DIVERGENT Official First Look

DIVERGENT

Last night during the MTV Video Music Awards it was premiered a clip from Divergent, the feature film based on Veronica Roth’s young adult book series. There have been some speculation regarding resemblances between this novels and  The Hunger Games books/films (young woman surviving a dystopian future), but in my opinion I think is great that we are seeing now more often empowered leading female roles in film and fiction, specially teen oriented  (Another movie this year with a female leading role is the upcoming Disney’s Frozen, where Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) commands a group quest to save her Kingdom). Check out the official synopsis for Divergent below:

“DIVERGENT is a thrilling action-adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late. DIVERGENT is based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth.”

What do you think of this trailer? Do you think is going to become a fan/cult favorite like The Hunger Games?
