Stephenie Meyer

The Host is the first adult novel written by Stephenie Meyer, and its about to be turned into a movie written and directed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca.) Meyer reportedly turned down several previous offers on the project, but decided to go with producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz after they made a significant offer and showed a strong vision for the project and a collaborative spirit. Meyer eventually said yes.

The Host is a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species of benevolent parasites that call themselves "Souls." One such soul, the Wanderer, is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder, in an attempt to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth. Or whatever. I don't really understand the plot...

So, some unknown author named Jordan Scott claims that Stephenie Meyer plagiarized her novel that no one has ever read called The Nocturne in parts of the Twilight Series book Breaking Dawn (which I wish was called Breaking Wind because that would be funny.) Even though the people at TwilightLexicon (yes, that's a site) did a copyright search and proved that Forever Dawn (the original name of Breaking Dawn) was copyrighted on Jan 5, 2004 and Scott's book The Nocturne was copywrighted nearly 4 years later on September 19th, 2008, this lame-ass lawsuit exists and a lawyer has actually taken it.

Yahoo News reported that Scott insists the following points are too similar to be anything but copied...

To make your morning just that much more surreal and unfair, Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer is getting her own biography comic. Yes, a comic book about her, not her fiction. This is the fault of a company called Bluewater Productions, and they will release Female Force: Stephenie Meyer right before the new Twilight movie hits theaters on, November 20th, 2009.

It will most likely glamorize the life of the uber-Mormon housewife prior to her fabulous wealth and instill unrealistic expectations in young women that they, too, can get lucky and become rich off of a dumb idea. I hope there are scenes of Meyer in church every Sunday, praying the 'gay' away...
