Saoirse Ronan in "The Host"
The novel is aimed at a slightly more adult audience than either "Twilight" or "The Hunger Games," and takes place in a dystopian future of power-hungry, body-snatching aliens with bright blue eyes. Produced by Chockstone Pictures, the film is being released by AMC/Regal's Open Road Films. Even with its Stephenie Meyer DNA, it's unlikely that horrific "The Host" will do for Open Road what "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" have done for Summit-turned-Lionsgate.

Oh, god, no, why!? I miss the days when franchise fare was at least "decent" - Spider-Man, Batman, Shrek (1+2), POTC (1, maybe 2). Now we have franchises like Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Host. What, oh god what, is next!?
These are movies aimed at a dumbed-down, over-emotional and sexualized youth! Yah, the books encourage young kids (mostly girls, let's face it..) to read, but I would prefer that they not read at all than to have them think that this crap is "literature."
