The Host (Meyer)

9/24/09 - Author Stephanie Meyer is preparing a movie version of her book The Host.  Variety reported that Meyer's novel is a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species of benevolent parasites that call themselves "Souls." One such soul, the Wanderer, is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder, in an attempt to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth.  Meyer supposedly turned down several offers for The Host until she responded to Andrew Niccol's involvement and the producers' strong vision and collaborative spirit.
