Remember all those conflicting schedules with Andrew Niccol? Well, The Host just got a new director in Susanna White. This is coming straight from Variety, which is a very reputable source. Variety says that White’s directorial debut was the Nanny McPhee sequel last year, but that is incorrect. She has also directed two of my favorite Masterpiece Theatre miniseries, Bleak House and Jane Eyre.
It is interesting to note that the article categorizes the movie as an indie. I don’t think so. With a large Stephenie Meyer following, this will not be a little project or bring in small numbers at the box office.
Andrew Niccol is still the screenwriter. Nick Wechsler will produce along with Steve Schwartz and Paula Mae Schwartz.
Get excited people! Casting will not be far away.
Thanks to @ashblog89 for alerting me.
