With a generation of Tweens (and beyond) saying goodbye to The Twilight Saga, a new Stephenie Meyer adaptation will fill the vampire/werewolf void with soul-stealing alien parasites; how dreamy! The sci-fi flick from writer/director Andrew Niccol (In Time) stars Saoirse Ronan (Hanna) as a young woman who is among the last humans to be taken over by the alien parasites, though her spirit won’t give up without a fight. We’ve got 13 new images from The Host, which opens March 29th, that also show off co-stars Diane Kruger, Boyd Holbrook, Max Irons and Jake Abel. Hit the jump to take a look.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Host:
THE HOST is a riveting story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed.

I just hope they give equal time to the other guy Ian and it’s not all a one sided love fest with Jared. I’ll be honest I didn’t really care about Melanie and Jared’s love story it’s almost a secondary thing since the story is told from Wanda’s eyes and only really serves to propel the story along in the beginning and Jared’s a jerk. The Wanda / Ian love story is what I’m more interested in seeing because it involves understanding tolerance and acceptance but I’m increasingly thinking that’s going to get short changed in this film because it’s such a big book.
I agree on all accounts. You are right on the money.
If the Yeerks won! Twilight edition.
I read this so I could legitimately judge Meyer’s writing not by the Twilight movies, and without having to read Twilight. It’s a good premise, but does it really need the ridicilous love triangle? The worst part was the cop-out ending.
