"Turtles All the Way Down" Director Hannah Marks Previews the Long-Awaited John Green Adaptation
When John Green's "Turtles All the Way Down" was released in 2017, the young-adult novel was an instant bestseller, topping the New York Times list. It stayed there for over a year, with the "The Fault in Our Stars" author announcing during that time that the movie was in development. The long-awaited adaptation was filmed in 2022, and director Hannah Marks teased the project just a little bit to POPSUGAR. "'Turtles All the Way Down' is an incredible book," she said while promoting her movie "Don't Make Me Go." "First and foremost, I love the book by John Green, and the movie really stays true to the book in so many ways. I think we really worked hard on making it a faithful adaptation."
