SHAILENE WOODLEY TO RECEIVE
CINEMACON FEMALE STAR OF TOMORROW AWARD
20TH CENTURY FOX TO RELEASE
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS ON JUNE 6, 2014
"With an award winning and awe inspiring performance opposite George Clooney in The Descendants, already under her belt Shailene Woodley has already proven that she is a rising star to watch in Hollywood,” noted Neuhauser. “With upcoming starring roles in 20th Century Fox’s The Fault In Our Stars” as well as Summit Entertainment’s Divergent series Woodley will be one young star to be reckoned with and we could not be more pleased to honor her with the ‘CinemaCon Female Star of Tomorrow Award.’”
The Fault in Our Stars, in theaters everywhere June 6, 2014 is about Hazel (Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort), two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional and a love that sweeps them on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. The Fault in Our Stars, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love. The film also stars Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, Nat Wolff, and Willem Dafoe. For more information on The Fault in Our Stars, visit fb.com/FaultinourStarsMovie or twitter.com/TheFaultMovie.
Woodley’s feature film debut in The Descendants earned her many accolades including a 2012 Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress, the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress along with a Golden Globe and Critics Choice award nomination. Most recently Woodley was seen in the critically acclaimed film The Spectacular Now, which she is nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her work, along with the Gregg Araki directed White Bird In A Blizzard. She can also be seen next month in Summit Entertainment’s Divergent.
