Divergent is a 2014 American science fiction action film directed by Neil Burger, based on the novel of the same name by Veronica Roth. The film is produced by Lucy Fisher, Pouya Shabazian and Douglas Wick, with a screenplay by Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor. It stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer, Jai Courtney, Miles Teller, and Kate Winslet. The story takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic version of Chicago. Divergent was released March 21, 2014 in the United States. The film received mixed reviews from critics.

Plot

In a futuristic dystopian Chicago, people are divided into five "factions": Abnegation (selfless), Amity (peaceful), Candor (truthful), Erudite (intelligent) and Dauntless (brave), based on their personalities. Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) is in Abnegation, the faction that looks after the poor and the factionless, as well as running the government; though she has always been fascinated by Dauntless. Her father, Andrew (Tony Goldwyn) serves on the government along with the head of Abnegation, Marcus Eaton (Ray Stevenson).

Young citizens are tested using a serum to indicate which faction they should choose, but Beatrice is told that she has the attributes of several factions, which means that she is divergent. Since people who are divergent are considered threats to society, they can think independently and the government can't conform their thinking, Beatrice's test proctor Tori (Maggie Q) warns her that she must keep her true test results a secret. The next day at the choosing ceremony, Beatrice's brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) chooses Erudite, while Beatrice chooses Dauntless. Right after the ceremony, Beatrice meets Christina (Zoë Kravitz) and Al (Christian Madsen), two Candors who changed to Dauntless, and Will (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), a Erudite who changed to Dauntless. After three Dauntless tests in which Beatrice must jump from and onto a moving train and fall from a building into an unknown deep hole, Beatrice meets her instructors Eric (Jai Courtney), a rather tough member of Dauntless, and Four (Theo James). When Four asks for her name, Beatrice shortens it to "Tris".

Tris initially struggles in Dauntless training, but as it progresses she slowly improves. After being forced to fight with her enemy Peter (Miles Teller) and being hospitalized, Tris almost fails out of Dauntless, but rescues herself after playing a key strategic role in winning a capture-the-flag game.

After the physical stage of Dauntless training, the initiates are put into simulations in order to face their fears. Tris's divergence allows her to excel at these tests, but Four, who strikes up a relationship with Tris, warns her that she must conceal the true reason behind her success and solve the challenges in a more direct way as a Dauntless candidate would.

The next day, Tris visits her brother in Erudite, who explains to her that Erudite is planning to overthrow Abnegation and become the ruling faction. On her return to Dauntless headquarters, Tris is attacked due to her success in training, and Peter, Al, and Drew attempt to throw her into the chasm, but she is rescued by Four. The next day, Al pleads with Tris and begs for her forgiveness but Tris refuses calling him a "coward", Al then kills himself by jumping into the chasm. In preparation for Tris's final test, Four takes Tris into his fear simulations where she finds out his real name, Tobias, and he was from Abnegation, she also finds out his greatest fear is being abused by his father, Marcus Eaton. After the simulation, Four and Tris realize they have feelings for each other and share a kiss. When the day of the test comes, Tris passes, without revealing she is divergent. During the post-test celebration, the Dauntless are then injected with a yellow serum so that, as a security precaution, they can be tracked.

The next morning, Tris wakes up to realize the injection was actually a serum that Erudite is using to create a mindless army and are using the Dauntless to attack Abnegation. As Divergent people are unaffected, Tris and Four have to blend in. At Abnegation, Eric figures out that Four is not under the simulation, which leads to both him and Tris being caught and separated. Tris's mother Natalie (Ashley Judd) shows up and rescues Tris, but dies in the process. To stop Erudite from killing Abnegation, Tris, her father, brother, and Marcus attempt to sneak into Dauntless headquarters. Tris sees that Peter is not under the serum and orders him to take them to where the Erudite set up their operation. Her father sacrifices himself in a shootout. Tris goes in alone and finds Four, whom she is able to pull out of the attack simulation. Jeanine (Kate Winslet), leader of Erudite, is about to start the command that will make the army kill the Abnegation, but Tris stabs Jeanine in the hand with a throwing knife, gives her the serum used to control the army, and orders her to stop and delete the program, which she does. Tris, Caleb, Peter, Four, and Marcus then flee Dauntless on the train, intending to ride to the end of the tracks.

Production

Development

In March 2011, Summit Entertainment picked up the rights for Divergent with Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher's production company Red Wagon Entertainment. Neil Burger was announced as the director on August 23, 2012. Evan Daugherty, who co-wrote the screenplay with Vanessa Taylor, said, "I get hung up on the toughness of the movie but of equal importance is the love story between Tris and Four. It's inherently and inextricably linked to Tris' character journey. There will be plenty of sexual tension and chemistry, but it's important that all of that stuff doesn't just feel like it's thrown in, but that it all helps Tris grow as a character." Daugherty further added, "It's tricky because the book is a very packed read with a lot of big ideas. So, distilling that into a cool, faithful two-hour movie is challenging. Not only do you have to establish five factions, but you have to acknowledge that there's a sixth entity, which is the divergent, and you also have the factionless. So there's a world that really has to be built out for the big screen… the movie is going to do it a little more efficiently." Author Veronica Roth said about the script of the film: "Reading a script is a really interesting experience. I'd never read a script before. I was really impressed by how closely it stuck to the general plot line of the book."

