The Stars of Twilight

According to Variety, Producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz have used their own money to acquire screen rights to The Host and Andrew Niccol will write the script and direct. There is no timeline currently associated with the project that has been revealed at this time.




According to Variety, “The trio wanted to make a science fiction film and fixed on The Host…The producers continued lobbying the author and her reps at UTA and The Writers House with a significant offer, a strong vision for the project, and a collaborative spirit. Meyer eventually said yes.



In fact, Niccol first came under consideration after Wechsler and the Schwartz’ asked Meyer her favorite science fiction films, and Gattaca and The Truman Show were in her top five. Niccol wrote and directed Gattaca and scripted the Peter Weir-directed The Truman Show. ”



According to Nick Wechsler, “We wanted Stephenie to be involved in the adaptation, and have her endorse and be part of the creative decisions, Twilight has proven she more more [sic]about what works than most.”



Let the speculation begin! Who would you want to be Ian, Jared, Wanda and Melanie

Who else thinks this is a really, really BAD idea? I DO!!!! I like the book but they shouldn't ruin it by turning it into a movie. Twilight is enough. The book is always better and I know it has to be hard for Stephenie to give her babies up but I honestly think it would make a crappy movie. I don't really get a big say in this because it is beyond my control but.....I don't like it..
