Insurgent
Short description
Insurgent continues the story of Beatrice "Tris" Prior in a future Chicago cut off from the outside world, where society is divided into factions based on personal qualities. After exposing a plot by the Erudite faction and its leader, Jeanine Matthews, Tris and Tobias "Four" Eaton are fugitives. Hunted by Jeanine's forces and burdened by choices from her past, Tris searches for allies and for the truth behind what her family died to protect, while a conflict among the factions grows.
The film was directed by Robert Schwentke, whose earlier features include Flightplan, The Time Traveler's Wife and RED. It is the sixth film he directed and the second entry in the Divergent series. Shailene Woodley and Theo James return as Tris and Four, with Kate Winslet as Jeanine, Miles Teller as Peter, Ansel Elgort as Caleb and Zoë Kravitz as Christina. Akiva Goldsman, Mark Bomback and Brian Duffield wrote the screenplay.
Made for about 110 million dollars, Insurgent took in roughly 297 million dollars worldwide. Audiences rate it modestly: 6.2 out of 10 on IMDb from over 273,000 votes and 6.4 out of 10 on TMDB from more than 10,000 votes. A critics' score of 5 out of 10 across 206 reviews places it below the audience averages.
What's left behind the scenes
- To prevent information leaks during filming, the project was codenamed "Mineral".
- The character of Edward (Ben Lamb) was supposed to remain in the film, but the actor left the project. As a result, Johnny Weston was cast in the role, and the character was renamed Edgar.
- Naomi Watts is naturally blonde. For her role in this film, she dyed her hair auburn.
- Unlike the first film, "Divergent, Chapter 2: Insurgent" (2015) was filmed in Atlanta, not Chicago.
- The cube shown in the trailer was not in the book.
- Kate Winslet was so eager to reprise her role in Neil Burger's 2014 science fiction film that she instructed her representatives to contact the producers and inform them that she had a window in her filming schedule and was ready to play Janine again.
- As with many other adaptations of young adult literature (such as the Harry Potter books and the Hunger Games and Twilight franchises), the final book in the series (Allegiant) was planned to be split into two films, with this film covering the events of the first half of the book and Ascendant covering the events of the second half. Due to overwhelmingly negative reviews of the film and unsatisfactory box office returns, these plans were abandoned, as were plans to film a continuation as a television series.
- The massive structure behind the wall is the 'Duga', or '5H32' (a Soviet over-the-horizon radar station of the early warning system for launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles). It is located near the city of Pripyat in Ukraine. The station was operational between July 1976 and December 1989.
- Shailene Woodley refused to use a wig in "Insurgent." She simply cut her hair short. In the book, her character, Tris, also cuts her hair, but not as short as it is shown in the film.
- Neil Burger was originally supposed to direct this film, but he turned it down due to scheduling conflicts between working on "Insurgent" and "Divergent" (2014).
