Tonight in Philadelphia Stephenie Meyer announced that she is currently writing the The Host sequel.
The novel will be entitled The Seeker. Both Max Irons and Jake Abel who are on tour with Meyer said they would love to work on The Host sequel.
William Hurt and Diane Kruger also star in the adaptation, which is looking to capitalize on the Twilight audience as it hits theaters next month, March 29.
When an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, Melanie Stryder will risk everything to protect the people she cares most about — Jared, Ian, her brother Jamie and her Uncle Jeb, proving that love can conquer all in a dangerous new world.
The Seeker has been rumored to be the The Host sequel for years but this is the first time Meyer has confirmed it. The Host has always been described as a trilogy with The Seeker and The Soul respectively being books two and three.
Meyer is currently touring the country with Jake Abel and Max Irons the stars of the film. The Host will open on March 29. Do you think The Host will be the next Twilight?

Spoiler alert! - Cast Wanda / Petals Open to the Moon
***Possible Spoiler Alert! Do not read any further if you do not want the book or the actor playing Pet spoiled for you. You have been warned.*** So, you know those people who just can’t wait til Christmas to find …
“…we know from the book that her voice is described as “high and trilling”. “It was a child’s hand, except for the long pink-and-white nails, filed into perfect, smooth curves. The skin was fair, with a strange silvery cast to it and, entirely incongruous, a scattering of golden freckles…The face in the mirror was roundish, too, not quite oval. Small. The skin on the face had the same silver undertone – silver like moonlight – as the hand did, with another handful of the golden freckles across the bridge of the nose. Wide gray eyes, the silver of the soul shimmering faintly behind the soft color, framed by tangled gold lashes. Pale pink lips, full and almost round, like a baby’s. Small, even white teeth behind them. A dimple in the chin. And everywhere, everywhere, waving hair that stood away from my face in a bright halo and fell below where the mirror showed…Like an exact translation from Flower to human [describing her face]…This body looked much younger than her true age, hovering on the verge of seventeen.”

From 'Twilight' to 'The Host': A Stephenie Meyer Timeline
While stars of the sci-fi love story scoff at comparisons to the Kristen Stewart franchise, there is something to be said about joining a Meyer adaptation.

The Host is no Twilight, but the phenomenal success of the latter undoubtedly spurred progress on the former, which hits theaters March 29.

Stephenie Meyer On Why She Originally Wanted Matt Damon For The Host And Her Sci-Fi Influences
It's rare enough to write a book and see it become a hit, and rarer still to see that book become a series of enormously successful movies. But for those movies to be so big that your name itself is enough to sell a film? That's about as exclusive a club as it gets for authors, and Stephenie Meyer is the latest inductee thanks to this weekend's release of The Host, the adaptation of her first novel written after the conclusion of the massive Twilight franchise.
Though The Host centers around a love triangle of sorts, and the main character is a remarkably self-possessed young woman fighting to be with the man who she loves, it's a pretty big transition from the vampire vs. werewolf dramatics of Twilight. Set in the distant future, when aliens called Souls have inhabited the bodies of nearly every human on earth, The Host stars Saoirse Ronan as Melanie, a human who's possessed by the Soul named Wanderer, but who hangs on to life long enough that Wanderer and Melanie eventually get to know each other. When Melanie leads them to the last hideout of the human resistance, Wanderer has trouble getting the humans to be comfortable around her-- but she also managed to strike a romance with Ian (Jake Abel), even while Melanie longs to be together again with Jared (Max Irons).
It's a tricky story, sure, but Meyer's proven already she has what it takes to spin out complex romances. I talked to her in Manhattan last week about her work as producer on The Host and how much more power she had compared to when she first started with the Twilight films, her own sci-fi influences, and how her Mormon faith has influenced story lines in both Twilight and The Host. Check out that and much more below.
You have been on the road with the cast for a long time, and I hear that a prank war has escalated. How long has it been?
Four weeks, five weeks. I don’t know. It was a really long time and so, to spice up the day, they would send these notes that actually were wads of chewed gum and then we would have people bring them bugs because Max has a bug fear, and so there were little things back and forth. The last thing Jake did is he had tweeted everyone to bring ping pong balls and give them to me at the signing, and so I ended up with hundreds and hundreds of ping pong balls everywhere. It was such a pain, but I kept them all in the box and that night at the screening, I gave them to the first three rows of the audience and then they pelted him with them. And he realized that you don’t want to arm me.
Seriously!
I think it’s died down.
You should just threaten to kill him off in the sequel.
I do that all of the time. I keep coming up with things like, “What if we take your arm off and you spend the whole time with a stump. I could make his life really miserable.
You have a lot of power in this situation.
I do.
You’re relishing it, clearly.
I mean, he always the power to say, “You know, I’m not going to do your movie,” and then we’re so screwed. So, there’s a balance.
You’ve been involved in the process with The Host since the very, very beginning, and you fought for Andrew Niccol to direct it. I’m curious how that compares to the way the first Twilight started.
Completely different. With the first Twilight, they were actually really nice. A lot of times authors sign their rights away and that’s the last they hear until they go and see the movie, probably on their own dime, most of the time. [Summit] let me look at the script when it was done. I gave a few notes. I don’t know that a lot of them were implemented, because it was kind of at a late stage. Most of the actors were picked before, and then they would tell me about it. I think a lot of the fans felt like, of course I would get to pick things and that my involvement was a lot more, because I got a lot of letters, like, “Why did you pick this,” and “How come we don’t have this in the movie?”
Oh, and I can name one thing they did change. They didn’t have Edward playing the piano in the final script and I said, “You know, everybody is waiting for that...for Bella’s lullaby. That’s the one I get the most commentary about that people are waiting to see,” and they did go back and put that in, which I thought was really, really lovely of them and it made the fans very happy.
But with The Host, it was the experience that I think people think you’re having, where I was involved with everything. Nick Wechsler was the producer, and it’s a very organic, common sense process, like, “Stephenie knows what everything should be like, so let’s see what she thinks about things.”
So, did he come to you and ask for the book rights?
It wasn’t even like, “I want to buy the book rights.” It was like, “I think we can make this movie together,” from the very beginning and I was like, “I don’t think this movie can be made, because honestly, the book is a conversation inside one person’s head. It’s just not visual.” And he said, “If we find the right person, they’ll have a way." To me it was like, “This is ridiculous. It’s never going to happen,” but he’s so positive, like, “We can make this happen.”
By the end of Twilight was your experience more similar to that, by the time Breaking Dawn came along?
It was more similar. I was more involved, definitely with the script phase, I got to put notes in much earlier. With the casting, I as much more involved, but we had our main cast, which is 90% of the movie. So, it was fun to get to pick these other, you know, be involved in getting Lee Pace, which was really cool, though the cut one of his big moments. I really hope it comes into the extras at some point. Working with all of those actors are some really fun people, but it’s not the same as saying our main character will be Saoirse Ronan, because that dictates everything. You know, and they did a really great job with the first Twilight, so it wasn’t a huge hardship not to have been involved in that, and we had the right actors, but it was really cool to be a part of that with The Host.

