Stephenie Meyer's
The Host won't hit screens until 2013, but that doesn't mean we can't obsess over the cast, pictures, trailers, etc. until then. If you've been following "the buzz" about this movie, you already know that Saoirse Ronan was cast as Melanie Stryder (big thumbs up in my opinion).

| Saoirse Ronan |
According to
IMDB, three others have been cast to act alongside Saoirse:
 |
William Hurt will be playing Jeb |
 |
Max Irons will be playing Jared Howe
(I'm still iffy about this one, but who knows...) |
 |
Jake Abel will be playing Ian O'Shea

It's pretty fun to put faces to the characters in my head. I really enjoyed
The Host and read it a few times, actually. I can't wait to see it on film, and (fingers crossed) I can't wait for there to be a sequel. Rumors about book 2,
The Soul, have been floating around for a while now. Hopefully Stephenie Meyer is just waiting for the movie to announce the release of the next book.
How do you like these casting choices? Are you as excited about The Host movie as I am?
I haven't read 'The Host' but I like Jake Abel lol. So I can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually even read The Host. I was so let down by Twilight that I was just turned off from all things Meyer. Maybe I should go to my library and check it out. Can't hurt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I didn't like The Host as much as the Twilight series but it was still good.
ReplyDeleteI love Saoirse Ronan. I kind of sort of modeled my MC off of her. And the other actors? Not too shabby. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis could be really good. I actually enjoyed THE HOST a lot more than the TWILIGHT series. These are some good choices for actors too. I wouldn't mind reading a sequel either.
ReplyDeleteI love Ronan. She is an excellent actress. Cool casting news!
ReplyDeletethere was actually an interview w meyer where she said that she wasnmt working on any books right now, but had been very involved in the movies being made instead.
ReplyDeleteI love these updates about the movie. I think I've commented before that it's one of my favorite books. I'm so excited for Book 2 to release.
ReplyDeleteMy fav here is definitely Jake Abel. Not so sure about the others. I would have preferred a different Melanie... I will still go watch the movie though!
ReplyDeleteI have never read it, or anything by Stephanie Meyer. Nothing against her, just other things keep stacking up above them to read.
ReplyDeleteSuper pissed to hear that Ian Somerhalder auditioned for the role of Ian and didnt get it. That would have been an absolute perfect match, can us fans sign a petition or something :P no but really...
ReplyDeletei have read the host and i believe that the movie is going to be amazing because the book is worth sleepless nights
