Look! I made a thing!!

For my Design Methods class we had to choose a book and re-design it’s cover. I picked The fault in Our stars by John Green <3. I suck with type, but I’m pretty happy how this turned out. It was a fun homework and the best part is that now I have a personalized book jacket for one of my favorite books <3

~~Dear John Green, if you ever see this around tumblr, I hope you like it XD~~

Okay so I read the post you just reblogged and immediately went to the Divergent IMDB and I was wondering if Max is actually black?...I don't recall reading much about him other then the meeting on the bridge and hearing his name thrown around by Four a few times.

eightysixcharlie — Sun, 12 May 2013 18:59:00 +0800

Hi there,

Yes, he is actually black. I own the paperback version and it is said on Chapter 6

“Listen up! My name is Max! I am one of the leaders of your new faction!” shouts a man at the other end of the roof. he is older than the others, with deep creases in his dark skin and gray hair at his temples, and he stands on the ledge like it’s a sidewalk.

It’s on the 8th or 9th page of Chapter 6

Just FYI, I decided to publish this because other people might be wondering too and I think this will help clear things out :) I hope you don’t mind.

fishingboatproceeds:

1. Shailene Woodley is a brilliant actress and Golden Globe nominee. I cannot think of any 18-year-old actress who has received the kind of critical acclaim that she has (she also won an Independent Spirit Award).

She auditioned for The Fault in Our Stars not because she needs the part (I mean, she’s in the new Spider Man movie, for God’s sakes) but because she loves the book. Her depth of understanding were immediately obvious in the audition and for me there could be no one else to play Hazel. (There were a bunch of really good auditions, but Shailene just understood Hazel as I imagined her.)

I am not particularly concerned with physical looks; Hollywood can fix that stuff. (Remember when Nicole Kidman became Virginia Woolf?) I’m concerned with whether she can embody the voice and experience and life of Hazel. She can.

2. Ansel Elgort is also a huge fan of TFiOS (it is, in fact, his favorite book). He was a high school basketball player who also happens to be a very intellectual guy. Most importantly, when he auditioned, he became Augustus. Watching him audition with Shailene, he was just Gus and she was just Hazel. He understood Gus, and clearly had a very deep and thoughtful relationship with the book. Honestly, I’m a bit confused as to how you can dislike an actor whose work you have definitionally never seen, since his first movie isn’t out yet.

3. Novelists do not cast movies, so these were not my decisions (although I did have a lot of input). But I’m defending them because I think they’re both perfect for their parts (and I’d tell you if I felt otherwise).

4. There seems to be some concern that Ansel and Shailene are playing siblings in a different movie. I guess I can understand that, but they’re actors. They can play different roles. They’ll look different and act different and be different. I mean, no one watched Silver Linings Playbook and thought, “When did Katniss move to the suburbs of Philadelphia?”

If the movie works, you’ll sit down in the theater and you won’t say, “Oh look it’s Shailene Woodley,” or, “Oh, look, it’s Tris from Divergent.” You’ll say, “Holy wow Hazel Grace.”

THIS; all of this for all casting announcements!

“His performance completely annihilated our concerns about his playing Caleb in ‘Divergent’ with Shailene, and we are confident that the fans of Fault will fall in love with him the same way that Hazel does–slowly, and then all at once.”

Ansel Elgort offered lead in ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ opposite Shailene Woodley

Hazel has found her Gus!

Ansel Elgort has been offered the role of Augustus Waters—the male lead opposite Shailene Woodley—in the eagerly anticipated adaptation of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars,directed by Josh Boone. Green’s beloved, best-selling book is a love story that is equal parts funny, sweet, and heartbreaking in its telling of Hazel and Gus, two teens who meet in a cancer support group. (EW had it on the Best Fiction of 2012 list)

“Ansel is whip-smart and uber-charismatic and everything I dreamed for Augustus Waters,” John Green tells EW in an exclusive statement. “I am by nature a cautious pessimist, but I’ll just say it: Now that we have Shailene and Ansel, I am completely, unreservedly psyched about this movie.”

(from Entertainment Weekly)

If you didn't know already...

Ansel Elgort has been cast as August Waters in TFioS

This is sort of weird ‘cause Ansel plays Caleb in Divergent who is the brother of Tris Prior who is played by Shailene Woodley who will also play Hazel Grace in TFioS…

If you didnt get that, they play siblings in Divergent and each others love interest in TFioS…

With The Selection and Delirium tv pilots being dropped by networks I think the people who own the rights should consider just making it a mini series if they think it isn’t fit for a movie or a full series.
