Max Irons (son of Jeremy) stars in the sci-fi romance The Host based on the bestselling novel by Stephenie Meyer. Meyer takes a break from the sparkling vampire world to venture into alien territory with The Host, a cross-species (she’s an alien, he’s a human) love story. And in this interview courtesy of Open Road Films, Irons discusses auditioning for the part, working with fellow cast members Jake Abel, Saoirse Ronan, and William Hurt, and the Stephenie Meyer phenomenon.
The Plot:
The Host is a love story set in the future, where earth is occupied by a species who erase the minds of their human hosts, leaving their bodies intact. Melanie Stryder (Ronan) is one of the last surviving humans who fights back, risking her life for the people she cares about most—Jared (Irons), Ian (Abel), her brother Jamie (Chandler Canterbury), and her Uncle Jeb (Hurt)—proving that love can conquer all.
The Host opens in theaters on March 29, 2013.
