*Hyperventilates* What? Wow, when I read The Host I was thinking to myself "This would make a great movie." and now it is. Yay, this is going to be amazing. I wonder who they will pick for Ian. :)

I liked The Host, even though I wanted to take a scalpel and cut out the epilogue. The action sequences are going to be great visuals. :D

Kate | 69 comments I'm a little worried. I kind of like the image I have in my head of the characters and the settings... sometimes movies ruin that for me.

Stephanie | 4175 comments Mod
Now we should come up with our own cast!!!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Melanie/Wanda was pretty vivid for me, I don't know if I can pick an actress for her.


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

My friend told me that she got bored with it so I never read it.

The first hundred pages could have been condensed more, but patience is a virtue. It payed off eventually. The writing is a lot more progressed than Twilight, and even my friend who hates Twilight, enjoys The Host.

I haven't read the Host....

Lol, so basically some point in the far away future.


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

haha, yup, considering my book report book needs to be finished very soon.


message 17: by Kate (new)

Kate | 69 comments So I've been thinking about it, and I don't know how they would shoot certain scenes. Like all the scenes in the caves that are pitch black, and the conversations between Mel and Wanda. It will be interesting to see how they shoot it.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, because technically Wanda and Melanie are supposed to have the same voice, so how would that work?


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

O, that's interesting...

They should pick Taylor Lautner(Jacob from Twilight). He is HOT!!!!!

Ammie (footballwrestlingrock) | 92 comments I hope they don't ruin the Host like they did with Twilight.

I don't know, wouldn't that be a bit like type-casting? He wouldn't want to be designated as the Stephenie Meyer boy.


message 23: by Ammie (new)

Ammie (footballwrestlingrock) | 92 comments Yeah, that is totally true. But he fits the charachter PERFECTLY!!!!

Mellady77 Stibich | 1149 comments No, he doesn't fit anymore except maybe, Jaime.

The Host characters are all older characters (well, at least older in appearance anyway.) They all need to be in their mid 20's - early 30's with Jaime and Pet who are in their late teens.

Ian and Kyle O'Shea have blue eyes, black hair and their family appearance is supposed to be very apparent.

Jared has Sandy blonde hair.

Melanie is late teens when she first meets Jared but early 20's when the story starts. She has dark brown hair and eyes. Jaime has the same family traits except he's in his early teens.

Pet/Wanda is late teens, stawberry blonde hair, and silver gray eyes. She looks very innocent and everyone wanted to instinctively protect her. Jaime picked her because he thought she looked like an angel.

Ammie (footballwrestlingrock) | 92 comments Your opinions different and mines is wayy different. No prob.


message 26: by Mellady77 (new)

Mellady77 Stibich | 1149 comments I appreciate a difference of opinions but those are descriptions from the book so that would make them fact not opinion.

I am not trying to attack you personally or anything Ammie but when a book describes someone with one description and people completely ignore that physical description it irks me. What if they cast Bella as a curvy blonde? It would be totally wrong because that's Rose's description!


message 27: by Ammie (new)

Ammie (footballwrestlingrock) | 92 comments I know but you can always put a wig on or contacts. But in my POV Taylor is perfect as an Ian. Because personaly Ian is 99 percent of my dream guy. And i'm sorry if i offened you in any way.

M (readergirl67) OMG!! I love the host! I am so excited it will be a movie! Have they decided on the REAL cast yet?


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

message 30: by [deleted user] (new)
