The film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's sci-fi novel The Host will be distributed by Open Road Films, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, and starring Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan, The Host is slated to open on March 29, 2013. Niccol, probably best known for Gattaca, will start shooting the film in Louisiana and New Mexico in February 2012.
Studios have been looking for another big-time franchise to replace the Harry Potter and Stephenie Meyer's own Twilight Saga franchises. The former will come to a close this year; the latter ends in summer 2012.
In The Host — which is not a book series — an alien race take over the bodies and minds of humans. Inevitably, one particular human refuses to let herself become "possessed." Invader and invaded then become unlikely allies.
Among Saoirse Ronan's best-known movies are Atonement, The Lovely Bones, Hanna, and City of Ember.
