Get ready to see A LOT of Max Irons in the coming months…..Yay!!
“Macy’s has snagged English actor Max Irons to be the new face of its INC men’s collection. Irons, who will play the leading male role of Jared in “The Host,” a film adaptation of “Twilight” author Stephanie Meyer’s science fiction novel, in 2013, will appear in the brand’s spring 2012 men’s campaign. It will be shot by Walter Chin and styled by Bill Mullen. A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Irons is the son of Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons, and the grandson of Cyril Cusack. In addition to still images, the INC campaign will include a short video of the actor discussing his personal style and self-expression.”
Holy Uncle Jeb!! He is FANTASTIC! I’ve got to admit, he isn’t how I imagined, but he is better. That’s a first for me, having lived through all these book-to-movie adaptations
Oscar-winning actor William Hurt is in talks to join Andrew Niccol’s film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s sci-fi novel The Host, according to a source close to the production. Hurt would play the pivotal role of Jeb, eccentric uncle to Saoirse Ronan’s Melanie Stryder, whose brain is hijacked by the soul of an alien being known as Wanderer. Jeb is one of the grizzled leaders of the human survivalists fighting the alien invasion.”
This is the same interview I previously posted, but I wanted to make sure the transcript was available for both topics.
PS PLEAAAASSSEE do NOT take 10 years to write the sequels!!!! *poundsdesk*
“Meyer says, “I planned The Host as a trilogy. I have pieces of the other ones written, but I’ve been making a lot of movies this year so it hasn’t been a great year for writing.” Hopefully we’ll be getting the next two novels in ‘The Host’ trilogy soon.”
This interview was taken, again, at the ‘Breaking Dawn Part 1′ Premiere in London. Stephenie Meyer is flipping amazing…how does she keep it all together? Love her. I will say it was also nice to know that she doubted Saoirse’s age as well. And since she has seen all of the auditioning/testing for the film, we have to trust her on this one.
” [Meyer] says that she was unsure at first, saying “Melanie is older than that, I don’t know.” However, now she’s totally sold. “She’s so amazing. I can’t imagine anyone else bringing it to life,” says Meyer. Like many of us, she was worried about the age difference from the novel at first, but now trusts Saoirse Ronan with the demanding role. “
Since we’re chillin’ waiting for more ‘The Host’ Movie news….I thought I’d share a little Max Irons love. Since I’m a FREAKISHLY HUGE fan of the guy, I knew about this video. It’s an oldie but a goodie. Enjoy!
