LOS ANGELES — Author Stephanie Meyer is hoping her vampire fans will be willing to step into a new world and embrace aliens as the first film of her new book series, “The Host”, hits the big screens.



Fans of the successful “Twilight Saga” box office franchise have been eagerly anticipating Meyer’s next offering on the big screen with “The Host” out in US theaters on March 29.



But Meyer, speaking at the film’s red carpet premiere in Los Angeles, said the new film may not be what fans of the popular vampire series expect from her.



“If (fans) go into it wanting a repeat of “Twilight” they probably will not be thrilled, because it is not. It is a very different kind of story,” Meyer told Reuters TV. “I think if they are willing to go on a new ride with me and try out something a little different than I think they will really like it.” — Reuters
