“I hope they’re starting Tumblrs because it looks like a fun place to talk to people about what you’re passionate about. Will the contest motivate them to start using the social media platform? “I hope so!” Fershleiser said. (Alas, 20th Century Fox told PW that Amsterdam is not on the list as of now.)Īnother snag with the Tumblr promotion, noted by another of the nearly two million VlogBrothers subscribers: “What if you don’t have a Tumblr?” And indeed, non-Tumblr users are out of luck: they can’t vote.
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS MOVIE TUMBLR MOVIE
“Since part of the movie is in Amsterdam, you should promote the movie there for all the Dutch fans,” one wrote in a comment on Green’s VlogBrothers YouTube channel, which he created with Hank, his younger brother. Some fans, ineligible for the U.S.-based contest, implored the author to visit them anyway. Dozens of people have already posted fan-reaction videos to the movie trailer. “Our fan base is so creative and so passionate the traveling fan art is a recognition that we have a really special community,” Dewey said. That reader enthusiasm will be visible, literally, on the campaign’s giant moveable poster wall decorated with fan art. “I’m a big fan of John Green, outside of his book,” she said. She takes it as a good sign that Green played a big part in making the movie. “It looks like it’s going to be pretty faithful,” said Nerdfighter Paige Finch, 18, a high school senior in Knoxville who cast her Tumblr vote for Tennessee. More than 15 million people have viewed the movie trailer on YouTube. And many of those fans are talking about the book and film on social media. “I’m sure there will be a plane involved if the states are far apart.”Īccording to figures supplied by Penguin Young Readers, more than seven million copies of the novel – about two teens with cancer who meet at a support group and fall in love – are in print. “It will depend on the state.” Even Green’s mode of transportation, he added, is up in the air. The movie features Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster, Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters, Nat Wolff as Isaac, and Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, and Willem Dafoe in supporting roles. No word, either, on whether the stops will be at bookstores, libraries, malls, or anywhere else. Unsurprisingly, a film adaptation was announced in 2013, which was to be directed by Josh Boone ( Stuck In Love) and it was released on June 6th 2014. It’s not going to be a super-quick thing.” Some of this will be dependent on which state they go to and what they’re doing. “We’re still working out some of the timing. “It’s not going to be a 15-minute thing for sure,” Dewey said. How long Green and the actors will visit each stop remains an intentional mystery, too. “He will have a pen!” (Green is a signing legend: he autographed 150,000 books before his 2012 tour.) “We expect John to participate at each stop with signings,” he said. The film, based on the novel by John Green, was beautiful, romantic and tragic. Fox is keeping mum about planned activities, too, though Dewey is not ruling out autographs. I had heard good things about The Fault in our Stars and noticed his name.
