This is just the first in what I hope will be many other images that are sure to come out in the build up to this...so those of us who read the 'Twilight Saga' books like me as well as going to see the films and are going to not know what to do with themselves when the second part of the last film comes out this will be sure to fill the void.
But if you are like me and want to read this book before you see the film...DON'T! my parents brought me this book as I am a fan of the Twilight films but it's not nothing like the 'Twilight Saga' it's much slower the book is.
Anyhew this sneak peek first image from 'The Host' shows Saoirse Ronan who you might recognise from other movies such as 'The Lovely Bones' or 'Hanna' who is playing the joint leading parts 'Melanie/Wanderer' and Jake Abel who you might recognise from films such as 'Percy Jackson & The Olypians: The Lightning Thief' or 'I Am Four' who will be playing 'Ian O'Shea' who if your like me and have already read the books you already know the story but I'll help fill in the blanks for those of you who haven't gotten around to reading these yet:
'The Host' is set in a world that has been taken over by aliens which use human 'hosts' and have tendrils that latch onto the whole of the spinal chord of the human and they take over the humaqn and live in their own communities with other aliens but their are still a very small amount of humans who try to fight against being taken over by the aliens, and Melanie who is the main character in the book is one of these humans that is on the run with her brother Jamie who will be played by Chandler Canterbury and another human on the run which she comes across whilst on the run Jared who will be played by Max Irons who you might recognise from 'Red Ridinghood' (which he starred alongside Amanda Seyfried) and whilst on the run she gets cornered in Chicago and turned into one of these 'Hosts' but Melanie is still in Wanderer who has already travelled other planets before coming to Earth and Wanderer gets flashback memories of Melanie as well as her being able to hear Melanie i.e when in the book Meanie/Wanderer eventually goes into the desert in Chicago and finds a small community of these humans on the run that include Melanie's brother as well as Jared and Mealanie's uncle Jeb who will be played by Willian Hurt and there is a bit where Wanderer gets a bit worried as she doesn't here Meanie for a period of time and she thinks if she kisses Jared that that will get Meanie mad enough at her that she'll start talking to her again.
The book then sees all the problems that Melanie/Wanderer faces in the caves and how everyone mistrusts her as she is part alien but slowly they start to trust her and she starts to like Ian.
If you want on these same pages on Entertainment Weekly there is also an interview with Jake Abel about what it was like to be behind the scenes with writer/director Andrew Niccol as well as what it was like to collaborate with Stephanie Meyer on this movie:
