Book excerpt: Based on a young adult novel with a fan base comparable to Beatlemania, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS wildly outperformed its own studio's box office estimates with a $48 million opening weekend, going on to become the highest grossing teen romance outside the TWILIGHT franchise and one of the most profitable movies of 2014. Its success has boosted demand in Hollywood for young adult fare that favors real life issues over vampires and dystopian governments. ScripTipps analyzes the successful tearjerker's screenplay adaptation by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber ((500) DAYS OF SUMMER) scene by scene, from beginning to middle to end.

Discover screenwriting secrets by deconstructing the movies you love. ScripTipps are tools to improve your screenwriting, not rules you must slavishly follow.
