PanARMENIAN.Net - Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's upcoming movie The Host has premiered a new trailer, Digital Spy said.

Saoirse Ronan, the Oscar-nominated star of The Lovely Bones and Hanna, leads the cast of the science fiction movie as Melanie Stryder, a teenager who becomes possessed by an alien entity.

The Host centres on humans fighting a battle against extraterrestrials called Souls who invade bodies and wipe their victims' consciousness to erase their personalities.

Stryder forms a bond with her alien soul and becomes wrapped up in her love affair.

Jake Abel and Max Irons feature in the supporting cast alongside Diane Kruger, William Hurt and Frances Fisher. Gattaca and In Time filmmaker Andrew Niccol has written and directed the film.

The Host was first published in 2008 prior to the release of Meyer's final Twilight novel Breaking Dawn. The film adaptation will hit UK and US cinemas on March 29, 2013.
