British model Cara Delevingne just landed her first lead role in a major film, having been cast as Margo Roth Spiegelman in the movie adaptation of John Green's bestselling novel Paper Towns.

Delevingne will be starring alongside Nat Wolff, who played Isaac in the adaptation of another popular John Green novel that debuted this summer, "The Fault In Our Stars."

Directed by Jake Schreir ("Robot & Frank"), "Paper Towns" tells the story of a young woman named Margo (Delevingne) and her neighbor Quentin "Q" Jacobsen (Wolff) who discover the body of a man who committed suicide as young children. The two childhood friends grow apart over time and don't reconnect until Margo shows up outside Q's bedroom window, asking him to help her exact revenge on everyone that has hurt her.

Slated for a July 2015 release, the film's script will be written by Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter - the same pair that wrote the screenplay for "The Fault In Our Stars."
