Casting News: Sam Trammell is Hazel's father in TFIOS

From The Wrap: 

"True Blood" Sam Trammell is set to play Shailene Woodley's father in Fox's "The Fault in Our Stars," TheWrap has learned.

Josh Boone ("Stuck In Love") is directing the adaptation of John Green's bestselling novel.

Story follows two cancer-stricken teens who strike up a romantic relationship as they face an uncertain future.

Ansel Elgort, who plays Woodley's brother in "Divergent," co-stars as her love interest Augustus, while Nat Wolff has just closed a deal to play his best friend Isaac.

Laura Dern is set to play Woodley's mother, as TheWrap first reported.

"Twilight" producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen are producing through their Temple Hill banner. "(500) Days of Summer" screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber adapted the novel.

Production starts later this month in Pittsburgh.

Trammell, who plays bar owner Sam Merlotte on HBO's "True Blood," will soon be seen opposite Virginia Madsen in the indie "Crazy Kind of Love." He just booked a role as a junkie in the gritty indie movie "The Aftermath" and also has "Things People Do" and the comedy "Me" awaiting release.

Trammell is repped by Innovative Artists, Untitled Entertainment and Parseghian Planco.

Josh Boone talks to Collider about TFIOS casting

TFIOS director Josh Boone recently talked to Collider about his first movie 'Stuck in Love' and also answered a few questions about TFIOS. Check out the rest of the very interesting interview at the source!!

Collider: Now that you’re set to start production on The Fault in Our Stars, are you getting more excited or nervous about shooting that?

BOONE: I can’t wait! That’s the fun part. Writing, for me, is the part that I dread. I really enjoy the process where you dream up the script. When I actually get in the room and have to write, I just want to get the hell out of that room. I go every day and try to write my way out of that room, so that I can go work with the actors. The part that’s fun is going and hanging out with everybody, and making a movie.

Collider: Audiences are getting more and more familiar with Shailene Woodley and what she’s capable of, as an actress. But, what was it about her that caught your attention and made you want her for the film?  

BOONE: She was the first person that made me cry. I’d seen so many girls, and I was just really moved. I knew within maybe a minute and a half, after she started doing it. I had met her and had a dinner with her, and she was the nicest, most outgoing, coolest person, but I was like, “She doesn’t really seem like Hazel.” But then, she came in and she was Hazel. She was a completely different person, with the physicality and everything. It was pretty amazing to see. I was just blown away by her.

Collider: How challenging was it to then find an actor to play Augustus, opposite her?

BOONE: That was really challenging, and that involved a lot of chemistry reads between her and a lot of different guys to find the right combo that really felt like it worked.

Collider: What do you feel most excited about, in getting to bring that story to the screen for people? 

BOONE: I’m bringing a lot of music to the table. When I went to Fox to pitch my take on the movie, I brought a lot of music and a lot of song cues for specific moments, and I brought a lot of photographs in from photographers that I really like, that I thought captured the tone of the piece. I just love all of it. I told Scott [Neustadter] and Michael [Weber], who wrote the script and wrote 500 Days of Summer and The Spectacular Now that Shailene is in, that they did the hard part for me. I get to go do the fun part.   

Josh Boone reveals that Isaac & one other character has almost been cast

A blogger for PageToPremiere recently met Josh Boone, director of the movie, at a screening for his first movie "Stuck in Love" and tried to find out some things about TFIOS. This is what he had to say:

I tried to pry a little more information from Boone, but he could not say much for legal reasons. The biggest hint he dropped was mentioning they are close to casting the role of Isaac and another character. Boone spoke highly of author John Green, who he speaks to frequently about the movie’s progress. He also mentioned they want to involve the Green as much as possible, but he is not an overbearing presence in the process. Boone also praised the screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who co-wrote (500) Days of Summer and The Spectacular Now, and Nat Wolff agreed TFIOS script is great.

Sounds exciting! Also we're very glad John Green is very involved in the making of the movie.
We'll see who it will be. Just last week Nat Wolff hinted that he may be in negotiations for the role of Isaac.

Will Nat Wolff be our Isaac?

He hints so in an interview to MTV, where he also talks about his latest movie "Stuck in Love" (directed by Josh Boone).

“It was really great. The script is really great,” Nat said of auditioning for the lead role. “Josh Boone, who did ‘Stuck in Love,’ is directing the movie,I think I might—it’s still in negotiations—but I might be playing another role in the movie. [We're] still figuring it out.I’d love to be a part of it, just to work with Josh, and it’s a cool story.”
