Duncan, who also wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, Killing Mr. Now, Meyer will produce another movie based on a book written by an author she greatly admires. And let’s not forget that the film based on her other book, The Host, starring Saorse Ronan and directed by Andrew Niccol, is currently shooting. When the book came out, Meyer declared herself a huge fan of both Hale and Jane Austen, and then went on to produce the movie, which will come out some time this year. That is being directed by Jerusha Hess ( Napoleon Dynamite). Meyer actually got a head start on her post- Twilight career last summer when she agreed to produce Austenland, the film adaptation of the Shannon Hale novel about a woman obsessed with the BBC‘s production of Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth). First published in 1974, it’s about a girl who goes to a creepy boarding school and discovers that it’s been conducting experiments on its (only four) students. Stephenie Meyer, along with producing partner Megan Hibbert, has just signed on to option the book Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan. The author of the Twilight saga is not just going to sit back and let one franchise define her whole career.
