Fans of "The Fault In Our Stars" author John Green will have something to be excited about. The Young Adult genre writer, whose books have been adapted into motion feature films, has recently closed a deal with Fox 2000 for more projects in the future.
The deal will see Green as a producer on several projects, presumed to be based on his written works, noted The Hollywood Reporter.
Fox 2000 president Elizabeth Gabler made the announcement regarding the partnership with the author on Tuesday.
"We are elated to expand upon our already extraordinary relationship with John and feel honored to be able to enhance our creative horizons together," Gabler said in a statement, as quoted by Variety. "He is truly a force of nature and we are proud to be part of his world."
The contract stipulates that Green will work and collaborate closely with Temple Hill Entertainment and its principals Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey on numerous projects.
The "Paper Towns" author has already worked with Temple Hill. The company was the one behind the hit film series, "Twilight" as well as the Shaine Woodley and Ansel Elgort starrer, "The Fault In Our Stars," which was based on Green's book of the same name.
Fox, which released "The Fault In Our Stars" in 2014, earned more than $300 million in the box office worldwide.
The author's second book to be adapted for the big screen, "Paper Towns," will be out in theaters this weekend. Many expect the film, which features model Cara Delevigne and Nat Wolff, to be another success just like, "The Fault In Our Stars." The movie is also produced by Temple Hill.
"Paper Towns" follows the story of Margo Roth Spiegelman played by Delevigne and Quentin, which is portrayed by Wolff. The two have been close friends when they were younger until they drifted apart growing up and eventually reunited in their senior year, explained The Wrap.
Halston Sage, Cara Buono, Austin Abrams and Meg Crosbie all join Delevigne and Wolff in the cast of the upcoming romantic-comedy film about two teenagers and their different worlds. Elgort, who played the lead role in "The Fault In Our Stars," will also have a cameo in the movie.
After the second movie adaptation, fans of the author has another film to look forward to as Green has another book that is being developed for the big screen. Paramount is currently working on the author's novel, "Looking for Alaska," tentatively set for release in 2016.
