If you're already in mourning that The Twilight Saga will end on cienmas screens next year, at least you can finds some solace in the fact that another Stephenie Meyer adaptation, The Host, is due out March 2013.
The sci-fi tale revolves around a hostile alien takeover, where extraterrestrials 'souls' hijack the brains of unsuspecting humans to conrol their bodies. William Hurt is currently in talks to play the pivotal role of Jeb, the eccentric uncle of heroine Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan). Jeb is one of the human survivalist leaders who has lead the war against this alien threat. Saoirse's character meanwhile is co-opted by one of the invading creatures, but her emotions and feelings causes unexpected changes in the alien, which causes it to rethink what it's doing.
Production on The Host is set to start early next year. Max Irons and Jake Abel have also joined the project, with Andrew Niccol directing.