Initially, the budget of the film was $40 million but later Lionsgate increased it to $80 million (which finally changed to $85 million) due to the success of The Hunger Games. Analyst Ben Mogil said, "Divergent is more similar to Hunger Games in that the company owns the underlying economics (i.e. production) and the budget (at $80) is more manageable."

Casting

On October 22, 2012 it was announced that Shailene Woodley had landed the lead role of Tris Prior. Lucas Till, Jack Reynor, Jeremy Irvine, Alex Pettyfer, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Ludwig and Luke Bracey were all considered for the role of Tobias "Four" Eaton. On March 15, 2013, it was announced that Theo James had been cast as Four.

Though James was 10 years older than the character when cast, Roth praised his casting "I was sure within seconds: this was 'Four', no question. Theo is able to capture 'Four's' authority and strength, as well as his depth and sensitivity." She also mentions the chemistry between him and Shailene: "He is a perfect match for Shailene's incredibly strong presence as Tris. I'm thrilled!" The producers said about his casting: "We took our time to find the right actor to fill the role of Four, and Theo is definitely the perfect fit. Veronica has crafted a truly iconic character in Four and we cannot wait to begin production and bring him and this story to life for millions of fans around the world."

Ray Stevenson, Jai Courtney and Aaron Eckhart were announced to be in talks to join the cast on March 15, 2013, Stevenson and Courtney joined the cast as Marcus Eaton and Eric, respectively. Kate Winslet was announced to be in talks on January 24, 2013. Later it was confirmed that she would portray Jeanine Matthews. Talking about playing the negative character for the first time, Winslet said, "I'm no idiot. The idea went through my head that I have never played a baddie before, I was almost kind of surprised." Since Winslet joined the filming late, she used that distance from her co-stars to appear aloof on the first day of her shoot. "I wanted to break it and say, 'It's OK, I'm really fun. I promise.' But I thought, just for today, I'd let them think that I am a complete bitch."

Filming

Filming began in Chicago in April 2013 and concluded on July 16, 2013. Virtually all production photography took place in Chicago; many of the interior locations were filmed at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios. Scenes for the "choosing ceremony" were shot at 17th Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago on East Wacker in downtown Chicago. Filming also took place at the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel; the entire area was treated with dirt and rust to appear more dystopian. Additional scenes were shot at 57th Street and Ellis Avenue near University of Chicago, at Federal Street where fake EL tracks were constructed and at Michigan Avenue.

For the Abnegation sector, the production team constructed the set on Wells Street in downtown Chicago. In late June, filming took place at 1500 S Western Avenue and 600 S. Wells Street, Chicago. In the last schedule, filming moved to the Chicago River and continued at Lake Street Bridge, Wacker Drive and LaSalle Street Bridge. Filming wrapped on July 16, 2013. However, on January 24, 2014, what is believed to be additional filming took place in Los Angeles and finished on January 26, 2014, which officially became the last day of shooting.

Post-production

Post-production work began after filming wrapped. On July 18, Summit and Lionsgate issued a joint statement announcing the film would be released in IMAX format: "We're delighted to continue our successful collaboration with IMAX, with whom we have already partnered on the global blockbuster Hunger Games and Twilight Saga franchises, and we're especially pleased that we can introduce our newest young adult franchise, Divergent, to the movie going public in the premium IMAX format that celebrates its status as a special and memorable event."

Music

The score for Divergent was composed by Junkie XL along with Hans Zimmer (who executive produced the album). They both have previously worked together on music of different films. The soundtrack for the film was chosen by music supervisor Randall Poster. The original soundtrack was released on March 11, 2014 while the Original Score of the film was released on March 18, 2014, by Interscope Records.

Critical response

Divergent has received mixed reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 40% rating based on reviews from 148 critics, with an average score of 5.8/10. The site's consensus states: "With an adherence to YA formula that undercuts its individualistic message, Divergent opens its planned trilogy in disappointingly predictable fashion." Metacritic gives the film a score of 48 based on reviews from 35 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences surveyed by Cinemascore were more receptive to the film, giving it a CinemaScore grade of "A". The survey group was 69% female and half of the audience was over 25.

IGN's Matt Patches gave it 5.8 out of 10, citing its similarities to other young adult films and contrived Dauntless plot line. He praised lead actors Theo James and Shailene Woodley's performances, stating that they "...add personality and physicality to the limp script they're acting out." Scott Mendelson of Forbes magazine echoed these sentiments, arguing that despite Woodley's excellent performance, the generic story reduced a large portion of the mythology to irrelevancy. Mendelson believed that the film will please the novel's fanbase.

Sequels

On May 7, 2013, Summit Entertainment revealed that a sequel, based on Insurgent, is already in the works. Brian Duffield, writer of Jane Got a Gun, has been hired to write the script. The sequel is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2015. The third film, based on Allegiant, is scheduled for March 18, 2016, and currently, it will not be split into two films. Neil Burger will not return for the sequels. On February 11, 2014, it was announced that Robert Schwentke will take Burger's place for the next installment.

On March 21, 2014, Lionsgate officially greenlit the film adaptation of Insurgent, expected to be released March 20, 2015.
