New On Set Interviews with the Cast

Check out new on set interviews with the cast & producers of The Host. Interviews with the cast include Saoirse Ronan, Max Iron, Jake Abel, Boyd Holbrook, William Hurt, and Chandler Canterbury. I had some difficulty watching the second Ronan and William Hurt videos. I will try to fix them if the problem persists.
*I have not watched all the interviews, so I cannot comment on spoilers.*

Max Irons & Jake Abel Talk 'The Host' with Hit Zone

Hit Zone had the opportunity to speak to Max Irons and Jake Abel last Friday about The Host and gave a very convincing exchange on why fans should see the movie.

*Spoiler Alert! Irons' answer to "What do you think is the most powerful scene that conveys the message of the whole movie?" contains a pretty big spoiler for the movie (this scene does not appear in the book).*

If you could be the Host in someone else's body that is living today, who would it be?
Max: J-Ja
Jake: Max Irons. There I beast you to it, can't say me now.
Max: I wasn't going to say Jake! I was gonna say Jay-Z. I don't know why, he's cool, I like him. We've got no one like him in England.
Jake: Uhh Blue Ivy, you'd make a good dad. I'd either grow up being super talented or super useless because my expectations are so high. Think about it, you ever think about it? That kid has got a lot...

Did you act out the characters as they were in the book or did you put your own spin on them?
Max: I read the book before. What I think is best to do is take what you want and what helps you from the book and then the script becomes your bible. You've all kinda got to be on the same page because there were scenes and there were characters and moments that were lost, and scenes and moments and characters that were kept and focused on. So I think the script has to be your thing.
Jake: I think Andrew Niccol (the director of the movie), I think he sort of took the strongest points, of each person and boiled them down. In the end, I think the movie is a bit stronger, which I like. But still as sensitive.

Why should people see the movie, according to you?
Max: There's a bit of something for everyone. There's explosions, there's kissing.
Jake: Kissing in the rain!
Max: There's fighting!
Jake: There's fighting, there's explosions, there's chrome...
Max: There's dancing!
Jake: There's chrome helicopters...
Max: There's sexy moments!
Jake: There's sexy moments which are also dirty because we live in a cave! There's danger!
Max: Jake Abel
Jake: Max Irons...The Host, March 29th.

Check out the entire interview here and another reminder, there are spoilers!

New Interview with Max Irons & Jake Abel

Shakefire.com had the opportunity to interview Max Irons and Jake Abel while they were in Atlanta promoting The Host. The results are pretty cute and funny. Check out excerpts from the interview below and read the entire interview here. The boys even discuss a scene that did not make it into the final film.

Shakefire: Do you think that director & screenwriter Andrew Niccol stays true to the book?

Max Irons: Absolutely. Which so often isn't the case. Before we started shooting we had two weeks of rehearsal which we were all involved in; Stephenie was involved in, Andrew was involved in. It was very collaborative and we discussed what we thought was important and the essence of certain scenes were still maintained, which I think is very unusual. So I hope, what I heart from people who've seen it, the essence of the book is still very there.

Jake Abel: Even Stephenie herself said that she feels Andrew almost elevated it at times. The aesthetic of the film, how the Seekers look, and how the people dress and the world and the location of Shiprock, where our cave is. She said al of these things were much more cinematic than even she envisioned. So, not only did he take the best parts of the book and condense it down into a hundred odd pages, but he also visually brought it to life.

Shakefire: Were you surprised by any of the post-production special effects they put in the film?

Jake Abel: It's funny, for it being a sic-fi film, much like Gattaca, there's very little CGI. Which is really great. It's all pretty functional and physical stuff except for seeing the Souls themselves. The mirrors, I would've believed that they were there. We actually feared that the exterior of our cave in the desert would come off  as CGI because it was so breathtaking in person that it looks like the filmmakers themselves created this cool looking mountain and went, "There ya go!" So that was our fear, "This is too beautiful to be real." But yeah, besides the eyes being enhanced just a touch. Not much else, which is really great. it really keeps you in the story, in that world. There's no laser guns and stuff, just real guns. People get shot.
