Her parents ( Laura Dern and Sam Trammell, with whom she shares some lovely, honest moments) try not to hover over their daughter as she attempts to maintain some vague semblance of teenage life, and they even share her fondness for using dark humor to defuse difficult moments.
The fault in our stars movie coming out trial#
While her situation looked bleak a few years ago, participation in a new drug trial has prolonged her life for an indefinite amount of time. It weakens her lungs, forcing her to drag an oxygen tank behind her wherever she goes and to stop to rest after climbing a flight of stairs. Woodley stars as Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old Indianapolis girl who’s diagnosed with cancer at 13. Her work is so strong, it makes you wish she had a better performance to play off of to create the sparky chemistry at the heart of this story. Following winning turns in the indie dramas " The Descendants" and "The Spectacular Now," and the blockbuster " Divergent," Woodley continues to cement her accessible and likable on-screen persona. Still, Shailene Woodley’s abiding, disarming naturalism consistently keeps you engaged. But while the flip, jaunty verbosity they use as a shield produces some pleasingly acerbic humor, it often feels forced and false in this setting. There’s a specificity to Green’s language his characters are hyper-verbal, self-aware and fiercely biting in the tradition of " Heathers" and " Clueless." They know all too well that pop culture depicts cancer-especially young people with cancer-in a mawkish manner that they refuse to accept as they regard their own conditions.

Love and joy and romance are not just things reserved for the well." Shailene, who fought hard for the role of Hazel, has said she had a "strong response" against the 'One Sick Love Story' tagline, although the book's author has come out in its defence saying: "I like the tagline because it says, literally, the sick can also have love stories. Unfortunately, there has already been some controversy surrounding the film's poster, below. What follows is a pretty heartbreaking glimpse into the film, which we can already guess it not to be viewed without a bumper pack of Kleenex. "One day I'm going to blow up and I'm going to obliterate everything in my wake and I don't want to hurt you." "Gus, I'm a grenade," Hazel tells Augustus at one point. However, a voiceover from Hazel's character quickly reveals that all is not as perfect as it seems. The trailer opens with the two lead characters, played by Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, playing out the typical Hollywood romance. The movie, based on a best-selling novel by John Green, tells the story of Hazel, a terminally ill cancer patient who falls in love with Augustus, a fellow teen from her support group. We're off to do a repair job on our mascara after watching the trailer for upcoming film The Fault In Our Stars, due to be released in June.
