Stephenie Meyer blogged on her site about The Host being made into a movie:

Hey guys, great news! The Host is on its way to the big screen:

Variety.com: “Twilight’s Meyer…”

I’m so excited to be working with Nick Weschler, and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz to bring The Host to a visual format. They’ve all been a dream to work with, so lovely and collaborative, and I feel like we’re in a really good place to make a great movie together. And then to have Andrew Niccol writing and directing? Truly awesome. If you’ve never seen Gattaca, go watch it now. One of my favorite movies of all time. It’s such a great example of character driven science fiction, which is ideal for The Host, no? I’m having an absolute blast imagining different dream casts, which I would post if people didn’t take my silly blogs so seriously these days. I’m looking forward to seeing the cast lists you come up with in the fansite forums, and if any of them match mine.

So, very exciting. Yay Host!

  • Hannah:

    Ahhhhh…. Yes. This has just made me happier than I was when I found out they were making Twilight into a movie.

    Nobody like, stone me or whatever, but as a novel, I actually loved The Host slightly more than the Twilight saga. Not saying my love for Twilight saga has gone down, but just been knocked out of first place. The Host is my all-time favorite book and I am sooooo incredibly happy that they’re making it into a movie. I just hope they get it as close to the book as humanly possible. EEEEEEEEE! Can’t wait! :D :D :D

  • Boo:

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH !
    Je suis TROP contente :D Dès que j’ai commencé ce livre, je n’ai pas pu le fermer jusqu’à ce que j’ai fini ! C’est de loin mon livre préféré parmi tous ceux que j’ai pu lire, il dépasse Twilight c’est LE meilleur livre du monde u_u
    Hâte hâte hâte qu’il sorte ! Mais je sens que je vais devoir attendre longtemps pour qu’il sorte en France :(

    Les âmes vagabonde <333

  • CHLO:

    YESSSSSSSSSS WOOOOHH OMG :D

  • bailey:

    <333333333333333333333

  • Aliss:

    ive heard the book wasnt all that great, but im gonna have to go read it now, lol

  • MUSEfan:):

    @BOO
    J’ai lu votre commentaire, je suis en train d’apprendre à parler français, et je me suis embrouillé. Avez-vous dit qu’on ne pense L’hôte est mieux alors Crépuscule? simplement curieux, parce que je n’ai pas lu l’hôte pour le moment. Je ne suis pas sûr si cela est encore bon français. haha!
    merci!
    <3 MUSEfan:)

  • MUSEfan:):

    Désolé, je vois déjà mes erreurs. (titres haha livre) pardon, je n’ai été fait français pendant presque un an.

  • Yay! I cant believe it! ive been waiting for this moment ever since i read the book!:) My dream cast would be:
    Jacob-Jenson Ackles
    Ian-Ian Somerhaulder
    Melanie- Sophia Bush
    Wanda- Elishabeth Harnois
    Jamie- Josh Hutcherson
    Kyle- Chris Evans
    Jeb- Sam Elliott
    Doc- Lee Pace or Paul Bettany

  • Person:

    When I finished the book a second time and finally got what it was about I Got upset when the book ended. Then I started researching on the internet about whether or not it was going to be made into a movie and I almost cried with happiness when I found out its coming out as a movie. Love the twilight saga but its not nearly as good as The Host.

In the last hundred years or so, I never imagined anything like this. I didn’t believe I would ever find someone I wanted to be with… in another way than my brothers and sisters. And then to find, even though it’s all new to me, that I’m good at it… at being with you… — Edward Cullen, Twilight | Chapter 14
