B-Roll Footage

I posted these a few weeks ago, but took them down until after the movie was released.

Below are six B-Roll videos from The Host, which provide a behind the scenes look at the movie. As always, beware of spoilers (Video IV contains Pet spoilers). These videos reveal a large portion of the movie, so if you wish to go in relatively unspoiled, I would suggest not viewing these until after you see the movie.

Now That You've Seen 'The Host'...Let Me Know What You Think!

Fans of The Host have eagerly awaited the movie's release and it is hard to believe it is finally here! Showtimes begin tonight at 9 and I'm sure some fans are already making their way to the theater. I saw the movie twice last month and again this week, but have not really had the chance to discuss it with many people. I am curious to see how fans and general moviegoers react to the movie and would love to hear your opinions.

Below are a couple starting points, but feel free to discuss whatever you would like. Obviously there will be spoilers in the comments, so read them at your own risk.

Discussion Questions:

1. Did you read The Host prior to seeing the movie?

2. Are you a Stephenie Meyer/ Twilight fan?

3. Overall rating on a 5 star scale?

4. Favorite/least favorite character(s) or actor(s)?

5. If you read the book, how successful do you think the movie is as an adaptation?

6. If you read the book, what changes did you like? Anything left out you would have like to see?

7. If you have not read the book, do you think the movie is successful for non-fans?

8. Were the filmmakers/Saoirse Ronan successful in portraying two separate characters?

9. Comments the costumes, sets, cinematography, score, etc.

10. Would you watch a sequel?

These are just starter questions and you do not have to address all of them in your response. Everyone opinions are valued, so please be respectful of each other and keep your language clean.

The Host- Choose to Listen album is available for download today and includes a remix of Imagine Dragon's "Radioactive," which has been heavily featured in promotions for The Host. The video mostly includes scenes from the various trailers and tv spots, but there are a few new ones, including a moment between Melanie and Jamie.

There are also SPOILERS towards the end of the video, so if you want to remain in the dark, I would suggest not watching this until you see the movie.
