One after the other young adult film adaptation hits the box offices. Right now everyone is more than excited about Mortal Instrument: City of Bones, but a few days ago the first trailer of Divergent was launched. And yes, it can be said the movie is more than divergent by itself.
Although Mortal Instruments still sticks to our familiair vampires and werewolves, divergent follows into the footsteps of The Hunger Games. The latter already made us acquainted with a future we would rather not live in, but the Chicago displayed in Divergent is just as unpleasant. The story, written by Veronica Roth and first publishedi n 2011, follows Tris, who - of course - has always been an outsider. She does not fit in and this is once more confirmed on 'Choosing Day'. The future citizens of Chicago are divided into five factions, each one representing a particular virtue: Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave), and Erudite (the intelligent). When reaching the age of sixteen one has to take a test that will decide which faction one belongs to. Beatrice, however, does not belong to any of the factions, she is Divergent and that's strictly forbidden!
Divergent stars Shailene Woodley as Tris. Yes, one of the girls we used to know from The O.C. and who later took on the lead role in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Interesting? Promising? Time will tell.
