Looking for Alaska Trailer (HQ)

[singingmemories]

I cannot even with this god awful acting....

just... no.

[TheRealColbster]

Overacting at its worst.

[whostolemycheeze]

not the best possible casting for Alaska, but that last line was spot on.

[KiltAllen]

Wow... As a guy who has a massive, massive crush on Alaska... Fuck this. Seriously. This is so massively offensive to me on every level. I am disgusted.

[4TheLoveOfMinecraft]

She reminds me of Kesha... that's enough of a reason for me to hate this.

[colourmeful]

ew what an obnoxous ditz.... she is like the opposite of alaska

[ItssssGabby]

This is easily the best trailer I've seen yet. And out of fairness- you give this poor high school girl the task of being Alaska..... and only Alaska could be Alaska

[MoriahPiacente]

Ugh this is so terrible.

[PolkadottedAngels]

Go read the book.

[Totoromad123]

I feel sorry for anyone who watched this and hadn't read the book and almost the entire plot was shown, also, i think that is NOT Alaska.

[CakeBeneathTheIcing]

I appreciate the effort, but Alaska was really off key.

[ItsTheDrivewayBaby]

I see the time and the commitment it took you to create this trailer. But this trailer was.. it didn't really resemble the book. This looked like a normal story about a girl who acted recklessly just because it was fun. It did not catch the meaning of Looking for Alaska at all. Alaska is desperate inside, this girl just looked a little shallow.

[SrawberriiHaruka]

despite alaskas extremely obnoxiousness and the fact that she doesn't act like this at all, this is actually pretty good.

[BustedMusicCMJ]

That is NOT how Alaska would act...read the book people jeez!

[itsurdestineetowatch]

umm? why the fuck is it snowing 

[rosalena46]

ONE FORE YEAR AND THE ACTUAL MOVIE COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sparksprophecy86]

Notice how there's snow....in Alabama....

[GaistMeister1]

Oh god, it's probably the baddest movietrailer i've ever seen. The actors are awful, the filming is awful and nothing is like in the book. Fuck the man/woman that made this movie!

[IWillStandAndFight]

the booze is unopened...

[TheStarGazer93]

she acts so bad ._.

[jellybelly98rox]

Alaska is very unAlaksa-ish

[fyffie4lyffie]

THIS CANNOT BE ALASKA

[ConfusedShipper123]

Well thought out. Great job.

[mahafetissi]

Alaska is fucking annoying in this

[MasochisticMaiden]

Nice overall but damn that one thing ... chipper one dimensional Alaska .

[MasochisticMaiden]

Too chipper to be Alaska .

[littlewingsxox]

That girl is horrible lol nothing like alaska would be

[ThePichu172]

As a trailer 10/10 as a trailer about the book maybe 7/10

[TheFaultInMyStars]

Hmm.. I think I might actually like this. Sure, the actors didn't accurately portray the characters in Green's novel, but I think it would work if it were a story of its own.

[miyluv1]

Meh. She wasn't a very good Alaska, no offence. It seemed a little forced and fake at sometimes and the girl who was Alaska didn't seem very, I don't know, Alaska-ish.

[benlandry5]

That was EPIC! Cant wait till the movie comes out!!

[CakeBeneathTheIcing]

@benlandry5 Hate to break it to you, but there is no movie coming out.

[benlandry5]

@CakeBeneathTheIcing Are you sure about that, because IMDB say that its in development and is coming out in 2013.

[RenegadeAngel96]

i have nothing to say about this, that was not looking for alaska... in anyway

[sockostealshearts]

This is full of fail....

[TactownGirl]

There are a lot of comments saying they dislike the actress playing Alaska. I must agree that the acting is awful, but there are clearly a LOT of parts to this video that you're all forgetting. Good scripting, good editing, very well done filming. The Cornol's actor was really good, and pudges was cute.

This video was very, very well made. Let's not get stuck on the performance of one actress.

[lynbayliss09]

I really dislike the actress that portrays Alaska

[BlurgMaster3000]

Alaska is just so wrong, not at all as in the book.

[timothytia]

these kids have never been drunk

[pegmama8]

why is alaska so smiley??

[katnissblue99]

LOL Aspen High School!!

[Libbathena]

THAT'S. NOT. ALASKA.

[imawizardbeotch]

The girl who played Alaska is beautiful. I thought all the actors were perfect for their part. The acting was also pretty good. Well done! Dftba

[imNoTaStonerIsweaR]

Why is Alaska sooo... Not super hot like the book clearly states?

