DIVERGENT Movie Fans Break Record in Round 3 of the 2014 MTV Movie Brawl

As you may be aware, we've pushing and voting like crazy to get DIVERGENT all the way to the final in the 2014 MTV Movie Brawl.

Earlier today after an amazing come back against 'Maps to the Stars', we reached the Final Four! It was tough beating the impressively sized Robert Pattinson fan base, but the initiates came through and voted in what MTV called "unprecedented" numbers. (Also, hello new TRIS still from @Divergent on the left!)

MTV:  "In the Elite Eight, Robert Pattinson's "Maps to the Stars" was the clear favorite for several days, until Initiates rallied in unprecedented numbers, pulling "Divergent" past the finish line."

Shailene Woodley InDepth Interview from Sundance Film Festival 2014

"You’ll be hearing a lot about Shailene Woodley this year, with starring roles in the blockbuster Divergent and the drama The Fault in Our Stars."

The Daily Beast: We sat down with her at Sundance for a long conversation on her latest, the mystery White Bird in a Blizzard, and everything else.

It’s a horrible cliché to say it, but Shailene Woodley really is a breath of fresh air—especially after an 8:30 a.m. screening midway through the Sundance Film Festival.

I’m fresh out of her latest film, the coming-of-age drama-mystery White Bird in a Blizzard, which was directed by Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin). The film is set from 1988-1991, and Woodley stars as Kat, a young woman who struggles to find herself after her overbearing mother (Eva Green) mysteriously disappears. The trauma strains her relationships with her boyfriend (Shiloh Fernandez) and terribly shy father (Christopher Meloni). It’s another strong bildungsroman for Woodley, who has become something of an expert at the genre, what with her stellar turn in last year’s The Spectacular Now, and The Fault in Our Stars, out later this year.

HQ Scans: Justine Magazine DIVERGENT Movie Set Visit + Interview with Shailene Woodley

Check out the new DIVERGENT behind the scenes photo on the left featuring Director Neil Burger and Shailene Woodley (Tris).  

JUSTINE Magazine visited the DIVERGENT movie set during production last year, which included getting to watch scenes being filmed, a tour, and interviewing some of the stars! Read on below for the set report and interview with Shailene:

JM Report: When I found out that I would be visiting the set of DIVERGENT and catching a glimpse into mastermind author Veronica Roth's creation, I knew I was in for a treat- and I was right!! The marathon day started with a visit to the Abnegation territory (where Tris grew up with her family), which, oddly enough, was located smack dab in the middle of Chicago – talk about picture perfect! This wasn’t the only larger-than-life, spot-on interpretation of the story, though.

During the set tour (which took place in a massive warehouse), I got to board the infamous train car, peruse through the seemingly endless costumes (and chat with one of the best designers in the biz). I even got my turn to sport the headphones and watch on the monitor behind the green screen while Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller did what they do best.

I could not have imagined a more welcoming cast and crew as I watched the book I had been feverishly rereading on the plane the day before unfold in front of me. And lets not forget about the old-friend style interviews that broke up the day. Each of the talented stars had something new to bring to the table, but one recurring question was, “Have you met Shailene yet?” followed by stories about her contagious positivity and quirkiness, and even her strict organic dietary decisions. It wasn’t until I met this leading lady at the very end of the day that I truly understood what they meant as she bounced over- a glass jar of imported water in hand- and charmingly asked, “What’s goin’ on?” Here’s what she had to say….

Ellie Goulding Talks About Being on the DIVERGENT Movie Soundtrack

We mentioned previously that Ellie Goulding would be featuring on the DIVERGENT soundtrack, now she has announced it officially and tells us that not only will she have a new song on the film, but that she has been working with the musical director to be involved with the whole musical side of things.

She spoke to MTV and ABC in the videos below, confirming her voice will be kind of 'woven into' parts of the instrumental throughout the movie. Exciting!

Ellie also tells us that she has seen the film and thinks it's awesome! (natch).

The official DIVERGENT twitter account shared this new up close and personal picture with us featuring Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Tobias/Four (Theo James). Tagged: “It's been a long time since I have been able to trust anyone."

VIDEO: ABC on DIVERGENT 'The Next Big Film Craze'

ABC News talks about how the DIVERGENT movie could be the next big 'teen' film craze, like that of The Hunger Games, possibly even bigger. Wow, that's certainly something to aspire to. As we reported recently, DIVERGENT is the most positively buzzed about upcoming movie on social networks, team that with incredible book sales and it looks promising. A success like this would ensure the future of the franchise. Mostly however, we're hoping for an amazing and faithful movie adaptation. What we've seen so far looks promising, and we'll be doing our bit to support the movie come release day by spreading the word and watching it as many times as our wallets allow.

Shailene Woodley Talks Pop Culture with Yahoo Movies

Yahoo Movies spoke with DIVERGENT star Shailene Woodley by phone about her pop culture roots for their POPsessions questionnaire. Check it out below:

1. What was the first movie you saw?
Probably "Beauty and the Beast." I remember loving it. I would watch it all day long, every day, multiple times a day.

2. What movie do you absolutely always stop and watch if you see it on cable?
"Dirty Dancing." It was a movie I grew up with and is one of my all-time favorites. I love the nostalgia of it. I love the romance in it. I love the storyline and the music.  I think it’s just such a great comfort film.

Interview: Shailene Woodley Talks DIVERGENT & More in Entertainment Weekly

You’ve recently become the go-to person for YA literary adaptations. I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s something that unites the characters you’re playing in all these movies – The Spectacular Now, Divergent, and The Fault in Our Stars — and what I came up with is that it seems like all of them could be described as loners.

I don’t think so. I wouldn’t say that Aimee’s a loner. I think that she’s somebody who chooses not to have a lot of friends because she just doesn’t have anything in common with a lot of high school kids. She’s got an old soul, and she’s incredibly wise and intelligent, and is an introvert. I think that Tris [from Divergent] isn’t a loner; she’s just from a faction that doesn’t lend to compassionate friendships. And I think that Hazel [from The Fault in Our Stars] isn’t a loner, I think she’s somebody that by circumstance isn’t around a lot of people often. So I actually don’t think there’s much correlation between any of them, apart from the fact that they’re all around the same age.
