Allegiant (Blu-ray Review)

July 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Jeff Daniels, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort
Director: Robert Schwentke
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: July 11th 2016 (UK)

Poor old Divergent. Things started off well at the box office with the first movie, which helped Lionsgate decide they should expand their plans and turn the three books into four films. However, the second movie was slightly muted at the box office, and this one didn’t do well at all.

In Allegiant, Tris (Shailene Woodley) has opened the box, which suggests the city and its factions are part of an experiment, and that despite what they’ve been told, there is more to the world outside Chicago’s walls. Once out (despite many trying to stop them), Tris, Four (Theo James), her brother (Ansel Elgort) and Peter (Miles Teller), meet David (Jeff Daniels), the director of the experiment. He says they have been using Chicago and the factions to eventually find somebody genetically pure – the other people are defective – and that Tris may be that person. [Read more…]

November 15, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Allegiant-Character-Poster-slideDivergent returns early next year with Allegiant, which has now debuted its first full trailer, which you can watch below, along with taking a look at a couple of character posters.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The third installment of the blockbuster Divergent series franchise, ALLEGIANT takes Tris [Shailene Woodley] and Four [Theo James] into a new world, far more dangerous than ever before.

‘After the earth-shattering revelations of INSURGENT, Tris must escape with Four and go beyond the wall enclosing Chicago. For the first time ever, they will leave the only city and family they have ever known. Once outside, old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless with the revelation of shocking new truths. Tris and Four must quickly decide who they can trust as a ruthless battle ignites beyond the walls of Chicago which threatens all of humanity. In order to survive, Tris will be forced to make impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love.’

It’ll be in UK cinemas on March 10th, 2016.

September 15, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alligiant-teaser-poster-slideWhile Insurgent wasn’t as successful as its predecessor, Divergent, that hasn’t stopped plans to split the final book in the trilogy, Allegiant, in two films, which will now become The Divergent Series: Allegiant and The Divergent Series: Ascendant.

The makers will be hoping they find the box office success that slightly eluded this year’s Insurgent.

Allegiant in due in cinemas March 18 2016, and to help prepare us, the first teaser trailer has arrived.

The very brief official synopsis reads: ‘The next chapter in The Divergent Series sees Tris and Four venture over the wall to discover what remains of the rest of the world.’

Jeff Daniels Joins Divergent Series In A Key Role

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jeff-danielsJeff Daniels has left The Newsroom behind and following a bit of a hit with Dumb and Dumber To, he’s heading into teen action territory, as he’s signed up to star in the two-part conclusion to the Divergent series, Allegiant, according to THR.

Daniels is taking on a bit of a pivotal role, although if you don’t want to know how he fits into the world of fighting factions who don’t like those who straddle different personality types, you should stop reading now.

He’ll be David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, which set up the system where everyone is sorted into the factions of Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, and Candor. As you may have guessed, their motives in doing this may not have been totally altruistic.

The films will see Tris (Shailene Woodley) on the run and trying to figure out the mystery of the world she was born into. Allegiant: Part 1 will be out March 2016, with Part 2 coming a year later.

Naomi Watts Joins Divergent Sequels, Insurgent and Allegiant

June 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Naomi-WattsNaomi Watts hasn’t made many big mainstream movies since 2005’s King Kong, and when she has – such as the thriller Dream House – they haven’t done that well. It’s a smart move they to join the Divergent sequels, which are almost guaranteed to be a success when they’re released.

According to THR she’ll appear in Insurgent, Allegiant: Part 1 and Allegiant: Part 2 as Factionless leader Evelyn. Insurgent began production in Atlanta last week, so she’ll be stepping into the role very soon.

Insurgent will apparently shoot until Septmenber, as which point Watts will move on to Sea of Trees, where she’ll co-star with Matthew McConaughey and Ken Watanabe.

Shailene Woodley and Theo James are both back for Insurgent as Tris and Four. Their character are now on the run from the power-hungry Jeanine (Kate Winslet), attempting to unlock the mysteries of the past that could alter the future of their universe.

Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer and Octavia Spencer also star. Robert Schwentke is directing from a screenplay by Brian Duffield and Akiva Goldsman.
