As promised, today we received our very first look at the Divergent movie!
Our first look depicts Tris in the pivotal knife throwing scene. Unfortunately we don’t see Four, but we’re distracted by the fact that we’re finally seeing Tris!
The actress spoke to EW for their exclusive. “It’s a good group [of actors and actresses],” she says. “We’re hanging out on weekends, celebrating birthdays. Everyone just wants to get to know one another. It’s rare to get a big group together and not have any conflicts. It’s really kind of amazing.”
Shailene Woodley and Theo James are taking on the lead roles of Tris and Four. The book to film adaptation of Veronica Roth’s trilogy is a highly-anticipated project for readers and movie studio Summit-Lionsgate, who hope this will be their next The Hunger Games franchise.
Roth said last week that when she visited the set, she got to see this scene be filmed.
Other cast members include Kate Winslet as Jeanine, Ansel Elgort as Caleb, Miles Teller as Peter, Ray Stevenson as Marcus, Christian Madsen as Al, and Ben Lloyd-Hughes as Will. Tris’ parents were the last roles to be cast. Scandal actor Tony Goldwyn will play her father, and Ashley Judd will play her mother.
It has been a big month for fans of the Divergent trilogy. Earlier this month, Roth unveiled the title of book three: Allegiant. The third and final tome in her trilogy will hit store shelves this October and is expected to make a splash for booksellers.
Divergent opens in theaters March 21, 2014 and is currently filming in Chicago.
