The former takes place in the present-day, where sixteen-year old cancer patient Hazel Grace Lancaster (Woodley) is doing her best to live a fulfilling life as a regular teenager, in spite of the knowledge that she is (as she words it) "a grenade" that, one day or another, is going to wreak emotional havoc on those close to her.Īn extended cut of the film's previously-released trailer (see above) offers a better look at Hazel's daily life, via a talk with her parents - one that's rather different than the conversations most teens have with their mom and dad - as well as an extra moment or two between she and the young Augustus Waters (Elgort): a teen amputee and bone cancer survivor, whose thirst for life and upbeat personality make it all but impossible for Hazel to be immune to his charms (or so the trailer informs us, anyway).įault in Our Stars began as a book written by John Green, before it was adapted for the big screen by screenwriter duo Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Having seen the movie, I say this to you: Bring your damn Kleenex.Moving on - Fault in Our Stars is a very different sort of best-selling young adult novel-turned movie than Woodley and Elgort's previous collaboration. The Fault in Our Stars opens on June 6 and tells the story of the relationship between Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), two teenage cancer survivors. Will this passion translate into good business for the film? The One Direction movie did only meh at the box office, but that was a concert film. That's perhaps not a surprise considering the fanaticism surrounding the book on which the movie is based, and John Green, the author of that book.

In views, neither is close to, say, the U.K. It's the Nerdfighters over the Directioners, and, as of this week, the trailer for The Fault in Our Stars has surpassed that of One Direction: This Is Us as the most "liked" movie trailer ever on YouTube.
