Check out a new batch of on set interviews with The Host producers Stephenie Meyer, Nick Wechsler, and Steve & Paula Mae Schwartz. Some of the videos are being a little difficult and I try to fix them if the problem persists.

Diane Kruger Covers Flare Magazine

Diane Kruger graces the cover of Flare magazine's April issue and inside, Kruger discusses what drew her to The Host and author Stephenie Meyer shares a few "icy" words about the actress.

Stephenie Meyer on Diane Kruger's portrayal of the Seeker:
"Really pleasantly terrifying. Diane just can do this icy thing, but at the same time cover it up with, like, that warm, 'Oh, how are you?'"
Diane Kruger on the Seeker's "emotional turbulance":
"She's so complex. She has that Stepford Wife-y kind of niceness yet there is so much more underlying there: rage and anger."

Below is a video from her Spain stop, including footage from the event and a short interview with Meyer (it is a little difficult to hear under the translation).

She quickly talks about the Twilight phenomenon, as well as the benefit of the Saga's success for The Host, and the road trip that inspired the novel.

Vancouver Fan Frenzy

Stephenie Meyer's latest stop on The Host tour was Chapters in Vancouver and some fans waited in line for 8 hours to meet the author (I was in line for 7 hours at the Coral Gables signing). Check out a video from the event below with fans dicussing what draws them to Meyer's stories.

Stephenie Meyer- 'The Host' Sequel Feels Like "An Overdue Library Book"

After making her way up the east coast, Stephenie Meyer headed to Vancouver for more Host events. While there, Meyer spoke with Georgia Straight about possible sequels, her writing process, and writing for herself. 

Fans of The Host have been waiting patiently for a sequel since the book's release in 2008, and while Stephenie Meyer has confirmed she is indeed working on a sequel, fans will have to wait a little longer before they can crack it open. One of the biggest obstacles the sequel faces is the amount of time Meyer has spent on film sets, including Twilight, The Host, and Austenland, and the projects' promotional tours. At this point, the sequel "feels very overdue...like an over due library book just sitting there racking up fines." Another obstacle Meyer faces is her own writing style.
"I've just been writing The Host novels chronologically, which actually drives me nuts. With the Twilight novels, I did a lot of jumping around in the story, which I think is a little bit easier, so I need to try and break out of my cycle."
As the Twilight series went on, Meyer took on an increasing role in production and serves as a producer on The Host and Austenland, which premiered at Sundance in January, through Fickle Fish Films. With her new role, Meyer notes she had to build her confidence since she is a "shy person at heart." Though fan expectations are a constant presence, it is important for Meyer to write for herself, saying "If I listened to what I was supposed to do, Twilight would not have been the same novel, so I think you just tell the story to yourself until you're really happy with it and then worry about all the nonsense."

Stephenie Meyer Initially Thought Saoirse Ronan Was Too Young to Play Melanie/Wanderer

If you've read The Host (and if you haven't, get started!!), you'll remember the characters of Melanie/Wanda, Jared, and Ian are slightly older than their cinematic counterparts. That being the case, it was a little surprising to hear that, then 17-year-old, Saoirse Ronan would be taking on the lead role. While Stephenie Meyer has nothing but wonderful things to say about Ronan now, she was initially hesitant about the young actress taking on the duel roles of Melanie and Wanderer.
"I said, I think that she's too young. They said, go watch Hanna and then let's talk about it. And I watched Hanna and then I was like, 'Oh, I totally get it. We have to have her.'"
"I'd seen [Saoirse] play very vulnerable roles, so I knew she could do that part of it but I hadn't see her play a warrior. And not only did she play it, she owned it. I saw that and thought, 'Oh my gosh, she can do anything. She's unbelievably talented." 
Cineplex will have their entire interview with Stephenie Meyer available soon.

A Day in the Life of Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer has been hopping from interview to screening to signing in multiple cities for the past week and the craziness has only just begun. The Washington Post takes a look at a day in the life of the successful author, along with her fans and critics.

On the relationship between an author and reader:
"It's always interesting, the relationship between reader and writer. I spend a year working on a novel and another year editing it. They spend one day reading it, and they're ready for more."

On her critics:
"I don't really consider myself much of a writer. I consider myself a storyteller...I can definitely agree with the critics, because I see all the flaws. I just want to say, trust me, guys. I know."
