Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last two years, you have at least heard about The Fault in Our Stars. (Critically acclaimed young adult novel turned hugely successful young adult film starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.)
From the same author, and popular YouTuber, comes a new movie adapted from one of his previously written, bestselling, novels- Paper Towns. The film stars Nat Wolff, Cara Delevingne, Halston Sage, Austin Abrams, Justice Smith, and Jaz Sinclair.

"Margo always loved mysteries. An in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one."
Interviewing Nat Wolff and Cara Delevingne!!
The film is centered on Quentin, or “Q”, as he goes on an adventure to find Margo Roth Spiegelman- his missing neighbor, and love of his life, after she suddenly disappears.
In the beginning of the film we get to learn the backstory behind Q and Margo’s relationship as best friends growing up. It’s the story we’ve seen before. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, and boy and girl become best friends who ride their bicycles around the neighborhood every single day. Girl eventually grows up to be the most popular and beautiful girl in school; boy grows up to be the less hott nerdy kid with only two awkward friends. They drift apart and don’t have anything in common anymore. Until one night, when Q wakes up to Margo climbing through his window. This is the part in John Green’s novel where things start to get interesting. Margo has chosen Q to be her partner-in-crime for a one night escapade around town on a secret mission. However, after that one fateful night, she is never seen or heard from again. Only because of the cryptic clues Margo has left behind, does Q decide to muster up his own courage to go on an epic adventure to find, and bring back, the love of his life. However, he will need a little help from his friends along the way as he discovers the understanding of true friendship… and true love.
John Green’s third novel Paper Towns was written in 2008 and was an immediate success, debuting at #5 on The New York Times bestsellers list for young adult fiction. After the box office success of TFIOS, it was no surprise that Fox quickly acquired the rights to Paper Towns. The interesting story, though, is the fact that Nat Wolff was handpicked to star in this film. While on set for TFIOS, as a supporting cast member, one of the producers mischievously hinted at Wolff to “check out Paper Towns”. After fans of TFIOS voiced their opinions on Wolff’s incredible performance, they reached out to Wolff to lead Green’s next film adaptation.
The next step in the casting process was to then find the mysterious Margo Roth Spiegelman, who they found in famous British model, social media princess, Victoria Secret angel, and muse of Karl Lagerfeld- Cara Delevingne. Cara is the “it girl” in the young model world, along with her best friend Kendall Jenner.
Many of the same filmmakers (producers and screenwriters) from #TeamGreen returned to bring Paper Towns to the big screen, and you can tell. In a way, the film emits the same style even though it is a completely different story with all new characters.

#QUOTED.
"Breakout movie of the summer" -Kylie Mar, Made in Hollywood
I was watching the news and saw my quote during a commercial break!
I liked the movie. It’s a sweet coming-of-age story with great characters. I think the reason why the characters are so likeable is because they were casted so well. Nat is your trustworthy best friend, who you want to have everything good in the world, because you know he deserves it. He’s super down-to-earth and friendly in person! I’ve been a fan of Cara’s since I started following her on Instagram a couple of years ago. She always has a super funny/weird face in her pictures and is always doing something wild and/or crazy. I believe this is the year for the models turned actresses. (i.e. Rosie Huntington-Whitely in Mad Max: Fury Road and Chanel Iman in Dope) So it’s really cool to see her acting chops! Halston Sage is mostly known from her role in Neighbors with Zac Efron. She’s super gorgeous and reminds me of a young Rachel McAdams. (I would LOVE to see them in a movie together, maybe as young mother-daughter or older sister/interim mother?) She’s also super sweet in person and seems like a girl you would want to hang out with!
Preconceived notions are a big theme in this film. When it comes to celebrities, we think we know them. But, do we really? I dug a little deeper and got the stars of the film to tell me one thing about them that we probably DIDN'T know!

Although Paper Towns only debuted in the #6 spot in the Box Office this weekend, it is important to note that they brought in an opening of $12.5 million. Their budget for the film was $12 million, which means they already covered production costs! Anything they make from here on out will just be profit! Congrats Paper Towns!!
