Summit gives fans a first glimpse of the upcoming film adaptation of the popular and well-loved YA novel, Divergent (written by Veronica Roth) in a thirteen second teaser trailer. However, unlike plenty of teaser trailers I've seen in the past, this preview of Divergent doesn't disappoint. Filled with a rapid succession of the main characters in action, fighting and the titular line, these thirteen seconds are packed with small details to tame expectant fans until the theatrical trailer is released. Let's break it down:
First and foremost, it begins with the first moving shot of main character Beatrice (Shailene Woodley) in Abnegation uniform. Hair tied back and insecurity in her eyes, Woodley's performance seems promising. When I first heard of Tris's casting, I had unsure first impressions. Although I haven't seen much of Woodley's prior acting bar The Descendants, I'm keeping an open mind until I see more.
Cut to Divergent's antagonist Jeanine Matthews clothed in Erudite navy blue portrayed by elegant Kate Winslet. This too, seemed like an interesting casting choice as I'm intrigued to see Winslet in a film targeted towards a younger audience. Nevertheless, the quick one second shot exudes sternness from her expression as she glances at now Dauntless Beatrice as they pass each other. Beatrice is now Tris, in black attire instead of grey and decorated with her notorious raven tattoo. In short, looking very kick-ass. The next cameo we see is of tattoo artist Tori (Maggie Q), warning Tris of her Divergence. Next we see a series of quick snapshots: Tris in the Dauntless compound perhaps; Four wielding a gun; kicks, punches and dodges as Dauntless initiation plays out; Capture The Flag; and finally ending with a slow-motion jump of Tris taking Christina's hand as they leap out of a moving train onto a rooftop.
Short but sweet, hopes are high for Divergent: release date 21 March 2014.
