Insurgent is currently being filmed, and it seems that Theo James and Shailene Woodley are in for a lot of action on the second installment of the Divergent trilogy.
In a report by Daily Mail, the duo was spotted on the set in between takes. James, who plays Tobias Eaton a.k.a. Four, was sporting his all-black Dauntless costume. Meanwhile, Woodley who plays Beatrice Prior a.k.a. Tris, was in baggy pants and a sleeveless gilet, and she had her hair hidden under a scarf.
When filming resumed, the onscreen couple were seen wielding firearms – James' looked like a futuristic automatic rifle and Woodley's looked like a handgun. The report said that they shot an action-packed scene.
The Divergent trilogy is based on a young-adult novel by Veronica Roth. It's set in post-apocalyptic Chicago and features a dystopian society where people are defined by their affiliation with any of the five social factions. An aptitude test is given to citizens at age 16 to determine which faction they are suited to be in: Abnegation (selfless), Amity (peaceful), Candor (honest), Dauntless (brave), or Erudite (intelligent). They can either choose to stay with their family's faction or change sides, but they can become factionless – and live in poverty – if they fail the initiation rites. On the other hand, showing aptitude for three factions makes one a Divergent.
Tris and Four are both Divergents. They meet and fall for each other in the Dauntless faction. The second installment of the series will take them into more dangerous territories, facing decisions and conflicts in the midst of an impending war.
The movie is set to roll out on March 20, 2015. In the meantime, here's a preview of the Divergent, the first in the trilogy.
