Remember that magic moment in Cameron Crowe's Say Anything, when John Cusack's Lloyd Dobler stands on his love's lawn, Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes blaring from the boombox? James Ponsoldt, director of The Spectacular Now definitely does. Ponsoldt told the L.A. Times:
Ponsoldt is hoping he can impact today's teens in a similar way, hoping that today's ya audiences will be hooked on his screen adaptation of Tim Tharp's The Spectacular Now, the ya novel about a hard partying guy who falls for a nice girl."It changed my life when I saw it, it genuinely did," Ponsoldt said of the 1989 cult favorite. "I totally fell in love with Diane Court [Ione Skye]. I had the poster on my wall. I was hooked."
Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller |
Woodley has a trio of films coming out in the next several months so chances are we'll all get to know her a bit better; a year or so younger than Jennifer Lawrence, she may give The Hunger Games star a run for her money with the release of Divergent, based on the popular Veronica Roth novel, next March. Her leading man in The Spectacular Now, Miles Teller, is Peter in Divergent. And Ansel Elgort, who plays Woodley's brother in Divergent is Gus to Woodley's Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars, currently shooting. It's a small small world.