[BooMonsterOfficial]

fail at 0:33 :L

[VousEtesTresBeau]

ugh. that girl drives me nuts

[tamarstar21]

Its good but Alaska seemed kinda like a bimbo which is not her character at all.

[chocolateXfudgefied]

sorry but this is just so not looking for alaska material

[JSoubs]

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY READING OF A QUOTE FROM LOOKING FOR ALASKA, JUST CLICK MY CHANNEL :)

[ASUNDIN1710]

3:50 doesn't the coronal say that in the story?

[PeppyShalamar]

Good effort, but it's a little to over the top

[WingedDrant]

Uuuuugh!

Obvious camera reflection is obvious!

[LivesOnCemeteryDrive]

Alaska would never wear Uggs... She's too cheery... The book is better, sorry :3

[lmschieck]

I will ignore the fact that she is the exact opposite of everything Alaska Young is for the fact that she pronounces it "labyrith".

[besttheeverhappy]

oh god this cannot be unseen

[Iammejustthatone]

I just realise that i did read this book years ago in Dutch! The title was 'Het grote Misschien', I am a little bit geeking out at the moment. :)

[jewel819]

There is no way in Hell Alaska would wear Uggs...

[FreakingNarwhals]

This was alright, but I agree that she was way too cheery. And not anything like Alaska.

[mollyclune]

This is wonderful! But Alaska is a bit too cheery...and she's supposed to suck down those cigarettes uber fast! Crazies.

[4evaGTB]

ALL THE HATERS!! This is WONDERFUL! But you guys suck at pretending to be drunk.

[sexyemofruit]

Love this Chip. :D

[e1lio1t]

guy is good girl is bad

[MianaChica]

I'm sorry to the girl, but that isn't alaska in any way.

[YPWTBM]

2:40 again

[YPWTBM]

0:33 - 0:36 thats horrible

[spark3597]

that girl just can't be alaska. it would be a disgrace.

[Hersoftestsoul]

0:31 "Boys's"? Seriously?

[sophier24]

You can see the bottle isn't even open. They could have an empty one with water or something.

[mermaidblushxo]

clearly, this girl has never read the novel. sigh.

[BrilliantlyHermione]

alaska could have been a bit less cheery, but this was otherwise so perfect. the editing was art and the acting was very convincing. the music was beautiful, and it almost made me cry (:

[epicninjaskilz]

i have that same green jacket

[joomoo123]

ALASKA IS WEARING UGGS. HELL NO.

[DeadlyLoofahFilms]

Eh the Editing and filming aren't bad, but not super good. The pacing has much to be desired but I can tell there was at least thought put into everything. The Actors look like they know what they are doing, just lack of preparation. I can't wait to Finish my " The Fault In Our Stars" Short film. I hope it gets this much reception :)

[IImoonifyII]

The editting and filming was GREAT! Maybe not the acting part, but hey you tried! Besides, it wasn't THAT bad. Keep up being awesome :)

[thisorthat50]

ahh the colonial and pudge should have been switched

[emmaofawesome]

the acting is appalling... the girl playing Alaska obviously has no idea what she's meant to be like.

[eragonarya225]

She's too peppy. Alaska's random, excitable, but she isn't peppy.

[UmmOkNoodles]

This is beautiful! Great choice of scenes!

(The snow made me laugh, but hey, what can you do)

[HelloMyNameIsAsylum]

that last sentance is amazing.

[clandestine919]

PLEASE remove this from existence. I find it hard to believe that you even READ the book. 

[alremul]

@clandestine919 Wow. That's freaking rude. You CHOSE to watch it. 

[clandestine919]

@alremul Yes, it is, but this is disgraceful

[clandestine919]

@alremul If you have no skills in the areas needed, don't attempt to make a trailer

[alremul]

@clandestine919 Read the description, it was for a project. This person at least TRIED, I don't see you trying.

[clandestine919]

@alremul Do you know why you don't see me trying? Because I can't act or film or do anything concerning media very well. So I'm not going to TRY to make terrible videos ruining things people love

[th3soviet]

nooo snowwww

[th3soviet]

ummm...LFA is in the south?

[edisonfire18]

the acting reminds me of a middle school play

[WhamBamStealTheVan]

THIS IS TERRRIBLE lol

[FictonalReality]

To be perfectly honest the acting wasn't that great, but the story being brought to life is what counts. Of course John is going to think the trailer is awesome, someone liked his book enough to make it! Honestly, I read Paper Towns for my Junior English class and LOVED it. Actually... might have been for YA Lit... I forget. Point is, I could have read looking for Alaska then but didn't. This trailer did something for John Green because I don't know about anyone else, but I want to read it now.

