Filming for Andrew Niccol’s book-to-film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s The Host will be moving to Albuquerque and Farmington, New Mexico starting next week and a couple of open casting calls for the project have been announced.

The Host will film in New Mexico from April 9th until April 28th, and On Location Casting shared two open casting calls for the project on its Facebook page. The first is for seekers (like Diane Kruger’s character), and the second is for Asian babies.

The New Mexico locations, according to actress Frances Fisher (who portrays “Maggie” in the film)’s tweet on the subject, will be used for exterior shots for the film, while for the past month, she explained, the cast and crew have been working on interior cave scenes in Louisiana.
