The Host Vraag

What do u think about Stephenie's choice, for the men of the book?

She gave an interview (to Larry Carroll) and zei whom she would like to see playing Ian, Kyle, Jeb and Jared.

"Larry Carroll had an interview with Stephenie Meyer the auteur of the twilight saga, and this time she talked about The Soul and The Seeker, boeken that will follow The Host; she also talked about the cast that came she thinks could play the part for Jeb, Ian, Kyle and Jared ; so this is what she said:

MTV: Do u plan on writing “Host” sequels?

Meyer: I hope. If I were to continue on with “The Host,” which is a possibility, there are characters and stories that could continue. … If I went ahead with that, it would be two more. … volgende would be “The Soul,” and then “The Seeker.”

MTV: You’ve zei that when u write, u cast actors in the roles in your head. Would u like to see a “Host” movie? Who are your dream stars?

Meyer: I would. … With “Twilight,” I felt the actors needed to be up-and-coming artists that haven’t been recognized yet. … With “The Host,” I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. I’d love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb; he would be amazing. … Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities, and then [I'd love to see] Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay."

So, what do u think about:
Casey Aflleck as Ian
Ben Affleck as Kyle
Matt Damon as Jared and
Robert Redford as Uncle Jeb?

Btw, I'm so against her. Specially about Matt Damon. Robert Redford is the best between those 4, but, still, not the right one.

ugh NO! no flipping way! Stephenie, what is going through your head!? i do not think they would be good at all for the characters. and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck look way too old to play them. and Casey Affleck looks to girlish! he is not at ALL the way i imagined Ian! and Robert Redford, just nuh uh. and for Ian and Kyle, if she wanted one of the Affleck's for the role did she only want the other one cause they are brothers and so are Ian and Kyle so she wanted them to have similarities? ugh, Steph, i love ya, but come to your senses please.

And Casey is soo small, he has NOTHING to do with the Ian that she described

ksteiner posted een jaar geleden

"ugh NO! no flipping way!" -- my thoughts exactly. I think Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are talented actors, but they are so far removed from my mental image of what the characters are like its... like u thought about the cast for The Host right after watching Good Will Hunting... like shopping when you're hungry...

I absolutly hate it. lol. Don't get me wrong, but they look nothing like the characters in the book. You're right the only one that I could imagine is Robert Redford, but the rest of them just don't work. I also saw an interview were she zei she pictured James McAvoy as Ian, and althoughh I love James McAvoy, I think he's a great actor, I can't see him playing that role

posted een jaar geleden

James McAvoy popped into my head after reading the novel, but it was meer about the characters he has portrayed than his looks. I think he could pull off the sweetness and angst of Ian, but he definitely doesn't fit the physical description.

I like James McAvoy, too. He doesn't fit the description. No, I can't agree.

I can see where Stephenie Meyer is coming from. If I think back to their characters in Good Will Hunting, I can see all of them playing Jared, Ian, and Kyle; however, it is 13 years later. They are all entirely too old to look like the characters now. Plus with many of the roles they have had in recent years, I just couldn't imagine them playing the personalities of Jared, Ian, and Kyle.

I can picture Robert Redford as Uncle Jeb, but I'm not sure he could be as crazy as a fox... haha.

But I still can't understand how she zei that they could play them (the host guys) today. It's.. weird.

ksteiner posted een jaar geleden

Yeah, it is odd especially since she is the author. But think about how many people on this fansite suggest actors/actresses who are way too old of barely fit the beschrijving of the characters. Sometimes u get a certain image stuck in your head and u can't be realistic... haha.

nicole62 posted een jaar geleden

Yeah, that's a fact, haha, but still being odd because what she described have almost nothing to do with who she imagined.

I can only agree about Robert Redford, too. I understand her when I think of Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck in Good Will Hunting. They were wonderful there but they don't really match the descriptions. Matt has sorta woman-like lips like Jared's but his other features don't match. They are all old to play these roles now.

Her choices, for Twilight, were better, but strange too.