[theycallmeluz]

what's a labyrith?

[DubSponge]

@theycallmeluz a maze

[101CriticMovie]

FURTHER MORE, IF YOU THINK SHE IS SO BAD WHY DON'T YOU GET OF YOUR ASS AND PLAY ALASKA. WHY SHOULD YOU TRASH TALK THIS GIRL FROM YOUR COMPUTER WHEN THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK TWEETED THIS AND SAID IT ROCKED. IF THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK LIKED IT THEN YOU CANNOT TALK. THANKS. HAVE A GOOD LIFE.

JUST KIDDING.

GET A LIFE FIRST.

[101CriticMovie]

I HAVE LIKE TWELVE THINGS TO SYA TO EVERYONE (MOSTLY). BASICALLY ALASKA IS AMAZING. ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK SHE IS GOOD CANNOT SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SPELL. WHEN YOU LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND CAN CORRECTLY FORMULATE A SENTENCE PAST "SHE WUZZZ BADDDDYYY" THEN YOU CAN TALK. ACTUALLY EVEN THEN YOU CAN'T TALK. I THINK THIS GIRL IS PROBABLY LIKE THE MOST AMAZING ACTRESS EVER. SHE CAN PROBABLY SING LIKE A DREAM AND DANCE LIKE AN ANGEL. WHICH MAKES HER THE ANGLE OF YOUR DREAMS.

[diimees]

@101CriticMovie By saying she portrayed Alaska well you have insulted Alaska. Boo you.

[Jennybabz]

Good try keep up the work

[AsiaCullen]

Hmm. I never thought of The Colonel as having a Southern accent.

[OwlWithNoTree]

At :34 I can totally see the reflection of the camera.

[thatnerdgirl2012]

Although Alaska's character was a bit chipper, I thought Pudge was portrayed wonderfully.. Gave me chills... Wow..

[1joy453]

I'm reading the book. Amazing.

[vidkid42]

Alaska's awfully chipper. But this is well made.

[TactownGirl]

Well.... The video recording, editing, everything about this video was grate! Except the acting.. .the acting was...piss poor at best.

[Iheartdogdemons]

That Alaska was awful. lmao. So awful.

[zeedentist]

I know these people must have read the book but they look like they haven't and they're just taking the piss,...

[Harmonraab]

@zeedentist Erm, maybe not the alaska.."actress"

[geexninjaaa]

that isn't alaska.

let alone a good actor.

[Alaskaloha21]

That Alaska SUCKS reaaaaaalllllyyyyyy badly

[gomika]

hahahahahah, this Alaska is like channeling those movie stars from the 1940s. being all coquettish and charming~ "oh dear!!" hahaha. a little mae west, a little bette davis. doesnt work well in this context but still amusing.

[BLueBiirdx3]

this is so not alaska ...

[starpower397]

wow... alsaka is um... yeah...

[MNBTM]

this girl reminds me of those very stereotypical girls who did theatre in high school, and every character they act like is exactly the same... sigh.

[Nerdfighterian]

It's not so much a trailer, as it is a synopsis.

[TheSarahSideofThings]

Why would you put a spoiler in a trailer?

[InTheClosetSinger]

Woah. Calm it down, Alaska. Too energetic.

[VideoCult1]

this reminds me of twilight. and that is NOT a good thing.

[lapoppy22]

She doesn't look sleepy at all...

[TheCONNORCO]

This is really good. My only complaint is Alaska is too happy and energetic. Also, you may want to say (Contains Spoilers).

[DesiringFuture]

Alaska is waaaaaaaaay too cheery.

[MinecraftWithMat]

if only there would be a real movie.

[tati13221]

Hs joun green sean this he would be so i dont even now i just thing he wont like this

[iEatedDaCookiez]

If this is a real movie trailor.... i am in heaven. :)

[pixeltastic]

@iEatedDaCookiez it's clearly not a real movie trailer lol. ignoring the fact it says fan made, it LOOKS fan made. nothing professional about it.

[susankohistany]

shit. The Colonel looks like the guy from Foster the people

[delusionistas]

somewhat mediocre acting aside, i thought this was pretty quality, nicely edited, nicely written, i really liked it!

