Looking for Alaska wasn't written to be made into a movie
Dear John Green Fans and dear John Green!
This petition was created to stop the Looking for Alaska movie. You might ask why we don't want that wonderful book to be made into a movie- well, that's easy to explain.
Books aren't written to be made into movies, especially THIS book.
Alaska is such an incredible, complex, wild and special character, it's simply not possible to find an actress that could portray such a girl. She's different for everyone, and she surley means something different to every reader, something inexplicable. And we don't want that own picture of Alaska to be destroyed by a movie. Because that's what happens everytime when a book is made into a movie- it's impossible to keep our own fantasy when it gets mixed up with real faces and people. Just try to remember Harry Potter how he looked to you before Daniel Radcliffe played him- it's impossible, isn't it? And isn't that just unbelievably sad? Be honest - do you really need a movie? Because we think you definitely don't.
If you think Alaska should stay in our heads and hearts as our own, perfect, free Alaska, please sign this petition and help us! THANK YOU!
Oh, and Mr. Green, if you should ever read this- this isn't against you. We admire your work and that's why we want to keep our own Alaska and maybe, as a great author and as a reader yourself, you'll understand us (I hope so!)
With the best regards -
Team Free Alaska
