She has begun distancing herself from her loves to protect them from the impact of her eventual death. Shailene Woodley, who impressed opposite George Clooney in The Descendants and has since risen to action fame with the Divergent series, stars as Hazel Grace, an eye rolling literature hound who must lug an oxygen tank everywhere she goes. They strike up an unlikely friendship then begin a halting courtship that ricochets between adventurous, childlike whimsy and dark-humored nihilism filled with a lot of broken laughter shouting back at a cruel and shared fate. Introduced as the studio’s “pride and joy” and what they consider their big, dramatic awards contender this year, The Fault in Our Stars is based on John Green’s young adult novel of the same name and follows two teen cancer patients who meet at an overly cheesy support group. We didn’t even know what was screening, the secret was that tight even among LIFF staffers who where kept in the dark, but we all turned in our cell phones to the security team-their task was to prevent any pirating of the film-and moved ourselves inside the theater at Perkins Rowe for a first look at something new.
I’d never watched a movie while a security officer, equipped with night vision goggles, stared me down like a SEAL Team 6 sniper, but such were the circumstances for the world premiere of The Fault in Our Stars at the Louisiana International Film Festival a few weeks ago. The Louisiana International Film Festival featured a secret, advance screening of The Fault in Our Stars, out in theaters on June 6.
