I Have Been Blessed

Two new stills from The Fault In Our Stars have been released. The movie, based off the book by John Green, stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.

The images were released in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly. In the issue, director, Josh Boone talks casting Shailene, Ansel talks getting the part of Gus, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

Josh on casting Shailene in the movie: “’I liked her a lot personally, but I still didn’t think she was Hazel,’ he says. But then she auditioned. ‘Within about two minutes, I knew it was going to be her,’ he says. ‘I was on the floor. I thought, ‘Why am I fighting this? There’s nobody better than her. She’s awesome.’”

On Ansel finding out he got the role: “Taking a page out of the Fault playbook — when Gus surprises Hazel with a picnic and plane tickets to Amsterdam — she packed Elgort a brown paper bag containing a Dutch cheese-and-tomato sandwich to take home with him to Manhattan. Her instruction: Don’t open it till she said so. A few days later, Boone called Elgort to give him the news, and he finally got to open the bag. ‘I didn’t eat it,” Elgort says. The cheese had gone moldy and the tomato was black. ‘But I was psyched.’”
