To prep fans for the latest _Paper Towns_ trailer, Green and stars Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff teased its release with [Instagram videos](https://instagram.com/p/3Wgtsej2vZ/?taken-by=johngreenwritesbooks "undefined") counting down the days to its debut during Tuesday’s _Pretty Little Liars_ premiere. While nothing terribly groundbreaking can be seen in the new trailer, it did give the story a more lighthearted spin. Fans get to see Wolff’s comedic side, the funny relationship between his closest friends Radar (Justice Smith) and Ben (Austin Starling) and, of course, his ongoing obsession with Margot Roth Spiegelman. While Smith’s character cracks some jokes in the latest scenes, a key element of the book is missing: his parent’s [black Santa](https://twitter.com/johngreen/status/587384559890759680?lang=en "undefined") collection, which readers are itching to see. The movie hits theaters July 24. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3906946/john-green-new-paper-towns-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3906946/john-green-new-paper-towns-trailer/"},"headline":"The New Paper Towns Trailer is Full of Bromance and Romance","datePublished":"2015-06-03T14:39:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:51:46.338Z","description":"\"It's not a party if there's a tuba\"","url":"https://time.com/3906946/john-green-new-paper-towns-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8ab154cdaa3f1339/698852c3cd684856f40a027f/papertowns1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"ashley Ross","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-ross/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8ab154cdaa3f1339/698852c3cd684856f40a027f/papertowns1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"paper towns movie","caption":"paper towns movie","creditText":"IMDB","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3906946/john-green-new-paper-towns-trailer/","name":"The New Paper Towns Trailer is Full of Bromance and Romance"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Top 5 Domestic Grossing Young Adult Novel Film Adaptations","description":"Top 5 Domestic Grossing Young Adult Novel Film Adaptations","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/GOoxcojn/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-21T18:14:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/GOoxcojn.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3906946/john-green-new-paper-towns-trailer/","duration":"PT2M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3906946/john-green-new-paper-towns-trailer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
