I previously wrote a post about a casting call over a year ago. Another casting call has been posted by a different website in August. I want everyone to take the source with a grain of salt since I cannot vouch for its validity. Considering the film is starting to film in January 2012, roles may have already been cast. If I hear anything about casting extras, be sure that I will pass the news along.
“The Host”, a major upcoming movie from the writer of the Twilight novels, is now casting co-starring roles for production which begins in January 2012.
From best-selling author Stephenie Meyer, this movie will be a science-fiction thriller about an alien soul who takes over the body of a young woman named Melanie Stryder in order to find the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth.
“The Host” will star Saoirse Ronan. The movie has been written by Stephenie Meyer, and it will be directed by Andrew Niccol.
The movie is being produced by Marc Butan, Stephanie Meyer, Bill Johnson, Nick Wechsler, and Paula Mae Schwartz for Nick Wechsler Productions and Open Road Films.

CO-STARRING ROLE
Sharon, Caucasian, 20s. Sharon is a brash and confident young woman who is hiding out with the other human rebels in an underground cave dwelling in Arizona. She has a good rapport with most of the other rebels because she always says what’s on her mind. Kyle and Jared never try to push her around because they know she can fight back. Sharon wants to destroy Wanda at first but gradually grows more comfortable with her. Sharon later forms a romantic relationship with Doc.
The Seeker (aka “Lacey”), any ethnicity, 20s – 30s. The Seeker is one of the Souls who are invading human bodies. She is prickly and judgemental, though most of her fellow Souls are calm and soothing. The Seeker is disgruntled because she has not been able to completely get rid of the previous soul occupant of the human body she has taken over. Melanie and Wanda despise her at first when The Seeker makes a mean-spirited comment to them. PRINCIPLE ROLE
Maggie, Caucasian or mixed ethnicity, 40s – 50s. Maggie is a strong-willed, rigid, and tough woman who is the younger sister of Uncle Jeb. She strongly resents the invading souls on Earth—-especially Wanda. Maggie wishes that Kyle and Ian had been successful in their attempt to kill Wanda. Though her anger toward Wanda eventually subsides, Maggie always maintains a chip on her shoulder toward her. PRINCIPLE ROLE
MALES
Ian O’Shea, Caucasian, 18 – Mid 20s. Ian O’Shea is a clean-cut, charming, earnest, kind-hearted yet physically strong young man who falls in love with an alien soul named Wanda. Ian has a temperamental side to his personality and becomes furious when Wanda tries to leave him for Jared. But Ian also exudes a vulnerable and almost innocent side that he keeps hidden. He has vivid nightmares when he sleeps, and it is very difficult to awaken him from slumber. CO-STARRING ROLE
Jared Howe, any ethnicity, 20s – 30s. Jared is an adventurous, irreverent, cocky, and intelligent guy who is fighting for the rebel humans left on Earth.

Despite his dedication, Eustace has developed a drinking problem as he tries to cope with the stress of his position. PRINCPLE ROLE
Uncle Jeb, Caucasian or mixed ethnicity, 40s – 50s. Uncle Jeb is an odd, semi-paranoid, emotionally unbalanced and disheveled middle-aged man who was the first to believe that Earth was being taken over by alien souls.
