![]() ![]() ![]() All snarkiness aside, to learn more about what to expect from Matched, hit the jump for a quick synopsis of Condie's novel. This sounds great because if there's one thing I can't stand, it's young girls thinking their lives could ever be complete without having a good man to take care of them. Per Variety, Matched, "with its love triangle and young characters, is being described as yet another potential Twilight for Disney" (recently, the studio also picked up the rights to Lauren Kate's "angel love triangle" Fallen for similar purposes). The novel, which isn't available until November 30th, is set in a society that "dictates what people read, watch and believe." Based on that bit of information, it sounds like Disney is a perfect fit for the material (Note: my cynicism doesn't take away from my love of Beauty and the Beast). The first in a three-part series, Condie tells the story of a young girl growing up in such a world and answers the question about whether such a world is, indeed, awesome. Disney and Offspring Entertainment have won a bidding-war with Paramount to secure the rights to the yet-to-be-released first installation of the Ally Condie young adult novel trilogy Matched. Well, whether or not you have trouble imagining that reality, fear notAlly Condies done it for you in her 2010 novel, Matched. ![]()
