First Teaser Trailer for the Film Adaptation of The Host by Stephenie Meyer

It doesn't open in theaters for more than a year, but the first teaser trailer for the film adaptation of the futuristic thriller The Host by Stephenie Meyer has been released. (We're thinking the studio wants to divert a little attention away from The Hunger Games, which opens tomorrow.)

In the book, the earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie Stryder's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. But she refuses to fade away.

As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love.

Starring Saoirse Ronan as Melanie and Diane Kruger as Wanderer, the film is directed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) from his own adapted screenplay. It opens in theaters March 29th, 2013.

There really isn't much to this trailer, but here it is:
