Last February, I blogged about The Fault In Our Stars the movie, and just last week / 2 weeks ago, they announced that Shailene Woodley will star as the Cancer-struck protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster, and Ansel Elgort will playing opposite her in the much coveted role of Augustus Waters.
Ansel Elgort as Augustus "Gus" Waters and Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster.
They should've gone with Brenton Thwaites! He was one of the five that the production considered for the role of Gus, along with Nick Robinson, Noah Silver, and Nat Wolf. Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed, because I am. And weirdly enough, both Woodley and Elgort are also cast for another book-to-movie, Divergent (by Veronica Roth), wherein they play the brother and sister roles of Beatrice and Caleb Prior. Can you say awkward?
Well, I think it's too early for me to be that disappointed, considering these books practically rocked planet earth to the core last year by winning Goodreads Choice Award 2012 for Young Adult Fiction (The Fault in Our Stars) and Young Adult Fantasy and Science Fiction (Insurgent, Divergent's book 2). I'll keep my fingers crossed! And I cant help thinking Shailene Woodley must be one heck of an actress to be bagging both leading roles of these amazing books. Well, we're going to find out soon enough.

I am excited about this <3 I think The Fault In Our Stars is the kind of story that works better in film than in paper. Dunno about the casts though.
I know! Oh my gosh ! I'm so excited >__________<!