Ugh, no -- they're all too old! Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen on Smallville) NEEDS to be Jared -- he is EXACTLY how Jared is described in the book!!!

posted een jaar geleden

Yes, I like him, I could see him as Jared, though, he's a little too blond, but that can be fixed easily

murri_gh posted een jaar geleden

I prefer Eric Winter, to play Jared

ksteiner posted een jaar geleden

Yes, me too

well, i know its her book and all, but i just got thru with it, my wife read it to me, and it was frickin awesome, but i sorely disagree with not only steph's pick, but a few others on here

heres my small list, i hope it gets to stephanie:

Jeb - Kris Kristofferson (or alternately Sam Elliot)
Jared - Tom Welling (someone zei the green arrow from smallville, but he doesnt even fit Steph's beschrijving closely)
Ian - Steven Strait
Kyle - Gerard Butler
Melanie/Wanderer - Summer Glau (and after she is re-inserted - Reese Witherspoon)
Doc - Jake Gyllenhaal (or Ed Norton)
Jamie - John Chilleri

posted een jaar geleden

Hm ... I think u should change your Jared (Tom Welling) for your Ian (Steven Strait) is your and your Ian for your Jared, fits better the description. I agree with your Jeb, but Reese and Gerard are too old to play their roles, Jamie has to look like Melanie, because they are siblings, and your Melanie, in my opinion, isn't pretty enough.

ksteiner posted een jaar geleden

I agree with ksteiner, Reese and Gerard are too old, however, I like Jake Gyllenhaal for Doc, I imagined him taller, but he could work :D

hmm, i think Summer is really pretty and could play the duel part rather well, kyle is Ians older brother, and much bigger than Ian, so to have Tom Welling play Ian would mean to find someone bigger that tome welling, who is rather large in case u havent watched smallville lately

Rattlehead posted een jaar geleden

Yes, he is really big I know it, but Stephenie made this image of him. I think Kyle may have 6.3 feet and Ian 6.2, is not a big difference and is easy to make a 6.0 feet seem to be a 6.3 (with boots and filming techniques) so... my choice for Kyle is James Marsden he is 6.1 and seems a lot like Tom. And Summer's vraag is a vraag of taste so I can't argue with you, but I can say that Jared is shorter than Ian, so Tom would be worse as Jared, than as Ian.

ksteiner posted een jaar geleden

oh, when i say big, i mean mass, not height, tom is much larger mass wise than james marsden, maybe switching them tho . . . but toms acting seems limited, i cant see him trying to kill a girl and having the acting be believable. also the melanie/wanda character doesnt seem to be portrayed as gorgeous, and summer's acting on serenity makes me feel that she would be excellent at playing the dual roles keeping the 2 individuals separate. and i will have to retract my reese statement, she is too old now i really inpakken, wrap my brain around it. it nvr really says how much older Kyle is than ian, which is why i thought gerard would be a good take on kyle, plus i can see him trying to kill a girl and making it believable, at the same time being gentle with jodie. i try to think of the actors abilities as well when i am thinking about it is all.

Rattlehead posted een jaar geleden

I wouldn't mind if James interpret Ian and Tom interpret Kyle, but I don't believe they have such a big difference in mass. Anyway .. I think Tom could be a good Ian (and a good Kyle), he has that sweet face and at the same time he can seem really angry, I cannot explain, u have to see it. Summer is a good actress and yes, Melanie is pictured as a beautiful woman (They commentaar something about it in the book). I could see Gerard as Kyle as well, if he were younger, Stephenie zei that Ian is 25 and Kyle is 30. Initially I thought Kyle and Ian were older than they really are. Kyle had 35 for me and Ian was 30, but I was wrong haha. I would like to see a bunch of actors to play these characters but they can not because they are too old, of too high, of too small. Whatever .. It's a bit disappointing and we have to accept it

I think Mel needs to be pretty since two handsome men fall in love with her. Jared asks Ian if he loves her because of her beauty and he antwoorden yes.

kuncuyug posted een jaar geleden

Not to forget that Jared kisses her the moment he sees her.

kuncuyug posted een jaar geleden

Yeah, these are the proofs that Melanie is REALLY pretty

Well, I can see where she is coming from. And I admit the cast to Twilight is great. But- I can't see Matt Damon as Jared. When I was reading the book I saw a Casey type playing Ian sure. But I saw Jensen Ackles playing Jared right off. Thanks to Supernatural we know he can be charming, but has the tough side. Jared is lovable but is hardened. He is practical but loyal. Hello! We know Jensen can so pull this off! Plus, he is good looking. And it describes Jared as beautiful. Matt Damon is not "easy on the eyes" but doesnt come close.
