If you’re not yet familiar with THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, prepare yourself for one of the biggest tearjerkers of the year. Based on the novel by John Green, the film stars Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff, and Willem Dafoe in a story of an unlikely romance between a young woman battling cancer and a young man who defeated it. It’s a movie filled with heartwarming moments, a few unexpected surprises, and yes, scenes that will demand you have a few Kleenex handy. I can honestly say it was one I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy, but found it to be rather incredible. As part of a recent press tour, I had a chance to sit down with Shailene Woodley, Nat Wolff and author John Green and talk about their thoughts on THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. Woodley and Wolff discuss their specific character traits and the effect the movie had on them, and John talks about the feeling of seeing his work brought to the big screen. It’s worthy of note, in the film Shailene wears a oxygen breathing tube on her face pretty much the whole time, and Nat at one point is supposed to be blind – for which he actually wore contacts that prevented him from seeing anything. My sincere thanks to Grady May for editing this. I’m guessing with the sequels to DIVERGENT on the way, it’s going to be harder and harder to catch up with Shailene Woodley, so I’m very happy to have this opportunity for sure a great film in her early career. One of the things we’re talking about at the start was a promotional Q&A they did the night before, where the fans could come see them, and how it wasn’t as crazy as those types of things can sometimes be…
