The new Divergent movie arriving in theatres on March 21st, 2014, has this week released a full-length trailer to whet your appetite before the film’s worldwide release.
Divergent takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic version of Chicago and is based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth.
“In a futuristic Chicago, people are divided into five distinct factions based on their personalities. Beatrice “Tris” Prior discovers that she is Divergent, meaning she does not fit into any one faction, and soon uncovers a sinister plot brewing in her seemingly perfect society. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late.”
The World of Divergent
The world of Divergent is a richly imagined dystopian society where humanity is divided into five factions: Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave), and Erudite (the intelligent). Each faction upholds a specific virtue, and citizens are expected to conform to the values of their chosen faction. At the age of 16, individuals must take an aptitude test that helps determine which faction they are best suited for, but ultimately, the choice is theirs to make.
Tris Prior, the protagonist, faces a unique challenge as she discovers she is Divergent, meaning she does not fit neatly into any one faction. This revelation sets her on a path of self-discovery and resistance against a society that seeks to eliminate those who do not conform.
Cast and Crew
Divergent is produced by Lucy Fisher, Pouya Shabazian, and Douglas Wick, with a screenplay by Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Shailene Woodley as Tris Prior, Theo James as Tobias “Four” Eaton, Zoë Kravitz as Christina, Ansel Elgort as Caleb Prior, Maggie Q as Tori, Jai Courtney as Eric, Miles Teller as Peter, and Kate Winslet as Jeanine Matthews.
Shailene Woodley, known for her roles in “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Big Little Lies,” brings depth and nuance to the character of Tris. Theo James, who gained fame from his role in “Underworld: Awakening,” portrays the enigmatic and strong-willed Four. The supporting cast, including the talented Kate Winslet, adds further gravitas to the film, making it a must-watch for fans of the book series and newcomers alike.
The film’s production design and visual effects bring the dystopian world of Divergent to life, creating a visually stunning and immersive experience. The action sequences are meticulously choreographed, and the film’s score, composed by Junkie XL, enhances the emotional and dramatic moments throughout the story.
The Divergent series has garnered a massive following, and the film adaptation aims to capture the essence of Veronica Roth’s novels while adding its own cinematic flair. With its thought-provoking themes, compelling characters, and thrilling plot, Divergent promises to be a standout addition to the dystopian genre.
