Shailene Woodley has revealed that she is excited for the ending of "Allegiant," the third installment to the upcoming "Divergent" film.
She told Entertainment Weekly that she enjoyed the ending of the book and that she was excited.
"I was stoked. I thought that it was such a (Expletive) decision of Veronica Roth, and so incredibly powerful. I love that she didn't sort of buy into the breakdown of what most young adult books, like, the outline of what's happened in previous young adult books. Men die all the time in films - heroes do. But a lot of sweet heroines don't. And so I thought it was a very powerful, profound decision on her part. And I really love that she had the courage and the bravery to do that," Woodley said.
Meanwhile, she also revealed that she was sad to see Neil Burger depart from the series. "Yeah, it was a bit of a shock. We were actually doing reshoots when I found out. It's kind of strange to think that it's his baby, and it's going to be passed on to the next person - and I guess this happens all the time in franchises - but I've never been a part of a franchise, and I've never experienced anything like it. It was shocking. This entire movie has been about Neil's vision, and one of the reasons I did it was because I thought his vision was so beautiful and so strong. So yeah, it was just more shocking than anything," she said.
Woodley also said that she was happy to have worked with "The Spectacular Now" co-star Miles Teller. She said that he was a great actor to work with. "It was amazing. Miles is my favorite person to act across from, because we both approach acting from the same vantage point - which is, we really both love to be on a movie set," Woodley said.
"Divergent" is slated to be released on March 21, 2014. The film, which also stars Theo James and Kate Winslet, tells the story of Beatrice Prior, a teenager with a special mind, who finds her life threatened when an authoritarian leader seeks to exterminate her kind in her effort to seize control of their divided society.
