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). 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.
