Well never fear little infinities, because the bespectacled nerd fighter has announced that another one of his books will be taken to the big screen. And now a director has been attached! Sarah Polley, famed for her script writing on Oscar nominated Away From Her and documentary Stories From Us, will take the helm at not only adapted the story but directing it too.
While, heavens alive, its glorious to see more female directors taking on big projects like this, Looking for Alaska is often delegated as the best of Greens novels and rumours have sprung about The Fault in Our Stars actor Nat Wolff to tackle Miles Halter, the lead.
Looking for Alaska is the coming of age take that sees the titular character perpetuate many affections from the males of her class. This is an astonishing debut from John Green, so fans of the author should be clapping their hands with delight right now!
So excited to announce that the brilliant filmmaker Sarah Polley will be writing and directing a film adaptation of Looking for Alaska.
