According to a report by Deadline , Diane Kruger is in negotiations to join the movie adaptation of Stephenie Twilight Meyer's non- Twilight novel The Host .
She'll play The Seeker, a member of 'the souls' who have invaded Earth and taken control of the planet's inhabiting humans. She's none-too-happy that rebel human Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) is proving resistant to the influence of her assigned parasitic 'soul'.
Kruger joins Ronan, William Hurt and Max Irons in the movie, which will be written and directed by Andrew Niccol ( Gattaca - yay! In Time - not so much…)
Former model Kruger has thus far struck a nice balance between European fare and Hollywood blockbusters. She plays Marie Antoinette in Farewell, My Queen , which is scheduled to open the Berlin Film Festival in February.
The Host will open on 29 March 2013.
