According to the Post-Gazette, the highly anticipated film adaptation of John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars will begin filming in Pittsburgh, PA later this summer.
The film, which is being directed by Josh Boone and is slated to begin shooting on Aug. 26, follows two terminally ill teenagers, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, who meet in a support group for children with cancer and fall in love. (If you haven’t read the book don’t let the topic deter you, it’s amazing!)
Pittsburgh will fill in for Indianapolis where the film is set. The movie will also be shot in Amsterdam, which plays an important role in the story.
Shailene Woodley is set to star as Hazel along with Ansel Elgort as Augustus. The movie will hit theaters in 2015.
Stay tuned for casting call information and an open thread where fans can discuss the movie’s filming locations in the coming weeks. If you have any scoop about Stars filming in Pittsburgh, let us know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
