Teaser Trailer For Stephenie Meyer's The Host, Starring Saoirse Ronan

This is a big week for young adult fiction. As we've pointed out multiple times this week, The Hunger Games will be arriving in theaters tonight at midnight, but that's not all that's going on. As previewed a couple days ago, the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II will be attached to the Suzanne Collins adaptation. But we're not done yet. Stephanie Meyer has yet another one of her books heading towards the big screen soon and today we have our first look.

The Host, adapted and directed by Andrew Niccol, won't be in theaters until March 29, 2013 but today Yahoo! has posted a teaser. Check it out below!

Starring Saoirse Ronan, Diane Kruger, Jake Abel, William Hurt, Frances Fisher and Max Irons, The Host tells the story of an alien known as The Wanderer who, following the apocalypse, takes over the mind and body of Melanie Stryder (Ronan) with the intention of finding the remnants of human society. Film is currently in production, but you can read more about it in our Blend Film Database.
