Description: Your source for news on Stephenie Meyer's "The Host" coming to the big screen.
Recently at the premiere for Stephenie Meyer-produced film, Austenland , she comments on the dismal box office returns and poor reviews that The Host received. This is the first time that we have really heard anything from anyone involved in the film about how bad it did.
“The sad thing is The Host got punished for Twilight ,” says Meyer. “There was such a stigma from Twilight. And because I had done The Host , it got trashed in the reviews. We got kicked around for Twilight .”
“The reviews are not reflective of the film itself,” she adds of The Host.
