The Host prequel? Jan. 2, 2008
Source: Twitch   by: Dave Davis

Calling the recent Korean flick THE HOST a masterpiece of a monster movie might be considered an overstatement by some, but let's just say CLOVERFIELD definitely has its work cut out for itself.

A follow-up to director Bong Joon-ho's brilliant creature feature/oddball family drama has been mentioned over the past few months, though it'll be made without the man himself (although he's supposedly involved with the American remake). Originally it was thought to be a simple sequel, but now comes word that it'll take place before the GWOEMUL rampages along the Han River.

The new movie is being written by Korean comic artist Kang Full, will be set three years before THE HOST, involves the excavation of an ancient waterway called the Cheonggye Stream, and will feature multiple beasts. No director or cast has been announced, but the producers are planning a theatrical release for the film, set to seek Asian cuisine some time in 2009.

Extra Tidbit: A company called The Orphanage was one of the FX teams on THE HOST. They're currently at work on IRON MAN, THE SPIRIT and John Woo's RED CLIFF.

The Host is every inch a masterpiece in the realm of monster movies, though King Kong is still probably the reigning master there.

Having said that, I think that while a sequel could be done well, I don't understand where there could be room for a prequel in a world that seemed appropriately baffled by the appearance of a giant man-eating prawn. You'd think if anything like this happened before, they would've mentioned it somewhere during the first film.

HOST THIS !!
you guys got me, its not even april 1st yet...the host a "masterpiece"? to funny...what a piece of carp, er, i mean crap that was.

an overhyped waste of celluloid. seriously, theres something fishy here about a giant codfish terrorising some screwed up family, and an allegory about government it is not, how high must you be exactly to enjoy this flick?

i went to see this at a theatre (im so sorry to myself) with a friend (im so sorry for him also) that enjoys cinema, and we expected a korean masterpiece slash horror/comedy of epic proportion...and got a dud of a flick, boring,cheesy and awful.

scary? not in the least. funny? i think i laughed once. enjoyment factor? high, upon leaving this crap.

dont waste your hard earned cash on this whale of a mess. and a "sea"quel? makes me shiver with dread.

MASTERPIECE
"The Host" isn't just a monster movie masterpiece, it's a masterpiece. A brilliant monster movie, but also political allegory, social comment, and human drama. But I'm not too high on exploiting the success of the film for sequels...

I (American) saw The Host with 3 Koreans and a Canadian. The Canadian and I didn't really care for it all that much and thought it was VERY over rated. The Koreans loved it. Go Figure.

HMM...
I'm looking forward to the prequel, not so much for the American remake...
