It’s not very common for a movie to have so little public information released about it so close before the official release date, but fans of “Divergent” who have been waiting for the sequel “Insurgent” have been kept in the dark for most of the production so far. However, the studio has decided to break their silence a few days ago, releasing the very first still image from the upcoming film, and teasing about the imminent release of its official trailer.
And now that the trailer has been released, discussions about the film are more active than ever. Fans got to saw Tris in a very peculiar fight sequence, in which she was battling against her own self. The character of Shailene Woodley is back for more action, and so are the rest of the original cast members, and from what has been shown publicly – as well as rumored – the new film is shaping up to put the familiar characters in even more breathtaking situations.
Tris and his friends are on the run from Winslet, leading them to the discovery of the Factionless, a group of people who have been hiding for a long time. Subsequently, they team up against their common enemy, and if any fans thought that peace was coming close around the end of the last movie, those illusions were completely shattered by the trailer. It seems that there will be a lot more fighting going on before things can even approach a stable state for the world of the “Divergent” series.
The first film set up the premise that being a “Divergent” is not only undesirable, but downright dangerous – and it seems that this theme will be continued and expanded on in “Insurgent”. According to the trailer, being a Divergent remains very hazardous, and there might be even more hidden dangers for the protagonists than the trailer initially shows. And of course, fans have been quick to start speculating on what those dangers could be, and how the world of the franchise could be evolved even further in the new installment.
There are still almost exactly three months until the film comes out, and fans have been hopeful that the studio will release some more information about it as the release date approaches. However, the likelihood of this has been getting slimmer and slimmer with each passing week, and it now seems more likely that the producers are trying to generate more hype through mystery. This approach has worked for some films before, but it can also backfire – which is why it’s expected that at least some more information will be given to the film’s fans around January or February.
