The panelists discussed one of the major themes of Paper Towns, the idea of putting someone on a pedestal as Quentin does with Margo: “We do girls a disservice by putting them on a pedestal and romanticizing them,” Green said. Green compared being on set for the adaptations of The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns, saying that the latter was a much lighter experience, with more laughter than tears. Weber, and composer Ryan Lott of Son Lux. Green spoke about the movie adaptation at BookCon on May 30, where he shared the stage with cast members Nat Wolff and Justice Smith, director Jake Schreier, screenplay writer Michael H. Green recently discussed his script with the Huffington Post, saying that “it was very, very different from the book, and I think fans would not have liked it.” He shared that one of the significant ways that his script strayed from the novel was that Quentin gets together with Lacey by the end – something that many readers may have very well have objected to, even if it was written by Green. On Green’s website, he wrote: “I worked hard on the script for much of 2009, but in the end Mandate didn’t feel they had the kind of screenplay they could shoot. Green himself was in charge of writing the screenplay, but the project did not go forward. Ironically, it’s something that fans might have had to worry about more, had a Paper Towns movie been made a few years ago, when Mandate Pictures held the rights. Though fan expectations may arguably be less fervent than they were for The Fault in Our Stars – a more romantic and outwardly tragic story – legions of fans are counting on the movie to do justice to the book.
The 2014 film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars has grossed more than $120 million domestically and has built up a lot of pent-up demand for the next movie based on a John Green book.
Green’s books, which tend to focus on intellectually curious, psychologically complex teenagers, have not only garnered enormous popularity, but John Green himself has earned the sort of celebrity status that might once have been reserved for actors or pop stars. The movie is directed by Jake Schreier and stars Cara Delevingne as Margo, Nat Wolff as Quentin, and Halston Sage as Margo’s friend Lacey. After that, Margo disappears and Quentin and friends take a road trip to try to locate her. Having always had a crush on Margo, Quentin willingly accompanies her on an all-night adventure, spent avenging the peers who Margo feels have wronged her. The story, a coming-of-age mystery and romance with themes of misperception and authenticity, centers on high school seniors and neighbors Quentin Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman, who live in a Florida subdivision. Paper Towns, the second film adaptation inspired by a John Green novel (following The Fault in Our Stars) will hit movie theaters on July 24. For Nerdfighters everywhere, the countdown commences.
