The 20-year-old actor, who was most recently seen in James Franco's indie flick Palo Alto, told the audience he read Paper Towns after a producer on The Fault in our Stars encouraged him to. "I love Paper Towns the most of all John's books but I feel you get the same experience reading the book as watching the movie," Wolff proselytized. "I am more likely to tell to make stuff less like the book than more like the book - I'm concerned with capturing the themes." "I don't feel ownership, I just want it to be a good story," Green told the crowd, many of whom raised their hands when asked if they had read the novel more than once. Readers hoping for paperback veracity must settle for simulacrum, says Green. The author himself earned $9 million last year thanks to book sales bolstered by the movie, and is on track to make far more in 2015 when we tally numbers for the top-earning authors later this year. Green is surely hoping Paper Towns places similarly at the box office: The Fault in our Stars grossed $307 million on a $12 million budget, producing a runaway success for studio 20th Century Fox.
