Before Twilight my only thought about Kristen Stewart was “That girl who got to kiss Adam Brody.” (Ironically my only thought about her 4 years later is “That girl who got to kiss Robert Pattinson.We'll just start with the serious Oscar buzz she's receiving for her portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer. The Host has well-known actors associated with it– Twilight made actors house-hold names, but many weren’t known at all before. While Twilight focuses on the romance between ROBST– err Bella and Edward, The Host is a story about survival, mixed in with a little romance (and those hot guys. I get that- this movie is VERY different from that vampire flick. It was clear in the way Stephenie responded that it bothers her that The Host has had some of the negative Twilight feedback trickle over to it. But I totally get defensive of this one & very mother hen on it!
And then on the other side of it– would it have gotten made if Twilight hadn’t been a big deal? Probably not so I just have to take the good with the bad. And it is so not fair to judge this movie. and then you got Andrew Niccol and his amazing, beautiful vision. William freakin’ Hurt comes in & owns this movie. This kid is TOTALLY innocent.Īnd these performances these actors gave us– the caliber that we have going on here. Because this kid hasn’t done anything wrong. And I feel like the negative is coming into play a lot here & it makes me really angry- like when someone picks on your kid at school. For all the good there was equal negative. Twilight has a passionate following & also a passionate hatred attached to it. It’s hard because it’s such a different book for me. Do you feel an extra protection of The Host that you might not have felt had Twilight not existed first? That’s Normal: We were wondering if you find yourself protective or defensive of The Host when the movie and the fandom and all the expectations are going to be compared to Twilight.
