After Hulu announced that it will adapt John Green?s 2005 novel Looking For Alaska for an eight-episode limited series, the author celebrated the news with a fan Q&A on Thursday, where he expressed his excitement that the 13-year journey of bringing the YA story to screen has resulted in a greenlight. ?I was very much included in conversations around how to do this. Should we try to restart the movie, which had stalled so many times? Or should we look to new ways of telling visual stories that made it possible to tell a bigger, sprawlier story?"
