Max Irons: 'The Host,' Stephenie Meyer's Post-'Twilight' Alien Novel Adaptation, Finds Male Co-Lead

You might not care about 'The Host' at the moment, but that will likely change after 'Breaking Dawn' shuffles off next November. The alien-infused love-triangle drama is 'Twilight' author Stephenie Meyer's follow-up to the mega YA franchise, and it's casting up with its own versions of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Just days after it was revealed that Jake Abel was a frontrunner for the role of Ian comes word that Max Irons, Jeremy Irons's son, is in the driver's seat for Jared, the boyfriend of lead character Mel (Saoirse Ronan). Now, the question remains: Which one of these guys is the new RPattz? [via Deadline] [Photo: Getty] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
