Paper Towns is my all time favourite book. I love the story, I love every character and I love the mystery. It's a book about love, and friendship, and acceptance, and moving on.
Now you can imagine my excitement when Nat Wolff got cast as Q because I think he'd perfect. I was a little hesitant about Cara Delevigne (but only because I've never seen her act) until I saw the trailer and now I'm counting the days until the movie comes out and I can go see it about six times.
John Green just did an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the movie (which comes out on July 24th), and here are some things he said that made me even more excited.
About Nat Wolff being cast as Q:
"He read Paper Towns on the set of The Fault in Our Stars, and I told him that if they ever made a movie of another one of my books, I wanted him to play the main character. I love Nat, and he just naturally sounds like I want the characters in my books to sound. He’s got that tension between innocence and experience, between wanting to live a big, bold life and being absolutely terrified to. He’s also exceptionally mature—I think of Nat more as a friend and collaborator than as a kid."
About Cara Delevigne being cast as Margo:
"Whatever ideas I had about supermodels, Cara immediately deconstructed them and threw them back at me. She’s a wonderful actress. That’s one of the things that I hope will come out of this—people seeing just how talented she is. I desperately wanted to be like her when I was her age. I wanted to have that courage of my convictions and genuinely not care what other people thought of me. I think if you are lucky, you get to meet a few genuinely eccentric people; Cara is one of the few I’ve come across in my life. She’s wonderfully, insanely talented, and also entirely herself."
Comparing the TFIOS movie to Paper Towns:
"It’s hard. The movies are totally different. Paper Towns is a really funny movie, and The Fault in Our Stars, for all of its excellence, fell very flat for me as a comedy. [Laughs] The last movie I got to watch people crush my soul, and this time I got to watch them lift it up."
I can't wait until this movie comes out. I feel like it's going to be the kind where you come out of the theatre thinking about life in a different way. There's nothing quite like that feeling.
