'The Host' Two Day Madness

The past two days were crazy for me, filled with two screenings of The Host, a book signing, and miles and miles of driving. 

The Host madness kicked off Monday morning with a 10am screening of the movie in Orlando. The group was relatively small, so they crammed us in one of the smallest theaters for the next two hours. I was very nervous to see the movie since I would be driving to Miami to see it again that night. What if I didn’t like it? Well, there was no problem there since I really enjoyed the movie. Sure, there were changes and shortcuts taken, but for such a large and mostly internal book, they did a great job bringing it to the screen (I will post a review closer to the release date). The audience seemed to enjoy the movie, laughing at the right moments and audible gasps at others. 

From there, I hopped onto the Turnpike and headed south to Miami (yes, the Will Smith song played in my head part of the way). I was able to reserve a seat for the Miami screening, which was a lifesaver since I was stuck in traffic from the hotel to the theater. The Orlando audience seemed into the movie, but the Miami audience was on another level. There were a lot of hearty laughs and some of the dialogue was lost amongst the laughter and chatter of the audience. There were also plenty of sighs and squeals for Max Irons and Jake Abel when they delivered their swoon worthy lines. 

When the movie ended, the stars were brought into the theater one by one, starting with Jake Abel, then Max Irons, and the biggest star of the lot, Stephenie Meyer. The boys looked dashing and were quite charming with the crowd (Check out what Jake Abel did to make the audience crack up). 

Most of the questions went to Stephenie, who talked about working with Andrew Niccol, what is was like writing The Host, and Twilight comparisons. The boys also fielded some questions, including working with Saoirse Ronan and their favorite scenes to shoot. The Q&A was short, lasting about 15 minutes, and the three were whisked away before the crowd could rush after them (You can read the transcript here). I may be the only one, but I got a kick out of Beautiful Creatures with Jeremy Irons playing at the same time in the neighboring theater.

Jake Abel's Inappropriate Microphone Tap

UPDATE: Check out the entire Q&A here.

I will hopefully have my video of the Miami Q&A up soon, but for now I leave you with this hilarious bit in which Jake Abel inappropriately taps Max Irons' microphone.

Exclusive: Q&A with Jake Abel, Max Irons & Stephenie Meyer from the Miami Screening of 'The Host'

I was lucky enough to attend the screening of The Host in Miami on Monday and even luckier that I was allowed to film the Q&A that followed the movie. Jake Abel, Max Irons, and Stephenie Meyer talked about their favorite scenes to shoot, covering up accents, and why the villains are not all that bad. There are some spoilers in the answers that I was asked to leave out, but I hope to share the answers with you once the movie is released. Check out the full transcript after the break.
