Taylor Lautner to Star in Film Adaptation of Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

Deadline|Hollywood is reporting that Taylor Lautner (Twilight Saga) has been tapped to star in the film adaptation of the young adult thriller Incarceron by Catherine Fisher.

Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities, and vast wilderness. Finn (to be played by Lautner), a seventeen-year-old prisoner, has no memory of his childhood and is sure that he came from Outside Incarceron. Very few prisoners believe that there is an Outside, however, which makes escape seems impossible.

And then Finn finds a crystal key that allows him to communicate with a girl named Claudia. She claims to live Outside; she is the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, and doomed to an arranged marriage. Finn is determined to escape the prison, and Claudia believes she can help him. But they don't realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost more than they know.

The sequel to Incarceron, Sapphique, is on bookshelves later this month (it may be pre-ordered).
