YES!! STEPHENIE MEYER UPDATED “THE HOST” MOVIE PAGE!!

 Stephenie Meyer revealed that filming for her “The Host” movie was to begin Monday, February 13, 2012, (as in yesterday) which is just so wonderful to hear. She proudly confirmed and announced that Frances Fisher was cast as Maggie, and provided the Link for the Cast on IMDB. It also appears that she plans on returning home, and return to her computer, and writing again in May.

Here’s What Stephenie had to say:

I will have some very exciting news to share about upcoming chance for you to get involved with The Host. Stay tuned!

The Host begins filming this coming Monday the thirteenth, and I am so excited. It’s somewhat of a dream to have the creator and director of my favorite sci-fi film (Gattaca) helming this movie. I love the script he’s written, I love his beautiful vision, and I love working with him.

I also can’t say strongly enough how thrilled I am with our cast. The talent involved is unbelievable. We’ve been so blessed/lucky/kissed-by-fate all throughout the casting process. Wanda/Melanie is a very complicated role, and for a long time one of our biggest worries in the producer camp was finding an actress who could bring those two distinct personalities to life. And then Saoirse came along and we all quit worrying. If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching her act, I highly recommend her recent release, Hanna. Actually, watch her in anything she’s done and you’ll see what I mean. After Saoirse joined us, amazing actor after amazing actor signed on until none of us could believe our good fortune. Just the other day I got to meet William Hurt (!!) in full Jeb beard and hair, and it kind of choked me up. He looks amazing—they all look amazing!—and I can’t wait to see them in action next week.

Another incredible addition to our cast—one which I believe I’m the first to announce—Maggie will be played by the wonderful Frances Fisher. Welcome, Frances, I couldn’t be happier that you’ve chosen to join us!

I’m very excited to see this transformation. Plus, while I’m LOVING ALL OF STEPHENIE”S HARD WORK on her filming projects these few years, I’ll be glad when she gets back to writing like she desires to in May. I could use more of her wonderful work, and I really miss her, I need more of her writing. I’ve read everything now, so personally I JUST NEED MORE.
