Shailene-Woodley-in-DivergentWith the rising young star Shailene Woodley at the core of the ensemble, the buzz surrounding Summit’s upcoming new young adult franchise, Divergent, has been swelling for months.

Due to hit cinemas in March next year, the film launched its first teaser trailer just a few days ago. And now the studio have released a new featurette, going behind the scenes of the film to talk a little about the different factions soon to be seen on the big screen.

DIVERGENT is a thrilling action-adventure film set in a future where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late.

Based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth.

Woodley is joined by a stellar ensemble, joined by Theo James, Miles Teller, Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney, Ashley Judd, Mekhi Phifer, Maggie Q, Zoe Kravitz, Ray Stevenson, Ansel Elgort, Christian Madsen, Amy Newbold, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, and Ben Lamb.

Neil Burger (Limitless, The Illusionist) is at the helm, with Evan Daugherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) and Vanessa Taylor (Game of Thrones) penning the script, based on the original best-selling novel by Veronica Roth.

Divergent will be released on March 21st, 2014, and all signs point to it being a big new franchise-starter for Summit. In the meantime, here’s the new featurette to catch up on what’s coming our way down the line.
