He immediately befriends his roommate, known as The Colonel (Denny Love), The Colonel’s friend Takumi (Jay Lee) and their friend Alaska (Kristine Froseth). The story, inspired by Green’s own high school experience, is intact: Miles Halter (Charlie Plummer) is restless in his hometown and heads off to boarding school seeking adventure, but the kind of adventure that anxious nerds seek - mostly adventurous reading and maybe a prank or two. YA literature gained a broader level of cultural respect, and teen TV conquered new genres and platforms - thanks in part to Green and Schwartz and Savage themselves.Īnd now the long-awaited “Looking For Alaska” adaptation has finally come to be, not as a feature film but as an eight-episode mini-series on Hulu, born into a world it already helped shape. Schwartz finished “The O.C.,” created “Chuck” and co-created “Gossip Girl” and half a dozen other shows with Stephanie Savage. Green wrote and co-wrote six other books, including the huge hit “The Fault In Our Stars,” and he amassed a tremendous vlog audience. The novel “Looking For Alaska,” by John Green, was published in 2005, and that same year Josh Schwartz, the creator of “The O.C.,” signed on to write and direct a feature adaptation.
