The host Stephenie Meyer

The Host (tagline on Meyer’s website: “Science fiction for people who don’t like science fiction”) spent more than a year on bestseller lists after its release. The story takes place in the near future, when alien parasites called Souls have infected most of the human population in the world’s biggest marionette takeover. Young rogue Melanie is infected by a soul called Wanderer. When the two warring personalities finds Melanie’s boyfriend Jared’s alien-resistance cel, and Wanderer falls in love with both Jared and another boy in the camp, the inevitable love polygons begin.

Even though my knee-jerk reaction was to sit Niccol down like an After-School Special and tell him that he could do better, all things considered, The Host might not actually be a bad project for Niccol right now. (His last movie was 2005’s Lord of War, and a Nic Cage movie is not really how you want to start a hiatus, you know?) Apparently he was hand-picked by Meyer, which could be considered a dubious honor, but he might stand a chance of turning out a decent movie, and here’s why.

The Host is, as usual with Meyer’s work, more a series of archetypes than a nuanced story, so Niccol might be able to bring some of his own artistry to the film. He excels at providing low-effects science fiction that both looks good and is genuinely character-centric (the underrated cult classic GATTACA), which is a rare skill that will be well-applied here. And Niccol’s other films have sometimes struggled to find an audience (S1m0ne, I’m looking at you), so he could use a high-profile project to put him back in the pool of go-to science fiction directors. Christopher Nolan can’t do this alone, people!

And frankly, let’s face it, you’d be a fool to turn down a Stephenie Meyer gig. You gotta pay the rent, and better The Host than Eclipse, right?
