"The Fault in Our Stars" is based on the bestselling novel by John Green about two teenagers who meet in a cancer support group and fall in love. Elgort, who co-stars in Sony's remake of "Carrie," will soon begin negotiating for the role of Augustus "Gus" Waters. “I am by nature a cautious pessimist, but I’ll just say it: Now that we have Shailene and Ansel, I am completely, unreservedly psyched about this movie,” the author told EW. Boone was equally enthused, praising the actor's "humor, sensitivity, honesty and confidence."
