If Only This Were a Teaser for 'The Host 2'!
If, like me, you were awake in the wee hours of the morning, sifting through movie news, you might have spotted the above video, courtesy of JoBlo/Arrow in the Head. Pre-update, it was said to be a teaser for The Host 2 -- and a particularly awesome teaser at that. Unfortunately, the site has since updated the news piece, and the clip isn't actually a teaser, but rather a French advertisement for an electric company.
It's a bummer that this isn't actually the teaser, because it really zapped right into my huge fangirl love of the film, which had a great balance of comedic, total weirdness, chills, and surprises, all set on a giant killer tadpole. The ad seemed like the perfect way to introduce #2 -- the big creature seemed to have taken a long journey out of city limits, heading for the nice, peaceful countryside.
According to Arrow, the second installment will be a prequel about "a calamity caused when people ignore a monster due to their desire for money." So we'll probably not have a teaser with ominous rippling water moving through a myriad of settings, but one can hope for something equally cool.

1. The first movie was so badass. It sucks that it didn't get a lot of mainstream appeal in the US. Looking forward to #2 though.