[HaShomeret]

I like Miles, he's tall and awkward. I like Alaska, her chipperness makes the line about cigarettes all the more creepy.

[tnkimful]

where is takumi :\

[DatedRose]

I do not like....nothing seems not badly acted...i love this book.

[apric0tpie]

this girl needs to be slapped

[outfitmadeofawesome]

people are stupid. I'm sorry they're saying your alaska is wrong. You can't standardize someone's personal experiences reading a book. Looking for alaska is a book, and also a work of fiction, alaska doesn't exist and everyone is intitled to their own interpretation of her. Just because many of you see her as a depressed being, doesn't mean that's how she read to everyone.

[Bookgasmic]

I also appreciate the effort put into this...but all the 'actors' were completely wrong for the roles. And you should really also put up a BIG spoiler alert since you basically give everything away.

[thatkidwithabook]

She is so happy... Why? The guy was good. The girl was... cheerful (for lack of a better word)

[aabigailsmithh]

This chick...way too chipper to be Alaska. Seriously.

[azpa714]

I feel the need to sit "Alaska" down and talk to her about the book.

[poprox219]

why is there snow in ALABAMA?

[Aug9nblick]

@poprox219 Hahahaha

[faint4Xx]

why do you all hate alaska^^

[mman4441]

Talk about "Read it first."

[BookLover143]

I quite liked it besides the actors, they weren't very good but great job anyway other than that I love it

[godessshannon]

I quite like it :D

[godessshannon]

I quite like it =D

[marriyumh]

Like, the video quality is good and all, but like all the actors are not very good and Alaska... Like oh God. She's just completely crap.

[afish1100]

happy hannukah anyone?

a for effort, acting not so much...

[CoolbeansxDD]

lol everything was going good, until alaska.....omg xO

[atinb]

Nice attempt ya'll. btw if this wins academy awards...gotta be for best scene 4:18.

:P

[gamesformark]

lol

[funnypantsproduction]

no takumi?

[letterstoalice]

@funnypantsproduction Takumi = Aaron Yoo. Miles = Freddie Highmore/ Devon Bostick/ Aaron Johnson. Alaska = Hayden Panettiere/ Ariana Grande/ Michelle Trachtenberg/ Kristin Kreuk. HELP ME SPREAD ITTTTTTTT. HAHA

[cupcakes1348]

uh... did you forget to take the lid off of the champagne bottle?

[thatamandmals]

They should have choose an Alaska that could play the roll better.....this one couldn't play it very good, she was too perky.

[ibrokethedam]

I feel like I could really play Alaska well. She kind of reminded me a lot of myself when I read the book.

This alasktress is manufacturing the energy that Alaska just naturally has in the book.

[upthehill449]

Snow in Alabama??

[DeidaraIsHot154]

I just now realized this is a fan-trailer (just read description) it's nice but could have been done a bit better -u-

[mrdaryls11]

did you guys ever film the whole thing

[cdowdinghopkins]

i have to look away but then i can't. quality comedy. also, drinking, you're doing it wrong. You generally have to take the lid off.

[15hcw01]

Well, this isn't horrible... The acting leaves much to be desired, especially Alaska.

[TheBarkingGnome]

0:33 Nice camera.

[masteradelheit]

these unbelievable ungly earrings

[BlahBlah42Lover]

That was pretty darn good. :)

[rawrjessitree]

WTF these actors suck! No offense ... But seriously ? What is with them

[cocotilia]

That don't look like no Alabama

[mandarightnow]

and she can't pronounce labyrynth.

[aceandalsostuff]

@mandarightnow and you can't spell it, to be fair. so you're not exactly in a better position...

[mandarightnow]

this alaska is so bad...

[faint4Xx]

@mandarightnow ?? hwat the hell

i think she plays alaska really good

[Xxnyx07]

AHAHAHAAHHA omg I just died laughing thank you.

[JacobMerlinAvery]

@Xxnyx07 i know its very funny, i loled out me ARSE

[LongWalksInDecember]

THE GUY WHO PLAYS CHIP AT 3:40

LOLOLOL. oh god that's exactly what i imagined the moment being like.

[maryestherlovesyou]

This is the worst trailer I've ever seen in my life. I hope that "Alaska" was also trying to be...ironic.

[xMaakasux]

@maryestherlovesyou its a student made trailer, instead of disrespecting his/her work appreciate it because you probably couldn't produce anything near its quality, and if you can, post a video response. i'd like to see it.

Did anyone else notice the cameraperson in the car window at 0:33 ?
