1. The Soul eyes look awesome. After hearing the Twilight crew complain that the contact lenses were kinda the hardest part about making the films, we were worried about this. For the uninitiated, the book is about people possessed by alien creatures called Souls, which give their hosts' eyes a weird silver halo. Instead of that weird blank stare colored contacts can give actors, these made them just seem creepily serene, as they should.
2. It is PACKED with action. The first scene is just like the book, showing Melanie being chased and jumping into an air shaft. And what we saw ended with a dramatic car/truck/helicopter chase.
3. Max Irons is super hot. Especially when making out with Saoirse Ronan in the rain.
4. Saoirse Ronan, as we suspected, is the perfect person to convey both the distress of invaded host Melanie Stryder and the eerie serenity of invader Wanderer. And the voice of Melanie in her head doesn't make you want to laugh inappropriately.
5. Jake Abel is super hot. Though kind of not when he's trying to strangle Saoirse Ronan, because that would be wrong.

Diane Kruger Discusses 'The Host' with Indiewire
What can you tell me about your role in "The Host?"
So you're done shooting?
It's a book so I play The Seeker, which is sort of...
Villainous?
So you think, but it remains to be seen. But it was a great arc to play, it's a really fun character.
So you're done shooting?
Yes.
How did the production go for you?
It was intense. We finished up in New Mexico with the sandstorms and the nature of it was quite a challenge.
Was it nerve-wracking to embark on a project dreamed up by Stephenie Meyer, knowing that if this hits the same way as "Twilight," you'll be hounded?
Well it's different for me, right, because I'm not the young girl. It was actually great to have her, she was pretty much on set everyday. The challenge, or the good thing about this one is that the other two books are not out yet. So there was much more, at least for me, liberty to create actually my own version of that character. And having her there makes it easy so who knows what's going to happen in the next...
Did she tell you where she envisioned the character going?
In theory, yes, a little bit. Which is helpful, but it's not like I'm not locked in like some of the characters in "Twilight" are.
