Now that the Twilight movie franchise is almost gone, tweens everywhere will be left without Stephanie Myers’ works to watch on the big screen. Not to fret, however, because her book about love, adventure and aliens will eventually be coming to theaters near you. Watch the trailer for “The Host” here, check out some behind-the-scenes footage, and let us know if you’ll be seeing it!
While I’m sure we can expect plenty of romance and teenage drama, this does look a bit more action packed and less lovey-dovey than the Twilight series. And the premise of “aliens that take over peoples’ bodies” sounds a bit more intriguing than “sparkle vampires in high school.” While I won’t be in the seats opening night, I probably won’t object if my friends want to rent The Host some night.

Will you be seeing The Host? How does it look compared to Twilight?

AAHHH! The Host is an awesome book and I have no doubt that this movie will be epic. Its more sci-fi then teen romance.

I actually enjoyed this much better than Twilight, so yes. Although the trailer didn’t make me too excited

@jmeLove_x@xanga - Its not the official trailer though. I’m sure a much better one will be released once filming is close to being done.

I’m definitely excited for it. I’ve read the book a few times, and I think it will be awesome.

I actually enjoyed that book. I’m kind of excited. =]

i dunno. it’s a first person narrative about an essentially “invisible” creature. i don’t know how well that’ll come out on screen, although i did enjoy the book.

Nah I don’t think Stephenie Meyer can write, and the LULz factor from the Twilight movies probably won’t be as strong in this book, so I’ll save my $.
guest
I really didn’t like the book, honestly. I got bored halfway through and never finished it, which is saying something – I’ve only ever given up on two books before – that one, and Catch 22.

Do the characters glimmer and wait 4 films to marry before trying to make love and suddenly be pregnant and then suddenly give birth with a 500years old doctor uncapable of helping ?
Or is there something interesting in this film?
Well…
There is more action in Disney movies than in Stephenie Meyer’s adaptations.

mmmm…the trailer sucks in my opinion. doesn’t intrigue me to read the book or watch the movie.
guest
Twilight was one of those moves that should have never been made. That trailer should reflect on the movie and “The Host” trailer well just looks stupid.
@sabbygurl@xanga - Yea I agree
guest
I loved this book :] <3
guest
Uh… No… I have better things to do with my time than watch that garbage.
guest
As a recovering Twi-hard (in my defense, I read the books BEFORE they were cool, when I was in 6th grade lol) I still like The Host. Sure its no masterpiece, but much more enjoyable and easier to take seriously than Twilight.
guest
The book was awesome! I would wait until it came out on my on demand channel though, rather than pay to see it in theatres. I mean.. look at twilight… books had me staying up in the wee hours of the morning but I detest the movies.
guest
That Trailer is clearly not the real trailer.
I LOVED the book! It keeps you guessing the whole time.
guest
It actually kind of makes me think of The Animorphs…minus people transforming into different animals (used to LOVE that series). The Host was MUCH better than Twilight (which I loved the books but hated the movies). I am excited to see a real trailer for The Host and then give my opinion on it.

The book was written slightly better than Twilight. I’ll see the movie. She may suck at fancy writing, but she can tell a good story!
guest
The answer is NO.. NO MORE GAY VAMPIRE MOVIES
guest
….am I the only one that watched like.. a bunch of other trailers after the host one went off? (They were much more exciting too.)
guest
The book’s not amazing but it is better than Twilight. (That’s not saying much)
It has got potential but it’s a lot more lovey-dovey than it sounds.
Remember when people though Twilight was a horror film?
guest
omg please no!!! the movies ruined twilight, and the host is my favorite book ever! I will not stand for it!
guest
@poetrybox@xanga - It has nothing to do with vampires…
guest
I AM SO EXCITED !!!!
I love love love love loved the book. I’m so stoked.
But I don’t like the girl they chose to play the main character =/

The book is actually her attempt at an adult novel. It is pretty good but I felt like she lost me toward the end. I loved the idea of it & everything leading up to the end, though. Overall, 3 stars so I’ll probably see the movie.
