Continuing the current Hollywood craze of bringing YA books from page to screen, after the likes of the Hunger Games and The Mortal Instruments, Divergent is the adaption of the first book in a planned trilogy from Veronica Roth, and imagines a future dystopia, where society is divided into different factions based on peoples personalities and virtues. When Tris (Shailene Woodley) defies catergorisation, possessing more than one virtue, she is labelled a Divergent, and she must fight to save her life.
The first, brief trailer for the film, directed by Neill Burger (Limitless), debuted at last nights MTV VMA's, and the tone has quite a lot in common with The Hunger Games. You don't really get a good grasp of the story, but there is a lot here to pique your interest. Also released is the handy infograph below, mapping out the different factions making up the world of Divergent.
