the way they said that it sounds like The Host is a follow up book to the Twilight Saga…maybe it is just me…but it just sounds weird.
But yay for a director. I can’t wait to see the movie!

I agree Jaidi, it did kinda sound like The Host was part of the. Twilight Saga…weird. I’m waiting [impaitently] for even an approx Host release date. But I assume it won’t happen until the last Twilight movie comes out…I’m very anxious for all of them
