character outline and shooting script

character outline for the host

Angel Mann
Angel is an ordinary 21 year old woman who works at her local supermarket and has been working there part time from the past 6 months. She used to attend university, however dropped out of it, due to a murder which took place to her room mate. The death affected Angel due to such a horrific death, resulting in her departure from the university, as she was temporarily accused of the murder. She met her boyfriend Matt when she was 18 at college where they studied similar subjects and gained a strong connection with each other.
However, Angel is a descendant from a long line of women that are used as hosts by evil spirits called the Unknown, causing pain and misery where ever the host is. The Unknown make there presence known by turning dreams into reality. Unaware of her dependency, death occurs around her, she is forced to believe she needs psychiatric help and her own family turns her back on her. Angel then seeks guidance in the form of old friend reverend Jeremy Thomas who aids her through the dark times that lie ahead.

Matt Remus
Matt is angel’s boyfriend of 3 years, where they met at college. Matt has always shown his love to her and recently planned to propose to his girlfriend, as he wishes to be part of her life for the rest of theirs. They met when Matt was 19 an have been in love ever since, despite increasing concerns about the way Angle has had graphic dreams since the death of her room mate at university. Matt still lives in his parents house, but has plans to buy an apartment for both himself and Angel to live in.
Matt knew that Angel had nothing to do with the death of her room mate and is worried about the way she still has been hit hard with the whole event. What Matt doesn’t know, is that the dreams and the death of her room mate are all signs of the Unknown, growing in power to make her dreams become reality. However what Matt also doesn’t know, that his demise is about to come as Angel has a graphic dream about Matt’s death. Although his death will be more important that he realises.

Reverand Jeremy Thomas
Jeremy Thomas is the local priest and has been a priest for as long as the locals can remember. He is also a family friend to Angel for as long as she can remember too. He is a well respected man however, is a rather quiet and a shy man, as he is only ever seen at the church and rarely seen outside of it. He is fully committed to church life but is a very secretive man about his past and his age, which is becoming a key topic at church as he has been at the church for so long and has rarely seemed to age.
He however has been charged with the duty to watch over angel’s family and protect her against the Unknown as he is one of few people that are destined to protect the host; Angel being one of them. Reverend Thomas has watched over generations of Angel’s family bloodline and will continue to serve them until the Unknown are no more. Which does mean, until the day the host can regain control of an Unknown.
