Summit Entertainment has released a photo from their big screen adaptation of Divergent. The photo features our first look at Shailene Woodley as the main character, Beatrice “Tris” Prior.
The story has been likened to The Hunger Games as it features teen on teen violence. It centers on a 16-year-old girl named Beatrice Prior (Woodley), who lives in a world where society is divided into five factions that each represents a particular virtue or personality: honesty, selflessness, bravery, peacefulness and intelligence. The character that Woodley plays is classified a 'divergent,' and is told that she will never fit into any specific group. She uncovers a conspiracy to destroy all 'divergents,' and she must find out why others like her are considered so dangerous.
The movie is being adapted from the book by Veronica Roth and is being directed by Neil Burger from a script by Vanessa Taylor and Evan Daugherty. It also stars Theo James, Kate Winslet, Ray Stevenson, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer, Jai Courtney, Miles Teller, Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Ben Lamb, Christian Madsen, Tony Goldwyn and Amy Newbold.
