John Green’s book, “Looking for Alaska,” is currently in talks to be adapted into a film by Sarah Polley. Paramount Pictures would oversee the adaptation which would be produced by Mark Waters and Jessica Tuchinsky via their watermark Pictures banner.

The film rights for the book were first purchased back in 2005. At that point it even has a script that was written by Josh Schwartz but somehow it ended up being lost in the Hollywood oblivion.

But with the incredible box office success of the film adaptation of Green’s novel, The Fault in Our Stars, the studio is now interested in the project once again. Funny how that works isn’t it?

“Looking for Alaska” is inspired by Green’s personal school experiences. It follows a boy who entered boarding school where social classes engage in pranks on one another. Alaska is a female student whom all the boys find beguiling but who is also dangerously reckless.

Polley is a well-known Canadian filmmaker whose works include Away From Her and Take This Waltz. She last made Stories We Tell, the award-winning documentary about her search for the truth behind her family.

She will reportedly also write the script for Alaska.
