Insurgent News: Divergent 2 Sequel Plot Teased by Shailene Woodley and Theo James
'Divergent' onscreen partners Shailene Woodley and Theo James are back together as Tris and Four in the upcoming film adaptation of Veronica Roth's novel, 'Insurgent'. This time, the bond between the two has grown stronger especially since they have decided to become faction-less and are both on the run against the Erudites.
In an exclusive interview with LA Times' pop culture blog Hero Complex, Woodley and Theo revealed that 'Insurgent' is surprisingly big in all sense of production, emotional, and is full of truth. Director Robert Schwentke had the cast and crew film in Atlanta during the Winter.
"Our director is different, the set design is different, the costumes are different. It feels much bigger. It's interesting because the movie feels bigger in tone and in image but in a scene it feels smaller. Some scenes feel like we're doing an indie film in a way because they're so full of truth," 22-year-old Shailene said.
Woodley also revealed that the upcoming sequel is emotional, but not in a cheesy way, as James would describe it. The 27-year-old actor emphasized that although everything about the film seems grander on the big screen, they were able to maintain that the crux of the story is escapism.
In terms of the directorial job, Woodley praised Schwentke for being persistent in finding the right balance between the scenes and the actors, "Until it has the right flow or the right tone, he won't move on and that's a big blessing in a big movie like this," Woodley said.
'Insurgent' premieres on March 20, 2015.
