I spoke to Stephenie Meyer along with Michelle of BellaandEdward.com! Read more at Page to Premiere my main site about page-to-screen adaptations, and be sure to ‘like’ the site on Facebook. All news on ‘The Host’ will be posted over there, plus more to come!

Why is it that female fantasies are such a source of derision and fear? The male species is allowed all manner of violent, creepy, ludicrous and degrading movie tropes, and while we may not embrace them as high art, no one questions them seriously as entertainment, even when sometimes we probably should. (Violent imagery is, after all, associated with violent behavior.) You want to saw someone in half or put their head in a vise? Showcase naked strippers as a fake plot device? Pair a beautiful and successful career woman with a slovenly, unemployed man? Pretend you are Wolverine? Go right ahead. We know you can’t really be serious. But watch a tender wedding night between a virginal, undead superhero and his teenage, human bride, and the scolds come out in force. Are parents worried that their teenage daughter actually wants to be impregnated by a 100-year-old vampire who can crush a headboard with his hands (and perform an emergency C-section with his teeth)?

I was on the red carpet at the premiere of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ and we got a group question about the changes Taylor Lautner’s character Jacob goes through in this movie. Thanks to Michelle of BellaandEdward for being an awesome premiere partner!
