'Twilight' Writer Stephenie Meyer Wants Matt Damon For 'Host' Movie, Discusses Her Rabid Fanbase
'Twilight' Writer Stephenie Meyer Wants Matt Damon For 'Host' Movie, Discusses Her Rabid Fanbase
The first base thing you notice is that Stephenie Meyer answers her possess earpiece. Next is the fact that the "Twilight" writer — wHO has sold millions of books, knocked "Molest Potter" off the bestseller list, and has Hollywood adapting her vampires-in-high-school novels into movies — possesses the sort of really henry Sweet, modest personality that makes you desire to ancestor for her success.
And Meyer's fans feature done exactly that for the 34-year-old homebody mommy, world Health Organization has transformed herself into America's J.K. Rowling. And on May 6, the enormous line you'll see at your local anesthetic Barnes & Nobleman will be the resultant of "The Host," a sci-fi novel that began inspiring fan sites six months ago.
Emerging from her busy docket for a rare schmoose, the affable writer radius exclusively to MTV News program around stepping outside her safety zone, the argument all over her film cameo, and her pipe dream of snatching Charlize Theron's body.
MTV: Give us a synopsis, if you could, of "The Host."
Stephenie Meyer: Well, one of my dearie peeves is doing a outline, because I work best in long explanations — and afterward written material a 600-page book, it's kind of hard. Only basically, the easiest way for citizenry to arrest it in a nutshell is that it's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," if the aliens had won. That gives you a sense of the horror, only these body snatchers are so sort and so good, and the worldly concern is such a good station when they're in charge, it makes it hard to take hold their colonizing against them. Then there's the main [story] — that people don't pass on up even later on [their bodies] have been presumption away as a host — and thither ar two entities with one body to portion between them.
MTV: Your name is Stephenie Meyer, and your main character's name is Melanie Stryder. Should we be reading something into that?
Meyer: No, that wasn't on aim. With name calling, for homo characters that aren't century age old, I lean to take care for citizenry around me. Melanie is one of my cousins, and Stryder is actually somebody I knew in high school.
MTV: Ar the "Twilight" names people you know?
Meyer: Or so of them. Jacob [Black], I didn't name him after my brother, but I do feature a brother named Jacob, and then my other siblings were touchy around that. So whole my siblings' name calling got in in that respect. ... A couple of ex-boyfriends as well have their last or outset name calling tucked in on that point.
MTV: Your fans live around how "Twilight" started with a dream you had in 2003. Did you aspiration "The Host" as well?
Meyer: No. I wish I had a wagerer story for how I came up with it, because I don't. ... I was on this truly horrible, drilling drive from Phoenix to Salt Lake Urban center, scarcely abandon and ugliness, and my kids were in the back observation a moving-picture show. I was all on my have and bored out of my mind. I tend to secern myself stories in those situations, and I precisely caught myself in the middle of this idea about two people share-out a body, both in love with the same guy.
MTV: Do you design on written material "Host" sequels?
Meyer: I hope. If I were to continue on with "The Host," which is a possibility, in that respect are characters and stories that could cover. ... If I went ahead with that, it would be deuce more. ... Next would be "The Somebody," and then "The Searcher."
MTV: Now, I experience to excuse if I did, in fact, corrupt news on your cameo in the "Twilight" moving picture.
Meyer: You didn't, no, not at altogether. It's funny story, I didn't rattling design on mentioning it. I'm variety of shy in about ways, and I scarce figured I'd let it slide, and if the great unwashed started to mention it, whatever. But somehow, some masses got it in their heads that I was provision this big surprise divine revelation, which I wasn't.
MTV: That's a relief. I thought I might give to go into hiding.
Meyer: [The fanbase] is jolly quick-tempered sometimes. [Laughs.] I noticed that when we were casting the motion picture. Masses would just go, "I hatred him! What make they done? It's totally over!" And then citizenry would warm up [to the actors] in around 30 seconds and give them a probability. I'm surely you ar already forgiven.
