September 23, 2009 - The Host / project announced
Scooped on Sunday, September 27, 2009
Film rights for Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's The Host have been sold to producers Nick Wechsler, Steve Schwartz and Paula Mae Schwartz. Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, Lord of War) will adapt Meyer's novel and direct the movie.
Meyer's first adult novel is set in a world where almost every human being's body has been taken over by alien entities called "Souls". These intangible beings drop into the human body and then remove the personality of its owner. Meyer's heroine is a young woman who is fighting to rid a Soul that calls itself Wanderer that has entered her body.
The three producers purchased the screen rights to Meyer's novel and are developing the movie independently of the studio system. [Full story]
