In Hollywood it's all about the box office. If your film brings in big bucks, expect producers, studios and casting directors to come calling.

Her sci-fi romance novel, The Host, spent 26 weeks as a bestseller and is rumored to be in pre-production for a 2011 release. Meyer says she will be focusing her efforts on the final installments of the Twilight movie franchise, set to arrive in theaters in November 2011."