MTV: It seems for every angry fan, there's a nice fan. Someone posted today on the Movies Blog that "Larry is made of awesome."
Meyer: I would experience to gibe with that. [Laughs.] I'm having a tremendous time indication totally of your articles.
MTV: Well there's a freshly key signature for my electronic mail! "Stephenie Meyer says Larry is made of awesome."
Meyer: [Laughs.] You butt use that.
MTV: Were you nervous delivering the "vegetarian plate" line in your acting debut?
Meyer: I in reality didn't say anything. [Managing director] Catherine of Aragon [Hardwicke] sort of gave that impression in your interview, just they asked me to do a air and I said, "I can't do that." How horrible would it be if there was this import where I'm so horrible and it just takes everybody come out of the present moment, and completely of the suspended skepticism is gone, and everyone's like, "Thigh-slapper, she sucked."
MTV: So you don't orderliness the vegetarian plate?
Meyer: I ostensibly did, antecedently in the scene. I am delivered a vegetarian scale.
MTV: And is this dining compartment in the Port Angeles setting?
Meyer: No, this is in Forks [Booker T. Washington, where the "Twilight" books are based]. Charlie and Bella are come out of the closet for dinner.
MTV: We're wrapping up our review on an official identify for the "Twilight" fanbase. Do you have a predilection?
Meyer: I've been career them Twilighters for a spell, just I thought Twi-Hards was hilarious. Mike Welsh [world Health Organization plays Mike Isaac Newton in "Twilight"] came up with that, and I opinion that was just now adorable. It doesn't bother me either way.
MTV: Earlier the "Host" fans invent their cite, do you have got any suggestions?
Meyer: Oh, I hadn't even thinking about that.
MTV: Hosters?
Meyer: Hosters. [Laughs.] It depends on wHO you're rooting for, because I've had roughly people world Health Organization ar really pro-souls. Soul Fans perhaps?
MTV: You've said that when you drop a line, you mold actors in the roles in your head. Would you like to see a "Host" movie? World Health Organization are your dream stars?
Meyer: I would. ... With "Twilight," I felt the actors needed to be up-and-coming artists that haven't been recognized hitherto. ... With "The Server," I think the actors could be really big names. That would be chill. I'd love to go steady Henry M. Robert Charles Robert Redford order on a whiskers and be Jeb; he would be amazing. ... Lusterlessness Damon has roughly very Jared-esque qualities, and then [I'd love to escort] Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Guess the interplay.
MTV: If you could occupy anyone's soundbox, à la "The Host," world Health Organization would it be?
Meyer: I'd really like having a couple days of beingness a rock lead, although I'd kinda be a computer backup — like perhaps the drummer for Muse. ... It would too be playfulness to be gorgeous, care be Charlize Theron, merely for a couple of days.
MTV: Report what it's like to be blessed with that moment of inhalation, when you take a newly idea that you absolutely get to write down.
Meyer: Well, it's like you convey this meat of the story, with roughly actually great points that could go many different slipway. It's like the explosion of a centre of popcorn. You've got this little thing with so very much potential drop ... and it expands in front of you.
MTV: Have you ever so had a kernel pop and then turn out to be a stale objet d'art of popcorn that tastes like it's been sitting on a theatre of operations flooring for iI weeks?
Meyer: [Laughs.] I get depart i book.
MTV: You get?
Meyer: Yea. The tarradiddle was rattling strait, it was in all likelihood somewhat good, leave off it was a chick-lit level. It was release to get funny story, just I just got genuinely bored with it. It was completely mankind, and that doesn't look to be sufficiency for me. I motive a little chemical element of fantasy to defecate it worth my interest.
MTV: Did you have a list for it?
Meyer: No.
MTV: And is it now thrown away forever?
Meyer: It's stuck in the reckoner. Nothing's ever so thrown aside.
Retard out everything we've got on "Twilight."
