With the success of the sequel to the science-fiction action-suspense movie “Divergent” titled “Insurgent” in March this year, pressure is on the producers to deliver on its promise to come up with the first of the two-part third movie also in the same month next year.
Apparently, production is on schedule as filming for the “Divergent: Allegiant” is now under way and Theo James and Shailene Woodley, along with the other cast members of the movie are back in the set to buckle down to work, reports Fashion & Style.
It is likely that the production team will film both the first and second part of the third movie in one sitting and will just divide it in a portion somewhere to make it two movies just like what was done with “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay” which was divided into parts 1 and 2 even though the filming was completed before the first part was released to theaters in November last year.
Some changes
While Theo James still looks exactly the same as the gorgeous hunk who filmed “Divergent” and “Insurgent” in 2013 and last year playing the role of Four, there’s a bit of change in Shailene Woodley, who plays Tris in the series.
Consistent with her two different hairstyles in both “Divergent” and “Insurgent,” Shailene Woodley would have again a different do for “Divergent: Allegiant” and it is going to be a short bob. In “Divergent,” Shailene had her hair long but in the sequel, she sported a pixie cut.
The movie is now filming with a working title “Element” and is due to hit worldwide theaters on March 18, 2016. The second part already has a playdate of March 24, 2017.
Changed a lot in a good way
British actor Theo James says that co-star Shailene Woodley has blossomed into a woman since they started filming the “Divergent” movie series about three years ago, indirectly admitting that he finds her attractive.
In a recent interview, James said that Woodley has changed a lot but in a good way and it all happened so fast because they just met a couple of years ago or even less.
He said that he was just a newbie then while Shailene just came from filming for “Spectacular Now,” and what follows was their great on-cam chemistry for the blockbuster hit “Divergent” shown last year playing Four and Tris respectively, notes Classicalite.
It was subsequently followed by the equally successful sequel titled “Insurgent” that had fans asking for more of their teamup.
The chemistry between Theo James and Shailene Woodley onscreen is so obvious that some fans of the series have insinuated that the two may be onto something in their private lives.
Theo James and Shailene Woodley eventually quashed those rumors as the two of them have their respective relationships. British actor Theo James has his girlfriend Ruth Kearney while Shailene Woodley is going out with Nahko Bear.
