"Movie-making is a long and complicated process. That said, the following encouraging and great things have happened so far: the film rights have been sold to Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate; Red Wagon, a production company, has also signed on to work on it; Evan Daugherty, screenwriter, wrote a screenplay; Neil Burger has signed on to direct; Shailene Woodley has been cast as Tris; Theo James has been cast as Four; Kate Winslet has been cast as Jeanine; Ansel Elgort, Zoe Kravitz, Jai Courtney, and Maggie Q have been cast as Caleb, Christina, Eric, and Tori, respectively; shooting is scheduled to start in April of 2013, and in other news, my brain is constantly on the verge of exploding due to Awesome Overload."

"Divergent holds its own in the [dystopian] genre, with brisk pacing, lavish flights of imagination and writing that occasionally startles with fine detail." New York Times
