver sports cars, and her eyes are ringed with an eerie, iridescent circle. They’re both signs that Kruger is playing The Seeker — a dogged member of the police force of an alien species called Souls, »

Beware blue eyes in The Host teaser trailer
14 April 2012 10:44 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Based on the first-look photo alone, we knew that eyes, and blue ones at that, would figure prominently in Stephenie Meyer's sci-fi tale about aliens and the humans they inhabit in The Host and the first eerie teaser trailer confirms it, with luminous azure peepers suggesting an other-worldliness in their owners.
A voice-over by star Saoirse Ronan calmly tells us that the future is a great place, no wars, no hunger and everyone is unfailingly polite and sweet. But there's a sense that something is rotten in the state of Denmark when she casually drops that tidbit that it's not Our world anymore. Heavy.
Directed by Andrew Niccol (In Time, Gattaca), the science-fiction aspect will likely be pronounced as we follow Melanie Styder (Ronan), whose body may have been invaded by a "soul" known as Wanderer, but she's not giving up without a fight.
Check out the teaser for The Host right now. »

Another Haunting Look at Saoirse Ronan in Stephenie Meyer’s The Host
4 April 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Adding onto the photo bank of stills from the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s first adult novel The Host that we brought you last week, we’ve got a new still to add to the collection. Launching the countdown to less than a year before the invasion of The Host in a theater near you is the release of this still of the incredible Saoirse Ronan post-possession.
[Click Image to Blow Sh!t Up]
Saoirse Ronan is such an amazing young actress. Even with the contacts signifying possession, Ronan can still convey so much with just a look. If Ronan can make The Lovely Bones not only watchable but memorable for me, then I’ll withstand some Stephenie Meyer!
