Forbes: 'DIVERGENT' is the Second Most Buzzed About 2014 Movie

According to social media research firm Fizziology, DIVERGENT is the second most buzzed about movie online, after Fast & Furious 7. This is good news because the more interest and support gained for the movie, the more chance we'll get to see sequels made.

Forbes: "Divergent is the second most buzzed about 2014 film on social media. Based on the best-selling young adult series by Veronica Roth, the first Divergent film hits theaters in March. A trailer for the film showed with Catching Fire, which has grossed $732 million to date. If the same fan base turns out for Divergent, it could be a huge hit. While other young adult adaptations have faltered (Beautiful Creatures, Ender’s Game), many believe Divergent has the best chance of being the next Hunger Games."

DIVERGENT is also #5 on Fandango's Most Anticipated 2014 Movie's list.

First DIVERGENT Movie Clip Will Be Revealed Tomorrow - Watch a Teaser!

OUR FIRST PROPER CLIP. It's happening. Tomorrow. On Entertainment Tonight. Tune in, and bring your feels. (Usually airs 7PM ET most areas.) Yahoo! Movies will thankfully post it online at around 9PM ET/6PM PT. (Meaning those that miss it or are in different countries will be able to see it in good quality rather than the usual recording of a TV screen. Yay!) And of course, we'll then post it here. For now, watch a teaser video above!! (Or the instagram version below.) The music featured is Ellie Goulding’s “Don’t Say a Word.” We don't know if the actual clip tomorrow will feature any if these scenes or it'll be different, we'll have to wait and see!

Schedule Conflicts Means DIVERGENT Director Neil Burger Wont Be Directing the Sequel, Will Stay As On Exec Producer

We were all a little disappointed yesterday when we heard DIVERGENT director Neil wouldnt be staying on for the sequel 'Insurgent', we've got to know him and he's a loved member of the Divergent family and we wondered what it could mean. Well now we have an official statement to clear it all up!

OFFICIAL Summit statement: "Neil Burger is a rock star and he is doing a fantastic job on Divergent. We can't wait for you to see the film. But as amazing as Neil is he still cannot be in two places at once and thus needs to finish post production on Divergent while we gear up to start production on Insurgent.  So, although Neil will continue on as part of our Divergent family as an executive producer, we sadly have to find another director for the next chapter in Veronica Roth's fantastic series - Summit Entertainment."

So while we will miss Neil, at least he will be sticking around in some form. And more excitingly, 'Insurgent' production is gearing up! That doesn't mean filming will begin straight away of course, pre-production starts months ahead and includes overseeing everything from location scouting, wardrobe department, to casting etc etc. We look forward to finding out which director will be joining the team next!

INSURGENT & ALLEGIANT Get Scheduled Movie Release Dates! MARCH 2015 & 2016

BIG news! You can now mark your calendars with the expected release dates for the 'Insurgent' & 'Allegiant' movies!

Here are the dates so far:

Insurgent:  MARCH 20TH 2015
Allegiant: MARCH 18 2016.


With the 'Divergent' movie being released next March 21st next year, March is shaping up to be our favorite month of the year.

Hypable reports: "Summit has confirmed that the third and final book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy titled Allegiant is set for a March 18, 2016 theatrical release.
It’s worth noting that this is not Allegiant, Part 1. In other words, there are no plans (right now) to split the final book into two movies like they and parent studio Lionsgate did for YA titans Twilight and The Hunger Games. A release date for the Allegiant movie shows the studio’s confidence in the first movie being a hit when it arrives in theaters early next year. It stars Shailene Woodley as Tris and Theo James as Four. Divergent will hit theaters March 21, 2014, and Insurgent is set for March 20, 2015. Brian Duffield is currently writing the screenplay for the latter.
