A new trailer for the film adaptation of John Green’s bestselling young adult novel “The Fault in Our Stars” shows more of the upcoming film.

Protagonist Hazel (Shailene Woodley), who has been diagnosed with cancer, describes her life at the beginning of the clip: “Doctor’s appointments, reality shows – worst of all, support groups.”

Actor Mike Birbiglia, who portrays support group leader Patrick, plays a song on his guitar before asking Hazel solicitously, “Hazel, how are you doing?”

“You mean besides the cancer? All right, I guess,” she replies. 

The clip also shows more interaction between Hazel and Gus, a boy who she meets at the support group. They are chatting and getting along until she’s aghast when he takes out a cigarette.

“You just ruined this whole thing!” she says. “You were doing really well, too.”

Check out the full trailer.

“Fault” opens on June 6.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
