Disney is in negotiations with David Slade to direct Matched, an adaptation of the Ally Condie young-adult novel. The book series revolves around a girl in a dystopian future where choice is taken away, and a young woman falls in love with a guy she has not been matched with. Kieran and Michelle Mulroney (Sherlock Holmes 2) wrote the script and Offspring’s Jennifer Gibgot and Adam Shankman are producing. The third book in the series, Reached, will be published in November by Penguin. Slade directed 30 Days Of Night and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and was supposed to direct Daredevil before backing out to direct the pilot for Hannibal. He is repped by WME and Anonymous Content.


Slade. Ewww. I guess he has visual style but he’s not half as clever as he thinks he is. Cynical and sarcastic beyond reason.
It’s wonderful!!!!!!
Second book was awful, so I hope this is a one off.
I know!!! I liked the first book MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE!!!
Did you saw AWFUL. are you kidding? It’s genius! Do you call yourself a fan?
Cool it’s going to be a movie I just hope Disney doesn’t make it cheesy like most disney movies are and cast actors who cannot act.
Yay! I have been waiting to hear news on this movie. I love the books and can’t wait for the third one to come out! Ally Condie rocks!
i completely agree, she is amazing!! I can’t wait till the movie comes out!
this movie needs to come out asap..i have been hearing its in the works since right after the first book came out and now were still waiting ? i am going to like cry if there isn’t a date of when they plan to have it in theatres by the time i finish the third book !
ok if disney is producing it, i honeslty hope that it turns out good. I just finished reading Matched within two days and i really enjoyed it…like i honestly loved it, but if the movie dosen’t give it justice people arent going to go out and buy the book. Trust me im nto a reader, i only read whats good, and whats shown as good…therefor MAKE THE MOVIE AMAZING
So true,I will die if I don’t see the movie.
Disney has made pretty good movies such as:
The Avengers, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Alice in Wonderland(the recent version), Tron:Legacy, Pirates of the Carribean Movies, The Chronicles of Narnia, National Treasure, etc. I had my doubts too, but not so much anymore.
Wow, I heard about the books from my drama teacher who demanded I attempt to audition. I look just like cassia and it would be a great debut to my acting career
What I wouldn’t give to be in this movie! I love acting, and this is my favorite series ever!!
I swear Disney….
If you mess this up like you did Percy Jackson someone will pay…
All of the books in the trilogy are good, so you can all sut up and chill out. The Crossed is making the transition between Matched and Reached, so if you think that Crossed is boring, it’s not, because of what it has set up for the Reached story line.
