Interview: Talking ‘The Purge’ with Ethan Hawke
2 June 2013 9:13 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
In America wracked by escalating crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity including murder becomes legal. The police can’t be called and hospitals suspend help. It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. ‘The Purge’, directed by James DeMonaco stars Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey.
Here’s what Ethan Hawke had to say about his recent project.
Why do you think families in peril make for a good suspense film?
Ethan Hawke: Well families in peril is everyones fear. In the movie when you see the husband and wife loading guns and him teaching her how to take the safety off, it’s kind of every parents worst nightmare. »

Movie Review: 'The Host'
29 March 2013 6:45 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Starring: Saoirse Ronan, William Hurt, Diane Kruger
Directed by Andrew Niccol
Rated PG-13
Because of a little series of books called Twilight, Stephenie Meyer, the author of those books, has enjoyed success not only in the literary world (but only because of sales, not accolades) but in the film world as well. Just in case you’ve just now crawled out of your bomb shelter you holed up in due to the YK2 panic, these Twilight books were turned into a massively successful film franchise (again, only in terms of dollars, not accolades). The franchise, seemingly hated on by everyone, but seen by most everyone (myself included) launched Stephenie Meyer into the stratosphere and now it seems that everyone in Hollywood wants to get in on the action. The problem is, Twilight was lighting in a bottle and Meyers isn’t that good of a writer.

Review: ‘The Host’ Is a Cry For Help From What’s Left of Andrew Niccol
29 March 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
It’s been difficult to pin down what exactly happened to writer/director Andrew Niccol after his 1997 debut, Gattaca, but theories ranged from him having been replaced with a lookalike to him having had a stroke. A double feature of S1mone and In Time suggests the latter, but what then to make of the film sandwiched between them? Lord of War is a blackly comic morality play that never saw the eyeballs it deserved, but as if he were being punished for creating something thought-provoking, he disappeared for the next six years only to return in 2011 with a legitimately terrible, feature-length wrist-watch commercial starring Justin Timberlake. The release of his latest film sees him once again crafting lazy, simplistic sci-fi, this time adapting a novel by bestselling hack Stephenie Meyer, but in addition to being laughably bad, The Host may actually offer an answer to the question above. What happened to turn the man behind Gattaca »

'The Host' (2013) Movie Review
29 March 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
All films face expectations. Unless you're able to walk into a movie completely unaware of what the next couple of hours has to offer, this is a natural fact. Yet, whether it's the director, cast, screenwriter or even the studio, an audience member must attempt to get over their expectations if there is any hope of enjoying a film, free of any and all encumbrances. In the case of The Host, expectations arise as a result of the source material's author, Stephenie Meyer, and I'm sorry to say her's is a name that creates low expectations. Meyer ushered unto the world the "Twilight" novels and the resulting film franchise, which has been laughed at by critics while fawned over by fans too young to know any better and too emotionally invested to care. Knowing nothing beyond a limited amount of information about The Host before going in and any previous »

The Host starring Saoirse Ronan adds new clip!
20 March 2013 2:51 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Watch a new clip called "Stop Your Vehicle" from Open Road Films' The Host, starring Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Diane Kruger, Jake Abel and William Hurt, Frances Fisher, Chandler Canterbury and Boyd Holbrook. With the success of the Twilight franchise, one has to wonder how much this one will turn in from its domestic debut come March 29th. Andrew Niccol's a very diverse director, with experience in multiple genres, including the more recent Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried starrer In Time, as well as Lord of War, Gattaca and The Truman Show. When looking at The Host and comparing his previous sci-fi-orientated work, one can see clearly why he fits this project so well. The Host is a riveting story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, »

"It's important you stay in control of this host." The new trailer for the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's sci-fi novel The Host has arrived, but this time with a little more plot detail. We've known the synopsis of the story for sometime, but the trailer finally plays it out for us. As an alien force has taken over most of Earth's inhabitants, using them as hosts, there are still pockets of resistance. When a sect of the aliens takes upon an injured human, they decide to inhabit her body and use her to lead them to the resistance. But the girl's memories make it difficult to maintain control. Oh, and there's a lot of shiny cars and motorcylces too! Here's the new trailer for Andrew Niccol's adaptation of The Host originally from Yahoo: Andrew Niccol (In Time, Gattaca, Lord of War) wrote and directed the adaptation of The Host, »

