13 seconds. This following teaser trailer for Divergent, yet another young adult adapation, is 13 seconds. What information can you gain about a movie in 13 seconds? Well, if you’re already in the bag for said movie all it can do is offer up a chance for you to scream because IT’S SO AMAZING! However, if you don’t know what it is and don’t really care… Well, you’ll probably be in the same position after watching.
Based on the novel of the same name, Divergent is described as a thrilling adventure centered around the monumental choice of deciding who you are and discovering who you can be. Set in a future where America is divided into five ideological factions to stabilize society and uphold peace, every citizen must choose a permanent faction at age 16 – either their own or another. Struggling to survive her initiation into the most aggressive and physically demanding of the factions, Beatrice Prior must uncover her true hidden strengths and risk her family, her new found love, and her very own life to defuse a mysterious conspiracy which could change the balance of power forever.
Shailene Woodley (The Spectacular Now) stars in the lead role as Beatrice and she’s supported by the likes of Kate Winslet, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer, Jai Courtney, her Spectacular Now co-star Miles Teller and Zoë Kravitz.
Neil Burger directs and Summit is set to release it in theaters on March 21, 2014.
Watch the teaser below and I expect we’ll see a full length trailer very soon if not tomorrow.
