Deadline New York is reporting on the progress that is being made to The Host movie and they might start shooting it early 2011!

I can report some forward progress on the movie version of The Host, Meyer’s first adult novel which she optioned last fall to producers Nick Wechsler and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz–the trio behind the terrific screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Steve Schwartz tells me that Andrew Niccol is working on the third draft of a screenplay which he’s writing in close consultation with the author.

Stephenie Meyer announced today on her website that she will be releasing a new book called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner coming out June 5th!

I have a new book coming out. It’s called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Well, it’s more of a novella than an actual book—my version of a short story.

Actually, this has been a surprise to me, too. The reason why it’s a surprise was that I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book. I began this story a long time ago—before Twilight was even released. Back then I was just editing Eclipse, and in the thick of my vampire world. I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree’s perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn.

There was one thing I asked for: since this story had always been an extra for me, and was meant to be released with the Guide, I wanted to be able to offer it to my fans for free. You all have bought a ton of my books, and I wanted to give you this story as a gift. My publisher was awesome and embraced this idea. We still wanted to also produce a physical book with a cool cover (see above) that you can add to your set if you like, but starting at noon on June 7th until July 5th, it will also be available online at www.breetanner.com.

Saturday Night Magazine is having a contest to win a chance to meet Nikki Reed on the set of her photoshoot for Saturday Night Magazine! For rules and how to enter click HERE!

One of the films expected to battle for the summer box office crown or at least place in the top five is the third “Twilight” feature, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” The second installment, “New Moon,” broke the single day all-time opening record with $72 million, is currently the third biggest 3-day opening of all time with $142 million and ended up with $296 million domestic and $707 million worldwide. And that was all in November when many of the franchise’s younger fans had school on Friday (although let’s assume many of them cut out early). “Eclipse’s” June 30 release should find those young tween girls out of school and flocking to the theater. Adding more intrigue to the box office gross is that “Eclipse” will also be released in IMAX theaters which feature higher ticket prices. So, a larger opening weekend is guaranteed right? No doubt, but what happens after that?

As a very busy Director of a Childcare center and mother of two, I rarely (let’s just say never) have much time to read a magazine let alone an entire book. I heard about the “Twilight Saga” through a staff member and decided that I had to make to to read it.. I purchased ithe book and sat down one night to start reading. Well, that was it. I blew through the first book that night and on my way to a baby shower the next day, stopped to purchase “New Moon”. 2 days later, I was ready for “Eclipse”. I was completely obsessed and couldn’t get enough of this story line. It was such an exciting, enticing & engaging love story and I am such a huge fan. I waited for the release of “Breaking Dawn” and like so many others waited in line at midnight for my copy. I have now gotten my entire staff hooked and they too have read the books. We all went to see the “Twilight” movie and followed with “New Moon” (now there are 17 of us so we took up an entire theater row) where we dressed the part, & made up “New Moon” goodies bags. Too Fun! Some of us are Team Jacob & others are Team Edward. I folllow the Twilighters.org site regualry, read everything I can about Robert Pattinson, and subscribe for the updates. I am a huge fan of Stephanie Meyer, the movies and all the actors. So bite me!!! LOL!

Congrats to Taylor Lautner who won “Favorite Movie Actor” last night at the Kids Choice Awards!
