Perhaps instead of Peter Van Houten, one of the new leads worships a little book written by an aging cancer survivor named Hazel Grace Lancaster? Eh? A book called… Wait for it… "The Fault In Our Stars?" In this, it would have a loose connection to the original, but be told with two new, young teens wrestling with disease.Īnd like "Havana Nights," it would need a cameo by someone from the original. Instead, chances are that if a direct sequel doesn't get made, someone is going to "continue" the story years later, a la the "Dirty Dancing" sequel. No, we're not saying "Fault In Our Stars 2" should head to Cuba. Who doesn't want to watch the adventures of a burnt-out, alcoholic author in Amsterdam instead of hot, angst-ridden teens getting it on?Įxample(s): "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" The most obvious choice would be Isaac (Nat Wolff) as he continues to wrestle with love and blindness, because it's a metaphor, Hazel Grace.Īlso possible would be Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe), whose fate is left relatively open at the end of the movie. Probably the most reasonable way of continuing the story is by not following Hazel Grace, but instead one of the supporting characters. Similarly, "The Fault In Our Stars 2" could follow Shailene Woodley's Hazel Grace as she continues to wrestle with the Big C, and maybe finds a new love? We know no one can measure up to Augustus Waters, but let's be frank: "My Girl 2" didn't measure up to "My Girl," and it happened anyway.Įxample(s): "Get Him To The Greek," "This Is 40" And yet, it did continue, following Anna Chlumsky's character as she continues to grow and experience what it is like to be a girl in the possessive. There's no good reason why the story of "My Girl" should have continued after spoiler Macaulay Culkin's character dies of bee stings, similar to how Ansel Elgort's character spoiler dies in "TFIOS," though actually not similar at all because cancer.
With that in mind, here's 7 possible, totally legit ideas for sequels to "The Fault In Our Stars:" So even if there's no necessity for a sequel, you know that somewhere in Hollywood someone is floating, and possibly even exploring, the idea.
But, and here's the big caveat, the movie made a ton of money over the weekend. A book that will stay with you for years to come.There's no good reason to make a sequel to " The Fault In Our Stars." The movie - and John Green's book - tell a story that feels, and is, completely done in one. Well, as I said before urge you to read it, It is a lovely book, the kind that will have you thinking and wondering. After all, "life is not a wish Granting Factory" as Augustus Waters put it. People might say that this book had a sad ending, the truth is, it has only captured reality and stated it in a noble, satisfying way. A book that touches your heart one moment and touches your soul the next. This book is humorous, a book that sometimes will put you laughing and at other moments sends you crying. I was attached to him the moment I met him on the pages of paper and ink. As for Augustus he has a good sense a humor, and is quite a happy, understanding person. She prefers to read poetry than create it. Hazel, is a simple person, as she puts it, "just benevolent Hazel" she's serious, smart, and a bibliophile. Until she meets Augustus Waters, a boy of seventeen, and as so many other young adult books this good book has the smallest hint of romance. This is Hazels life, that's all there is to it. So she spends her time just reading, living lives longer than hers between ink and paper. It's a simple enough book, Hazel Grace has terminal cancer and is dying more and more each day,she's living a life depressed, but what can you do when you are dying, you know you can not start anything special because you will never be able to end it. I recommend it and urge you within the depths of my soul to read this book.
But for those of you who haven't, I will tell you straight out the purpose of this book review. Many people have read this book or others have seen the movie. It's true isn't it? In this book, John Green has captured and gotten words, put them in the correct order and revealed truth. “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” - Hazel Grace
