The cast of The Host are expected to become huge global superstars, much like the cast of the Twilight movies did. The Host actress Diane Kruger has been talking about the link between the two movies, admitting that she has been hit on by Twilight fans.
Kruger was talking to USA Today at the premiere of The Host, when she explained, "Of course, I knew Twilight was big and all that, but we did a poster signing a couple of days ago here in Los Angeles and thousands of people showed up. I finally realised that this might be a different ball of wax. I got asked out on a date! I got gifts. It was kind of neat."
