After being exposed as Divergents—people who don’t fit neatly into one of the five
societal classifications or “factions”—Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) find
themselves on the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the power-hungry leader of the Erudite
faction. As the traitorous Dauntless troops under Jeanine’s command prowl the ruins of
dystopian Chicago rounding up Divergents, Tris and Four traverse the city hoping to find
allies among the Amity, Candor, Abnegation and Dauntless factions—as well as the rebellious
and impoverished mass of Factionless. Although heartsick and guilt-ridden over the violent
deaths of her family and friends, Tris tries to uncover the secret her parents sacrificed their
lives to protect - the very secret that explains why Jeanine will stop at nothing to capture her.
Desperate to avoid causing pain to any more of her loved ones, Tris faces her darkest fears in
a series of near-impossible challenges as she seeks to unlock the truth about the past, and
ultimately the future, of their world.

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT:
TEARING UP THE DIVERGENT WORLD
The Divergent Series: Insurgent picks up three days after the end of Divergent,
when Tris and Four narrowly hindered Jeanine’s plot to use mind-controlled Dauntless
troops to exterminate the population of Abnegation. But the victory comes at a terrible
personal cost for Tris. Both her parents are killed in the battle, as is her fellow Dauntless
initiate Will, whom she is forced to shoot when he attacks her under the influence of a brainaltering serum.
Like Divergent, The Divergent Series: Insurgent is set in the ruins of a futuristic,
walled Chicago where survivors are divided into five factions based on their abilities,
temperaments and personal preferences. Members of the Abnegation faction are selfless,
Amity are peaceful, Candor are honest, Dauntless are brave and Erudite are intelligent.
Those who belong to no faction are known simply as Factionless.
In the first film, Beatrice “Tris” Prior, who grew up as Abnegation, learns through a
government-administered aptitude test that she is Divergent, meaning she has attributes of
multiple factions. Because Divergents are independent thinkers who cannot be controlled by
any faction, they are considered dangerous. Upon learning her traits put her at risk, she
chooses to join Dauntless to conceal her Divergent identity. But as part of her rigorous
training, she is forced to take part in hallucinatory simulations (SIMs) that reveal her unique
abilities. She finds a much-needed ally—and eventually a love interest—in Tobias “Four”
Eaton, a Dauntless instructor and expert fighter who is also revealed to be Divergent.
In Insurgent, the stakes and the action are raised dramatically as Divergents are
hunted throughout the city by Jeanine’s brutal militias and Tris and Four realize they must
find a way to stop her.
“From the first pages of the book Insurgent, we knew that Veronica Roth must have
been drinking rocket fuel when she wrote the story,” says producer Douglas Wick. “It starts
with Tris being chased, and the action never lets up. We built the world in Divergent and now
in Insurgent, we tear it up.”
At the beginning of The Divergent Series: Insurgent, Jeanine locates an elusive
five-sided locked box with each side bearing the seal of each faction. She is convinced it
contains a message with the key to the future which can only be unlocked by a Divergent
possessing qualities of all five factions. Jeanine hunts down all the Divergents she can find
4
and puts them through a rigorous testing process to see who can open it. They must endure
five different SIMs, which are far more brutal and violent than any that appeared in Divergent.
For the filmmakers, that meant creating more eye-popping action scenes, many of
which occur in the far more challenging and terrifying SIMs that Tris is forced to take part in
as Jeanine seeks to unlock the secrets of the Divergents’ power. This mind-bending action is
just one of the aspects of The Divergent Series: Insurgent that raises the bar and accelerates Tris’
exciting story that readers know and love.
“The book release of Insurgent was when the Divergent series truly took off and
became a publishing phenomenon. Veronica wrote a roller coaster of a book with incredible
twists and turns that really captured the imagination of fans, who spread the word like
wildfire,” says producer Pouya Shahbazian. “In Insurgent the city is in upheaval and new
secrets are coming to light. While in the first movie, Jeanine pinpoints the Divergents as
being a problem she wants to eliminate, in this movie, we learn very quickly that Jeanine is
determined to capture them and use them to discover a powerful secret to which only they
hold the key..”
According to Roth, writing Insurgent allowed her to flesh out Tris’ world in a way
she wasn’t able to do in Divergent, partially because the first book was written in the first
person. “It’s a little bit like growing up,” the author says. “When you’re a child, the world is
very small, and when we get older, we realize how large the world really is. Insurgent is the
world getting a little bit bigger and Tris is experiencing that in a very literal way … first it’s
one faction, then it’s two factions, then it’s the entire city of Chicago.”
With Tris and Four on the run and searching for answers across the war-torn city,
the audience is taken on a journey through the unique and visually arresting environments
inhabited by each faction. “In the first film, we saw these fun and visceral full-metal-jacket
training sequences, but they were confined to the dark and gloomy Dauntless compound for
much of the film,” says Wick. “In this movie, we start off in the beautiful lush fields,
honeycomb beehive dome and signature tree of Amity. Then they travel to Factionless,
where we see this curiosity of functionality and aesthetics in a wondrous, slightly enchanted
and disenfranchised place. Then the characters go to Candor and we encounter what these
starkly dressed, unrelentingly honest people are like, and finally we check out the depths of
the Erudite world inside Jeanine’s high-tech lab.”

