Stephenie Meyer has written other things besides the Twilight Saga. Well, actually, only one other thing, and it sure didn't take long for someone to swoop in and snag the movie rights to it.
Stephenie's adult novel, The Host, was picked up by producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz and will be written/ directed by The Truman Show screenwriter Andrew Niccol.
The Host is described as:
"…a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species that call themselves “Souls.” They are benevolent parasites that subsume the conscious of humans and take possession of their bodies. One such soul, The Wanderer (so named because she has wandered among so many different worlds) is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder, in an attempt to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth. The Wanderer cannot subsume the forceful Melanie, and they battle for the girl’s memories and her spirit."
That sounds a little freakier than Twilight to us. We don't know if we're down for that.
Are U?
