WOAH! I just read the book and was randomly searching for YouTube vids about it and get half-way through this and see Kenji! I wasn't expecting to see someone I knew in it. lol.
I'm from Toledo too, so I forgive the fact that you guys couldn't wear the proper clothing described in the books. ;) Haha, the weather is shit over here.
I know Paramount own the filmrights to Looking for Alaska but I wish they'd just got on and made the movie. (Actually I'd love to do my own version of it if I could). That's deffo a movie I would go see. It's one of my favorite books.
Really good trailer. I had chills. The editing was great, and I loved the choice of quotes from the book. The voiceover was well-written and I liked the voice. My only problem with the trailer was the acting. It just wasn't very good.
I finished the book today! it was a great book but i got really depressed because it made me think of when my mom passed away just a few months ago :(
@smilelaughgrin well i re read it (the part where he first saw her) and i didn't see anything about her hair but it could have been mentioned later on... i immanges it to be like a bleech blondish with a brown/black underneeth.
@kaak1212 that is a fairly correct hair color. When the boys go to the funeral she is in a mahogany coffin which Pudge expresses (through thought) is the same color of her hair
@Emmkaatieee looking for alaska the movie is coming out in 2013. john green has nothing to do with the production of it and the name has been changed to "famous last words" for copyright reasons. i saw an interview with john and he said something like "it wont be a disaster if the movie doesnt come out" and has repeated that it wont be good. lol :) well anyways thats all ive heard but im still gonna see it!!!
This was really good:) I just finished the book. Like literally 10 minutes ago. XD It. Was. Amazing. But in parts I did feel the need to cry my eyes out. .-.
anybody know where i can get some free pdfs of an abundance of katherines or/and paper towns? im low on money and desperate to read those after reading looking for alaska yesterday, which was amazing.
@danielkay1994 read paper towns. its so much better than an abundance of katherine. then will grayson, will grayson. but do u not have a library near you?
@makeorbreakgirlz yeah i read an abundance and didn't like it nearly as much as looking for alaska. i live in a little seaside town in england, so my local libary is pretty shite.
@iforget5 I think that whoever makes (Is making?) the movie could fit all that in to a pg-13 rating fine. The whole blow-job scene could be tastefully done, like Neil Burger did in "The Illusionist". Unless you actually want to see the whole thing... Then, yes, it would have to be R.
Also, looking at it from a producer's point, making it R would block out the leading demographic of John Green readers.
you probably should have done a few more takes, when you were laughing and stuff. but awesome job. Perfect representation of the book. and nice music choice
pretty good trailer. I love this book man I cried so hard the first time I read it then read it three more times after that, it went straight to the top of my fave books, surpassing a book that has been my favorite for 9 years lol.
Very nice and well-put together. I like the use of narration. But, nit-picky though I am, I'm just gonna say that the lines were a little rushed, and quite obviously the lines of a book, as opposed to the way real people would say them in casual conversation, y'know? Other than that, cute. Ending scene was beautifully put-together.
WOAH! I just read the book and was randomly searching for YouTube vids about it and get half-way through this and see Kenji! I wasn't expecting to see someone I knew in it. lol.
