New The Host Poster Debuts

The brand new poster for Open Road Films’ The Host, the alien invasion drama/romance starring Saoirse Ronan, Jake Abel, Max Irons, William Hurt, and Diane Kruger, has arrived courtesy of Fandango. And, obviously, the new poster was timed to get Twilight fans thinking about author Stephenie Meyer’s The Host as they prepare to watch the final film of the Twilight series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, in theaters. The new poster doesn’t really show off anything from the movie and it’s pretty generic, actually, with just the three main stars standing around.
 
The Host arrives in theaters on March 29, 2013.

The Plot:
 
The Host is a story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed. When Melanie (Saoirse Ronan), one of the few remaining “wild” humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading “soul” who has been given Melanie’s body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories.
 
But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn’t expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
 
When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
