This weekend \u2018The Host\u2019 hits cinemas and stars the Lotus Evora amongst its beautiful cast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Evora<\/a><\/p>\n

The long awaited movie adaptation of \u2018The Host\u2019 written by Stephanie Myer, author of \u2018The Twilight Saga\u2019 premiered in LA on 19th March and will be on international release from March 22nd at which time big screens all over the world will be alight with a fleet of awesome looking Lotus Evoras<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The movie follows the plight of \u2018Melanie\u2019 played by Irish actress Saoirse Ronan as she battles an unforeseen enemy lead by \u2018Seeker\u2019 played by Hollywood favourite Diane Kruger. A romantic action-adventure which sees Melanie join resistance fighters as they battle for the survival of the human race, ‘The Host’ is a tale of spirit, individuality and determination – traits that echo Lotus\u2019 own character.<\/p>\n

Treated in a chrome vinyl wrap and fitted with special-effect lighting, the Evoras are driven by the \u2018baddies\u2019 of the piece. It is the mission of \u2018The Seekers\u2019 to rid earth from all human negativity achieving this by invading human \u2018hosts\u2019 and cleansing their minds and erasing their memories to build a neutral race devoid of character and emotion.<\/p>\n

Negotiations for a \u201chero car for \u2018Lead Seeker\u2019” started in early October 2011 and by the end of the month Lotus had agreed to provide a number of Evoras to the project directed by its screenwriter Andrew Niccol who was looking for an extraordinary car for the role. The Lotus Evora was chosen for its stunning and futuristic aesthetic, which when juxtaposed with contemporary locations, gives a truly alien element to the Sci-Fi movie. <\/p>\n

Lotus has a strong cinematic history; with appearances in two \u2018Bond\u2019 films – in \u2018The Spy Who Loved Me\u2019 out-racing a motorbike and helicopter before taking to the sea as the iconic submersible Esprit, and in a cool role in \u2018For Your Eyes Only\u2019; \u201ccornering like its on rails\u201d with Julia Roberts at the wheel in \u2018Pretty Woman\u2019; and taking part in an adrenaline fuelled chase sequence along the San Francisco coastline with Sharon Stone in \u2018Basic Instinct\u2019.<\/p>\n

No doubt the dynamic driving scenes featured in \u2018The Host\u2019 will take their place alongside these exciting movie moments as stand out performances for Lotus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
