i do understand your point.... i was really dissapointed when i saw the twilight movies after reading the books.... it wasn't loyal to the book at all!! however, i do want to see this book becoming a movie because there are so many parts that are difficult to picture in your mind so it would be great to see how they turn the story into a movie... plus twilight was an independet movie with a really low budget that had melissa rosenberg as the screenwriter (awful screenplay!!) and with the host they have andrew niccol who did a great job with gattaca and i guess they have a little more budget because it's not an indepent movie plus stephenie is working really close to niccol supervising the screenplay so i guess (i hope) it will be waaaaaaay better than twilight!!

I understand what you mean. I no longer like the Twilight fandom due to the movies. It's not that the movies are horrible (although I don't love them), it's that them becoming movies changed the culture in the fandom. I really don't want that to happen with The Host.

I don't mind it becoming a movie as long as they stick the the book and don't kill it like has happened with so many other great books.
I hope they don't go too Sci-Fi with the movie and heaps of Special Effects.
Also if it hadn't been for the Twilight Movies, I probably wouldn't have read the books so I am grateful for the movies and I think they are getting better as they go along. I think Stephenie has learnt to have more input now and so she will keep The Host movie closer to the book (hopefully)

I do understand although I'm excited about the movie (and I think Twilight movies are better than books, but that's just me).
Sometimes you just... don't want something to be visualised just to save your own vision. Like Anja said - you don't have to watch the movie. But I get that on the Internet there would be so much information, so many pictures of the cast and pix from the movie u'll probably see them anyway. Hope it won't destroy your vision.
Take care!

The solution to your problem is to simply not watch the movie.

Uhm I think the thing is about the whole vision. Not only what happens in The host but also characters. I think Yadiie also doesn't want to lose her vision of every character. Bet most of us will have official Jared, Ian or Wanda in our avatars? And we'll probably discuss every detail on the board, every change the director is going to do etc. It's not that simple. Of course Yadiie can just not go into the cinema but she'll see a glimpse (oh, more than just a glimpse!) of the movie anyway.

Glad to read that. I know what you mean although I like the idea of The host as a movie. Strange... sometimes I know the feelings of those who think differently. :)
