First clips from Stephenie Meyer’s movie The Host kind of feel like an alien Twilight

Maybe we’re biased because we know Stephenie Meyer wrote the novel source material, but dang it if these new Host clips don’t have a Twilight twang to them.

All the notes are there: a slightly sepia world, completely nonthreatening violence, and a crap load of teen love and introspection. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing — we liked the book, and besides, Saorise Ronan is always captivating. Here’s hoping this Meyer movie can bring a bit more depth to the tween romance. Or at the very best, not punish everyone for having sex.

Here’s the next clip, set before the main character Melanie Stryder is taken over by her alien host.

Update, here’s another!

The Host will premiere on March 29th.
