Fox 2000 Pictures, the 20th Century Fox subsidiary behind The Fault In Our Stars and Paper Towns, is making certain that no other John Green projects end up anywhere else in Hollywood. The studio and the massively popular young adult novelist have signed a first look producing deal.
The project was announced Tuesday, notes TheWrap. Green will produce projects with Temple Hill Entertainment’s Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen at Fox 2000.
Fox 2000 released The Fault In Our Stars last year, which became one of the top hits of 2014 with $304 million worldwide. Paper Towns is based on another Green novel and hits theaters on Friday. That film stars Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff.
“We are elated to expand upon our already extraordinary relationship with John and feel honored to be able to enhance our creative horizons together,” Fox 2000 president Elizabeth Gabler said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “He is truly a force of nature and we are proud to be part of his world.”
Unfortunately for Fox 2000, the next Green adaptation, Looking For Alaska, is being produced at Paramount, although Temple Hill is still involved.
