Actress Saoirse Ronan (Hanna and The Lovely Bones) has landed the lead role in the upcoming film Host based on the Stephanie Meyer novel. She will play Melanie Stryder, one of the last humans putting up a fight against an alien species called Souls. These parasites invade human bodies, fuse to each person’s consciousness and systematically erase their personalities. Melanie finds herself captured by the Souls and implanted by one called Wanderer, one of the more infamous of the species because she has attached herself to so many “hosts” before. Wanderer intends to use Melanie to give up the location of the remaining humans, but Melanie is relentless in her resistance to Wanderer and refuses to surrender her consciousness. In this struggle the alien apparently becomes overwhelmed by Melanie’s memories and emotions and ends up reconnecting with the girl’s old life. (Deadline and First Showing)