The Host: 10 Big Differences Between The Book And Movie
Stephanie Meyer is not in my wheelhouse when it comes to reading. Somehow, every female character she writes is either passive or annoying and every male character she writes is a stock character of some sort of male ideal. Throw in some saccharine descriptive sentences and groanworthy dialogue and she has achieved her perfect formula for The Host, a sci-fi romance novel about what is perhaps humanity’s last great fight for freedom and the ability to love. For those who are fans of Meyer’s work, The Host has now been turned into a film, courtesy of sci-fi megawriter and director Andrew Niccol.
With Niccol writing and directing The Host for the big screen, Meyer’s novel was in capable hands. The Gattaca and The Truman Show writer could surely add a little snap and pizzaz to an otherwise tiresome endeavor. As it turns out, however, creating a symbiosis between a character living in the real world and a character stuck in that real world character’s head is more difficult than one might think. Some credit is maybe due to Niccol’s giving the concept a shot, but there’s no doubt in my mind that The Host works better in novel format than in film which, depending on your personal outlook, doesn’t mean much.Following are the ten biggest changes I noticed in my screening of The Host. Feel free to remark on any changes you feel may have been more noticeable. There are many spoilers in The Host book to movie comparison. Do not delve in if you want the film to be a surprise.
Due to time constraints, the film begins with a voiceover narrative explaining the takeover of the hosts. One of the more careful things The Host does is slowly unfold the narrative of the takeover of the Earth through Wanderer’s thoughts and storytelling. However, the film jumps the gun so as to tell a much more personal tale than one of takeover.
Wanderer and Melanie’s relationship is shown through flashbacks and voiceover on Melanie’s end. As noted prior, these are the most unappealing elements of the film. All of the flashback sequences take us out of the action. Plus, the weird seemingly one-sided conversations both make Wanda look like a crazy person and become extremely tedious throughout the film. I’m not sure there was any better way to achieve this odd marrying of two characters, so perhaps this film was doomed from the start.

SOLA
[Melanie]
Estoy completamente sola. Esta oscuro. No puedo recordar donde estoy o porque estoy aquí. Está mal que esté sola. ¿Dónde esta Wanda? No puedo ver para buscarla. No recuerdo como llamarla. Está silencioso. No puedo sentirla. No puedo sentir nuestro cuerpo. El pánico comienza mientras espero escuchar su voz. Para oírla decir mí nombre. Para que me diga donde estamos. Para que abra mis ojos y podamos ver. Necesito escuchar su voz. Mí voz, en mi tono más suave, mi más suave inflexión.

The Host Bonus Chapter - Complete
I'm all alone.
It's dark. I can't remember where I am . . . or why I'm here. It's wrong that I'm alone. Where is Wanda? I can't see to look for her. I can't remember how to call for her. It's silent. I can't feel her. I can't feel our body.
Panic starts to set in as I wait for her voice. For her to say my name. To tell me where we are. To open my eyes so we can see. I need to hear her voice — my voice, in my softest tone, my gentlest inflection.
I wait, but there is nothing. Just me and the dark.

The Host Car
Chrome Lotus Evora showcased in new trailer for Stephenie Meyer's 'The Host'
Although most automotive enthusiasts could probably care less about the upcoming sci-fi/ teen love story film The Host, its latest trailer features a certain upscale sports car that is worth a look. Based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight), The Host tells the story of a parasitic alien race called “Souls” that have invaded Earth and have begun to possess the minds of the human race. The trailer is mostly void of details, but it appears that the aliens prefer to travel in chrome vehicles, in particular a chrome Lotus Evora.
