everyone away (including me!) and she understands Margo profoundly. I am
so excited!" Mr. Green tweets in mid-September.This will be one of Cara Delevingne's first lead roles in a film. Cara Delevingne's audition for the role of Margo was outstanding
according to John Green (book author), "Cara Delevingne's audition blew

is because the movie "Blackfish" had made people rethink SeaWorld and
captivity. If the SeaWorld scene were in the movie, people would
possibly repent and the box office would be low. The screenplay writers
decided it would be best to not put the SeaWorld scene in. The movie will be released approx. 7 years after the novel was released.
