Fox 2000 to Adapted the Young Adult Novel DELIRIUM

Fox 2000 has recently made a first-look deal with a book development company called Paper Lantern Lit. The company focuses on Young Adult books and up-and-coming writers. In the process of making the deal the studio picked up the rights to the novel Delirium written by the company's co-founder, Lauren Oliver.

Delirium currently holds the sixth spot on the New York Times' Children's Chapter Book Bestseller list in its first week of release. The story is set in a dystopian world where love is a curable disease and where compassion and affection are forbidden.

There's no doubt the studio is looking to cater to the Twilight crowd. 

Here's the book description:

Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. 

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

Ahhh... how sweet.
