“If I did my job right, by the time you’re halfway through the film, you probably have forgotten that this character is going to die, and you are hopefully as caught up in his day-to-day challenges as he is” —

Brian Dannelly 

And this is going to hurt so much in the movie. You’ll be sitting there watching it and you’ll get caught up in the story and be rooting so hard for Carson to get into Northwestern and then oh wait, you remember, he can’t get in. Not to Northwestern or anywhere. Because he is dead. He’s dead.
