First Look! Saoirse Ronan in "The Host"

She's the woman whose pen gave birth to the love triangle that would become a driving force in the lives of so many teenagers (TWILIGHT!) and now she brings us another story set to grip a generation when the big-screen adaption of The Host hits theatres next March.

But that's a year from now and having you wait, without even a glimpse of the sci-fi/romance tale, is too cruel. 

Thanks to the good people at eOne, we have a Canadian EXCLUSIVE first-look photo of the lovely Saoirse Ronan who plays Melanie Stryder, one of the only rebel humans left after an alien race known as Souls have descended on Earth, inhabiting bodies like a virus and overtaking human thoughts and emotions. 

Ronan's piercing blue peepers easily give off an other-worldly vibe and are well-suited to the adage that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

The Host, directed by Andrew Niccol (In Time, Gattaca) also stars Diane Kruger, Max Irons, Jake Abel, William Hurt and Frances Fisher.
