Go Behind-The-Scenes With ‘Divergent’ Featurette!

Hoping to be the next blockbusting Young Adult franchise and follow the same meteoric-grossing style as the TWILIGHT and HUNGER GAMES series, Veronica Roth’s novel adaptation could be just that. Director Neil Burger’s post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure follows a young women, played by rising beauty Shailene Woodley, as she becomes a target for a futuristic government determined in keeping the world population in distinct factions based on their personalities.

In a future world people are divided into factions based on personality —Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent)—, a teenager is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris, and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together, they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes-fascinating, sometimes-exasperating boy fits into the life she’s chosen. But Tris also has a secret: one she’s kept hidden from everyone, because she’s been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly-perfect society, she also learns that her secret might be what helps her save those she loves… or it might be what destroys her. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, her life is threatened.
