Another great from author Meyer |
|
I know a lot of my male followers will condemn me for saluting author Stephanie Meyer however I cannot deny enjoying both her books and the big screen movie adaptations of them as well. Although not having read The Host this movie is no exception as it has originality qualities something that is lacking in film in this day and age.
The storyline is as follows; An alien species in the form of parasites have invaded earth and most of the human species eliminating any evil feelings of war, hatred you name it....earth has become for the first time peaceful. There are a few humans left that are hunted down by the 'Souls' and converted. A few of these humans led by Uncle Jeb Stryder (William Hurt) now have a rebellion against the alien souls and are fighting for what is rightfully theirs ... |

The Host |
|
The Host (2013) Aliens have invaded the Earth and have taken over the minds and bodies of most of the population. Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) sacrifices herself to let her boyfriend and brother escape and allows an alien named, the Wanderer, to take over her body/mind. But, to the alien’s chagrin, Melanie hasn’t given up. It turns out Melanie is sharing her body, mind and memories with the alien, an experience that will change both of their lives. From the same novelist, Stephenie Meyer, who gave us the Twilight series, this film has much better acting and better dialogue than that series with the sparkly vampires. Saoirse Ronan doesn’t disappoint in the multi-role of Melanie and The Wanderer, portraying basically two roles in one body. The film is very typical of the Young Adult films... |

Something tells me as soon as Twilight was a hit, everything Stephanie Meyer's was involved in was optioned. Can't say the subject matter interests me a whole lot, but Saoirse Ronan has much more talent than Kristen Stewart, so at least casting wise they're off to a good start.
