John Green movie...a reality?!

‘The Fault in Our Stars’ movie producer Wyck Godfrey updates fans on the adaptation


Hypable and Kaleb Nation spoke to The Twilight Saga and The Fault in Our Stars movie producer Wyck Godfrey at the premiere of Breaking Dawn – Part 2 last night and received new information on the progress of the book-to-film adaptation of the John Green novel.

“The book I most want to do right now, because I’m the closest being ready to do it, is The Fault in Our Stars,” Godfrey told us. “It is the best book, it makes you rip your guts out, it makes you want to go out and live a better life. I love it, I can’t wait to make it.”

“I’m producing it, Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who wrote 500 Days of Summer, wrote the script – it’s brilliant. I’m getting ready to hire a director, we’ve got all the actresses you would ever want to be in it want to play Hazel Grace. So I’m excited about that.”

Green spoke about bringing the book to theaters in September, noting that the book’s sales numbers ignited interest in Hollywood. The story focuses on Hazel and Augustus, two cancer patients attending the same support group. While cancer is a topic of the book, the book is so much more and has received critical acclaim upon its release.

I feel like the only person who hasn't read this yet. And I read 70 YA books a year. What is my life?

The Shadow Society was terrible. I only read it because I'm writing in an alternate Chicago setting, so I wanted to see what the author did with it. I'm sick of alternate universes where it's clear the author only wants to set it in AU because it sounds cool, but doesn't do the historic research to make the AU a little bit plausible or how the "divergent point" affects historical events moving forward.

Oh, and to answer the thread: The Calculating Passion of Ada Lovelace by Joan Baum

It's just slogging through right now. I keep putting it down. I also have Crewel and The Blessed to read.

Gah.

Haven't read The Blessed, but I liked the idea behind Crewel and the world was interesting--if under-developed--but half-way through it became a clichéd YA dystopia.

Crewel just reminds me so much of Dark City based on the synopsis. But yeah, I'm afraid of reading Crewel to be honest.
