Today has been filed with lots of amazingness for us Initiates. Now we have a bunch of character portraits from the official Divergent website.
A bio comes along with the character portraits explaining who each character is:
Originally born into Abnegation, Tris is idealistic,
vulnerable, brave and compassionate. When faced with
the biggest decision of her life, she struggles between
choosing her family and her yearning desire
to discover her true identity.
Strong, mentally tough and emotionally guarded,
Four is one of the leaders in the Dauntless faction
with a mysterious past. As an instructor,
Four becomes close to Tris and helps
guide her during her initiation process.
Leader of the Erudite faction, Jeanine is cold,
calculating, and wickedly manipulative. Despite
her gifted intelligence, Jeanine’s unscrupulous
desire for absolute control poses a serious threat
to the five factions.
Tori is a member of the Dauntless faction. She
administers Tris’aptitude test and first discovers
that Tris is Divergent. As she continues to
provide Tris with advice, thetwo establish a bond
that helps Tris throughout her journey.
Eric is a tough, brutal leader in the
Dauntless faction who becomes an early
adversary to Tris.
Fierce, fearless, and intense, Max establishes
himself as one of the premiere leaders
within the Dauntless faction.
Born into Candor, Christina is kind, empathetic, but
also fearless. She instantly befriends Tris as they
enter the Dauntless faction together.
Born into Candor but aspiring to be Dauntless,
Al’s natural kind-heartedness prevents him from
fitting in. Big, warm, and at times clumsy, al is
constantly torn between friendship and envy.
With exceptional close-encounter combat skills,
Edward has the rare athleticism to thrive as a
Dauntless initiate despite his Erudite upbringing.
As a Dauntless initiate, Molly uses brute strength
and intense cruelty to compete against her peers.
Originally born into Candor, Peter joins
Dauntless and uses evil cunning and cruel
violence to advance in the initiation process.
In contrast to the other Dauntless initiates, Will
is able to apply his Erudite intelligence and use
teamwork as a strength during their initiation.
A leader of the Abnegation faction, Andrew is a loving
and devoted father to Tris and Caleb.
Tris’s older brother, Caleb is selfless at heart but
chooses to leave his home for a life of knowledge
in the Erudite faction.
As a council member of the Abnegation faction,
Marcus struggles between his family and
the responsibility of leading a faction
faced with uncertainty.
I know all of us Initiates have been dying to get a glimpse at the filming of Divergent. Well here is a 12 minute look at some behind the scenes filming of Divergent. The behind the scenes footage includes Tris choosing her new name, ferris wheel scenes, training sessions, fight scenes, knife throwing scenes, and more. This video is a must watch for Divergent fans.
This video seriously makes me way more excited to see the Divergent movie!
Divergent will be in theaters and IMAX on March 21, 2014.
The release of the Divergent movie is getting closer and closer. Summit has created Divergent app for the film. The app features new and never before seen still of Edward, Christina, Natalie, Andrew, Tris and Caleb Prior, Tori, Max, Eric, Tobias and Marcus Eaton, Molly, Peter, Will and Al. Thanks to our Affiliates Divergents UK and IamDivergent we have some of the stills.
Collider sat down with Ray Stevenson to talk about Dexter, Thor and Divergent. Ray will be playing Marcus Eaton, the father of Tobias/Four Eaton played by Theo James in the film adaptation of Veronica Roth’s bestselling novel Divergent. He is certainly no stranger to being in hit TV shows and movies. Ray talks about why he was drawn to the character of Marcus Eaton. Read what he said about Divergent below and CLICK HERE to view the whole interview.
What was the appeal of Divergent?
STEVENSON: As an actor, I relish and delight in doing things that I’m not necessarily the demographic for. This is a demographic that is touching the psyche of a certain age group, facing the real internal questions of people who are going through rites of passage into adulthood. It’s earth-shaking stuff. So, I like bringing little subtle complexities to a character. It’s all about the subtext. No one can really describe or fully know another human being, even if they get a hook on them. It’s more about instinctively knowing whether you like somebody or not. You don’t have to then go and analyze and break it all down. We’re the sum of many, many, many disparate parts that all weave and change course. Also, I got to be involved with Lionsgate and Summit, and Neil Burger is directing. I read the script and I said, “Yeah, let’s dive into this!”
I don’t know about you, but I believe that Ray Stevenson is the perfect person to play Marcus.
