The Host Movie Update

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.

StephenieMeyer.com Update: The Host paperback

Seth has updated StephenieMeyer.com with news that The Host is available for pre-order in paperback now!

Good news: The Host paperback is now available for pre-order. I have just heard from the publishing company that the paperback release will have a Reading Group Guide that includes the following:

  • New, never-before-published “bonus chapter”
  • An interview with Stephenie
  • Discussion topics and questions
  • Stephenie’s annotated playlist

It will be released on April 13, 2010. As always, I highly recommend The Host to anyone who has not yet read it. Have a great day!

Stephenie Meyer on “The Host” being made into a movie

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!
