- LEXICON
Though the novel won't be released until mid-2013, X-Men:
First Class director Matthew Vaughn has purchased the rights to Max Barry's
upcoming novel, Lexicon.

"['Lexicon'] is about a secret persuasion society that
builds and deploys words as weapons," Barry writes on his official site.
"The people who wield these words are known as poets; the story centers
around a young woman who is recruited into their ranks, and the man she falls
in love with. Which you are not allowed to do, as a poet. I could explain why,
but I’m not going to. Just trust me."
Vaughn himself has plans to write and direct the big screen
adaptation, though he'll first produce Kick-Ass 2 and will direct the
still-untitled First Class sequel, tentatively planned to shoot in January of
2013.