The Host New Character Movie Posters
21 January 2013 9:28 AM, PST | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
The lovebirds in The Host each get their own character posters in Stephenie Meyer's big screen adaptation. The Host stars Saoirse Ronan and Max Irons stand in similar pose with mournful glances in the new posters.
We can expect more character movie posters most likely with The Host's other stars Diane Kruger and William Hurt, but these first images from the young adult novel adaptation feature Melanie Stryder (Ronana) and Jared Howe (Irons), the young leads of the sci-fi romance directed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, Lord of War, In Time). The first poster released for The Host featured the two along with another one of the young stars Jake Abel as Ian.
In The Host, our two leads find them living in a post apocalytic world after aliens invade human bodies.

‘The Host’ Featurette
17 January 2013 10:36 AM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Stephanie Meyer has become one of the most popular contemporary writers, following in the successes of Stephen King and J.K. Rowling. When Harry Potter’s adventures had run its course, it was her “Twilight” series that dominated young adult literature which was tinged with fantasy. She is not only a hot commodity for the literary field, but also the cinematic.
Saoirse Ronan, who has acted in “Hanna” and “Atonement,” will play Melanie in “The Host.” The movie is based on Meyer’s book of the same name. She says of the character, “Melanie is tough and feisty.” She also discusses her personal involvement in the behind-the-scenes effects for the movie: “I like doing my own stunts because it’s always going to look more realistic.”
This new film is written and directed by Andrew Niccol whose best works are “The Truman Show” which earned him an Oscar nomination, and the Nic Cage-led “Lord of War. »

New Banners for The Host starring Saoirse Ronan
15 January 2013 5:35 AM, PST | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
Looking for something to fill the void Twilight has left behind and The Hunger Games just won’t fill you up? Well, The Host may well fill you up, its the latest book to movie adaptation, with Stephenie Meyer (Missus Twilight) behind the book. Andrew Niccol (In Time, Lord Of war, S1m0ne) is on the directorial comeback trail, as this is only the second movie hes directed since 2005 (In Time being his most recent). But he’s got a really solid track record (I rather like S1m0ne) and no doubt Meyer knows how to work her audience. We’ve just been sent the latest banners for The Host and besides them reminding me of Heroes, they look rather decent, steamy and possibly a bit too futuristic (even though its set in the future). Anyway…. Synopsis: From Stephenie Meyer (author of The Twilight Saga) comes The Host, a love story set in the future, »

Three New Posters for 'The Host' May Also Be Shampoo & Car Ads
4 January 2013 9:35 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Choose to believe. Choose to love. Choose to drive a Lotus Evora. Three new posters have emerged for the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's sci-fi novel The Host, but two of them might also double as magazine ads for a car or shampoo. While there's a one sheet that feels familiar with Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons and Jake Abel, the other two are just strange. One with Diane Kruger prominently features a shiny Lotus Evora in the desert while the other has Ronan and Irons embracing romantically either in the rain or a shower, which immediately reminded me of Herbal Essences shampoo. See the new posters yourself below! Here's the three new posters for Andrew Niccol's The Host from Yahoo: Andrew Niccol (In Time, Gattaca, Lord of War) wrote and directed the adaptation of The Host, based on the sci-fi novel of the same name by Twilight author Stephanie Meyer. »

Thn’s 2013 Preview: March And April
2 January 2013 3:30 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Welcome back to our preview of the cinematic highlights coming up in 2013. Yesterday, we looked at the first two months that contained more than a few award contenders, but with the spring comes not only warmer weather but distinctly more lighthearted films in the cinema. Welcome to Thn’s look at March and April, the cinematic equivalent of those awkward teen years where the not-quite awards contenders/not-quite blockbusters usually land.
March
The snow starts to melt (hopefully!), the weather starts getting warmer (hopefully!), and we celebrate Jesus dying by painting eggs and hiding them for our kids. In between, you might get a chance to go to the cinema and here’s what you can expect from the month of March:
Broken City will be director Allen Hughes’ (Menace II Society, From Hell, Book Of Eli) first without brother Albert by his side. The solid cast sees Mark Wahlberg »
