Trivia

Although this is the first film to be successfully adapted from a John Green novel (his fifth), it is not the first to have its film rights be sold. In 2005, the film rights for Green's debut novel, Looking for Alaska, was purchased by Paramount. Although the success of The Fault in Our Stars has reignited interest in Paramount to start production, Green revealed in 2016 that "It has always fallen apart of one reason or another." See more
