She meets a charming former cancer sufferer and amputee named Gus who is immediately taken by Hazel and the pair become inseparable he sees past her tragic illness and is the only person who makes her feel as if she has a lifetime ahead of her. Her mother forces her to attend a nearby cancer support group in a bid to help her come to terms with her illness and make friends who understand her situation. Judging by the film's latest trailer, this new movie has traces of the hip wit found in Neustadter and Weber's (500) Days of Summer screenplay, with poignance and philosophy similar to that found in the pair's script for their previous teen romance tale, The Spectacular Now (which also costarred Woodley).Hazel Lancaster is a bright 16-year-old girl suffering from terminal cancer who is forced to carry an oxygen and breathing tubes with her wherever she goes. 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. 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.
