Stephenie Meyer's "Eventful" Year
"It feels like a really eventful year. A lot of really big things happened this year," Meyer told MTV News recently. "The movie coming out is a big deal."
And although we've been focused on all things "Twilight," we've also been keeping close tabs on Meyer's next book-to-movie adaptation "The Host," the filming of which Meyer said was a personal highlight for 2012.
"When we were filming 'The Host,' we had a lot of really exciting days," she recalled. "I don't know if I could pick one [favorite], but probably a day on set this spring."

New MTV Interview with Saoirse Ronan
MTV will debut the new Host trailer online tomorrow morning, but for now, check out their latest interview with star Saoirse Ronan. When MTV's Josh Horowitz last spoke with Ronan at TIFF, she was on her way to see a cut of the film. In the latest interview, the pair discuss the cut, working with William Hurt, and upcoming projects.
MTV News: Saoirse, when I last saw you in Toronto you were about to see an early cut of "The Host" for the first time. Are you happy with what you saw?
Saoirse Ronan: I am. It's great to just see it all put together and see how it looks and how certain scenes turning out. There are some nice moments in there. I loved working with everyone on it but I really loved working with William Hurt just because he was a great leader real for all of us. He raised questions that some of us might not have if he wasn't there so it was lovely to see the scenes that we did together.
MTV: Is the structure of the film still similar to the book? Are the flashbacks still intact?
Ronan: In the cut I saw there were still quite a few flashbacks which is good because it gives you a chance to see the relationship between Melanie and Jared.

New MTV Rough Cut with Saoirse Ronan
Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog
An admitted fan of Meyer's other supernatural saga, "Twilight," Ronan recalled being blown away by the story of Earthling Melanie and the alien named Wanda who inhabits her.
"I had heard that 'The Host' was being made into a film and read the script and thought the concept was so incredible, just the idea of aliens sort of inhabiting Earth to perfect it," Ronan said. "That this was their goal — not to destroy it or really take it over, but just to perfect things and get rid of any negative emotion — was really intriguing to me, so then I read the book as well, and that was fantastic. It's huge. It's a big book."
At 600-plus pages, Meyer spared little detail bringing her post-apocalyptic tale to life, and according to Ronan, writer/director Andrew Niccol did right by the source material in his adapted script.
"He's obviously a fantastic writer," Ronan enthused. "That's his strong point: to do mind-blowing concepts like that. He's very good at that sci-fi type of drama. We've all said that how he was able to condense 600-plus pages into a 120-page script is kind of amazing."
With an impressive script to work from, Ronan's main challenge was portraying two separate characters in a single body.
"I'm viewing Melanie as a completely different character to Wanda, because they are. They are two separate young women," Ronan explained. "One happens to be an alien, and they're very different from each other. Melanie is a very strong, tough cookie — she's had to be, really. She's had to be tough in order to survive and take care of her younger brother. They've been on the run together for a very long time, and that's all taken away from her. It's very tough on Melanie."
And despite the usual portrayal of aliens as unsympathetic interlopers, Ronan had to try hard not to sympathize with Wanda.
"Wanda, it's an interesting thing to try and get rid of any negative emotion, to not feel any anger, because there are some points in the film where you think poor Wanda is being punished for certain things and being put through an awful lot."
