Max Irons Joins Stephenie Meyer’s ‘The Host’

The Host

Despite the conclusion of the cinematic adaptation of her Twilight novels, writer Stephenie Meyer isn’t going anywhere.

EW is reporting that Max Irons has been cast in the role of Jared Howe for the upcoming film based on Meyer’s novel, The Host. The film, scheduled to bow in 2013, is set to be helmed by Andrew Niccol, and already finds Saoirse Ronan in the lead role of Melanie Stryder, “a young woman who shares her body with an alien force known as Wanderer.”

Now, I’m not at all familiar with the story, but Niccol, despite how awful In Time may have been, is a very interesting filmmaker, so this project should be one to keep an eye on. I’m not a Meyer fan by any means, but the premise is definitely interesting, and the cast equally so, so hopefully this can be a film that can become something of a pleasant surprise.

  1. Max Irons?! Seriously?? That poor boy. Does he know what he’s getting himself into? I feel like he’s not ready for the intense focus that the twi-tweens will hit him with once pictures from filming start leaking online.
