THE HOST VISITS AMERICA

Magnolia Pictures has picked up the US rights to Bong Joon-Ho's THE HOST, which has turned out to be the must-see film at Cannes this year. They've announced that they plan on releasing it in late 2006, which is great news. Let's hope they stay committed to a 2006 release. If they do release it in late 2006 it should coincide pretty closely with the movie's Korean release, which is scheduled for later this year as well.

Also, you can see some monster footage from the movie over here on Twitch and it's pretty impressive stuff. It's edited together from a special about the movie so when you see a jumpy cut it's not the movies fault.
