After The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire was released in November, fans have been craving another futuristic and action-packed movie. On March 21, they found just that when the next major movie franchise, Divergent, hit theaters everywhere.

Based off of Northwestern alum Veronica Roth’s debut novel, Divergent takes place in a dystopian universe in which a city near Chicago has been divided into five distinct factions. Every year, teens are required to take an aptitude test designed to show which faction their personalities are best equipped for. The book follows main character Beatrice “Tris” Prior as she struggles to determine which faction she belongs to after her aptitude test comes back inconclusive.

Since the novel was massively successful with over five million copies sold since its release in April 2011, fans anxiously awaited the movie debut.

“I read Divergent, and I loved it,” sophomore Carly Soucie said. “I will definitely be seeing the movie.”

The rights to the film were purchased by Summit Entertainment, and Neil Burger directed the film. The Secret Life of the American Teenager’s Shailene Woodley stars as Tris alongside Theo James as Tobias Eaton, Tris’s love interest. Two sequels have already been announced with Insurgent being released in March 2015, and Allegiant in 2016.

“I think that [Divergent] could definitely be popular… because it’s an amazing piece of literature,” sophomore Aggie Lesser said.

With an all-star cast, entertaining story, and solid fan base, Divergent is gearing up to be the next teen sensation.
