as “The Fault in Our Stars” — Green’s 2012 book that was adapted into a hit 2014 film starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort about a young couple with cancer — but the film never made it to production.
Back then, when Schwartz was still working on “The O.C.,” the duo decided to set the adaptation in 2005. In the Hulu series, Green’s characters can be seen watching the iconic early 2000s show for a splash of nostalgia, Schwartz says. He writes for teenagers who relate to Pudge, who would often forget he’s not “the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things,” in the novel.
They decided to cast black actor Denny Love to play Pudge’s best friend, Chip “The Colonel” Martin to inform some of the tension between his character and the wealthy students at the school. “He has to grapple with the reality that death is full of ambiguity. It's full of failure. It's full of guilt,” he says. “And these simple stories of last words, while they're very narratively compelling and fun, often just aren't the whole truth.”” have faced scrutiny for the way they handle death and mental illness. The “Looking For Alaska” team has worked hard to carefully portray these themes, Green says.
