New Divergent Trailer and Poster – Shailene Woodley & Theo James bid for young adult adaptation success

November 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Young adult adaptations have been very popular in Hollywood since the success of Twilight, but with the exception of Hunger Games, they’ve nearly all failed. One that many have high hopes for however is Divergent, which seems to be trying to suggest it’ll be a slightly different kind of film, with this new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Divergent is a thrilling action-adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (Shailene 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.’ The likes of Theo James, Kate Winslet, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, and Jai Courtney also star.

Divergent arrives in US cinemas March 21st and UK cinemas April 4 2014.

Summit is hoping that Divergent will be its young adult replacement for the Twilight franchise, and as they did with their earlier hit, they’re started the promotion early in the hope of getting fans of the novels excited. We’ve already had a few pics from the film, and now another one has shown up – although I’m hoping the whole movie isn’t quite as beige as this.

The other person in the pic is Ansel Elgort, who plays Tris brother, Caleb Prior. They both become part of the both part of the Abnegation faction, and this appears to be part of their selection of training.

The Spectacular Now Trailer – Miles Teller & Shailene Woodley fall in love

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


James Ponsoldt’s film The Spectacular Now has been getting pretty good reviews after festival screenings, and now we get our first look with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) lives in the now. It’s a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he’s the life of the party, loves his job at a men’s clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he’s never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified thirst-master cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky (Shailene Woodley) hovering over him. She’s different: the “nice girl” who reads science fiction and doesn’t have a boyfriend. While Amy has dreams of a future, Sutter lives in the impressive delusion of a spectacular now, yet somehow, they’re drawn together.’

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Bob Odenkirk, Kyle Chandler, and Brie Larson also star. [Read more…]

Mary Jane Watson Cut From The Amazing Spider-Man 2

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

shailene-woodleyWhile Mary Jane Watson wasn’t in The Amazing Spider-man, she was supposed to be in the sequel, with Descendants star Shailene Woodley taking the role. However it now appears her scenes have been cut.

Entertainment Weekly recently spoke with actress Woodley about her role in the upcoming YA adaptation Divergent, and it was actress herself who revealed that she has been bumped from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She says, “Of course I’m bummed. But I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason….based on the proposed plot, I completely understand holding off on introducing (Mary Jane) until the next film.”

Woodley’s role in the movie was only going to be small – indeed she only shot for three days on the movie – leading into an expanded role in Amazing Spider-man 3.

Director Marc Webb comments, “I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship. Shailene is an incredibly talented actress, and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her.”

While the character of Mary Jane Watson is still expected to appear in the third adventure, it appears she may be recast and that Woodley is out. Indeed, some are speculating that with Sony wanting Spidey movies in 2014, 2016 and 2018, potential conflicts with Woodley’s schedule on Divergent and any sequels to that movie are behind why she’s been dropped from the second Spider-man film and will be recast for the third and fourth. We’ll have to wait and see whether Woodley does indeed get replaced.

Ansel Elgort Joins Shailene Woodley In The Fault in Our Stars

May 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ansel-elgortAfter beating out the likes of Brenton Thwaites, Nat Wolff, Nick Robinson and Noah Silver for the role, Ansel Elgort has been chosen for the male lead in The Fault in Our Stars, according to Variety.

The movie will reteam Elgort with his Divergent co-star Shailene Woodley. Elgort will play Augustus ‘Gus’ Waters, a former basketball player who lost his leg to cancer and meets Woodley’s character in a cancer support group. The two unsurprisingly begin to fall for one another.

Josh Boone is on board to direct the adaptation based on John Green’s book, which shoots later this year.