The most impressive landscapes in the film, however, may be those that take place
inside Tris’ mind. After a number of attacks on the factions who have provided refuge to
Tris, Four and the Dauntless rebels, Tris realizes that the only way to stop Jeanine from
hurting anyone else is to turn herself in to Jeanine at Erudite headquarters. When she
surrenders herself there, Jeanine subjects her to an increasingly intense series of SIMs. “The
SIMs are a defining characteristic of this movie in terms of style and tone,” says producer
Lucy Fisher. “The internal forces influencing Tris are even more dramatic, more colorful,
and more riveting than the external ones. In her SIMs, she has to contend with all of her
demons and, luckily for us, director Robert Schwentke and visual-effects-maestro James
Madigan concocted a way to show us what’s inside Tris’ head that’s so visual and so exciting
that even though her dreams are torturous for her, they’re really exciting for us to watch.”
Shahbazian agrees, “The SIMs are so action-packed and so imaginative. They have
taken what Veronica wrote and added to them, made them more explosive and more
cinematic with the most cutting edge filmmaking technology available today.”
“The Divergent Series: Insurgent is a high-octane action-adventure packed with
excitement and suspense,” says Erik Feig, Co-President of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture
Group, who also played an instrumental role in the development and production of
blockbuster book-based franchises The Hunger Games and The Twilight Saga. “It combines a
riveting plot, an extraordinary cast and a lot of heart with intense stunt work and visual
effects to deliver an extremely satisfying and unique movie-going experience.”
To provide audiences with the ultimate way to enjoy The Divergent Series:
Insurgent’s mind-blowing visuals and sound, Lionsgate is also releasing the film in IMAX ®
3D and RealD™ 3D. “The film will be released in RealD™ 3D but it has also been digitally
re-mastered using IMAX®’s unique, proprietary technology,” said Feig. “The crystal-clear
images, coupled with the large-screen format, customized theater geometry and powerful
digital audio will make audiences feel as if they are right in the middle of the incredible
futuristic world the filmmakers have created.”

BRINGING A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON TO THE SCREEN
The bestselling novel, Insurgent, was written by author Veronica Roth, whose first
novel, Divergent, topped The New York Times Best Seller list after it was published in 2011.
Divergent made NPR and Barnes & Noble’s “Best Books of 2011” list and was voted
“Favorite Book of the Year” by Goodreads members. Roth wrote the book while an
undergraduate at Northwestern University. She soon followed up with Insurgent, which also
hit No. 1 on The New York Times Best Sellers list. In 2013 she released Allegiant, the final
book in the series, which sold 455,000 copies on its first day to break a company record for
HarperCollins. Pre-orders for Allegiant exceeded those of any book in the history of
HarperCollins.
As they adapt Veronica Roth’s best-selling book series, the filmmakers are ever
aware of the immense responsibility that comes with bringing a beloved author’s work to the
screen. “The Divergent series has sold well over 30 million copies,” notes Wick. “Whenever
we got a little lost about what liberties to take in streamlining the story, we always
remembered that Veronica was the oracle. Whatever good idea any of us thought we were
having, we also remembered people bought Veronica’s books, not ours.”
According to Fisher, having Roth available to discuss production and plot issues
with was priceless. “We’re very lucky to have a living author to consult with,” she says. “On
our last movie (The Great Gatsby) F.Scott Fitzgerald wasn’t really available. Veronica was very
much a part of this process as a resource and sounding board.”
Roth says she appreciates the care the producers put into adapting her work. “Doug and
Lucy have a lot of respect for the story and that’s a huge asset,” says the author. “They
understand what works and can pinpoint what will be difficult to translate.”
Although the filmmakers made every effort to stay true to the themes and characters
of the books, Roth understood that some changes needed to be made to present the 544page novel in a two-hour movie. “In the book, there’s more freedom to do a weird structure
and explain things slowly. But on screen, it has to be fast and concise and clear. I’m always
really open-minded to change as long as it creates a better and stronger story. One thing that
was very important to me was to ensure that the dynamic between Tris and Four remained
the same, and that she is still the primary mover of the plot. And in Insurgent, it is still Tris’
story.”

CASTING THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT
Golden Globe®-nominated actress Shailene Woodley and Theo James return to lead
the cast of The Divergent Series: Insurgent. “One of the real accomplishments
of Divergent was Tris Prior, whom Shailene created on screen,” comments Wick. “As The
Divergent Series: Insurgent begins, she is haunted by grief. She is a warrior consumed
with survivor’s guilt. Her world is crumbled. One of her first acts in the story is to cut off
her hair. It’s her way of physicalizing her pain, it’s just too much to bear.’”
“Tris is guilt-ridden,” Woodley agrees. “She’s lost her mom and dad, and
unfortunately, she had to shoot one of her friends to preserve her own survival and stop any
further destruction of Abnegation. We find her a little bit numb, and confused. She doesn’t
quite know exactly who she is.”
Roth says each title in the series was intended to describe a different aspect of Tris.
“One of the definitions of the word ‘insurgent’ is someone who rises up in peaceful
opposition to an established authority,” the author says. “That is exactly what Tris does in
Insurgent. She’s traumatized from what happened at the end of the first installment, but she
has to figure out a different way of fighting the system than with a gun alone.”
For Woodley, the darker quality of the second book is part of its appeal. “The story
is much more in her head, dealing with traumatic events. I really responded to that. It
seemed very psychologically suspenseful. Coming back into this world again, I assumed it
would be easy, because we knew the characters and story so well. But the storyline has
shifted and the relationship between Tris and Four is evolving, like it does when one
member of a partnership goes through something traumatic.
“I feel so lucky that Theo and I get to work together,” adds Woodley. “He’s such a
class act. We both have similar rhythms and ways of approaching the work. You become a
family during filming and then you disperse. But in a franchise, you get to come back and
have the comfort of the tribe once again.”
For his part, Theo James is thrilled to once again inhabit the character of Four. “It’s
great to be back with Shai, because she’s fun to work with and she’s also a great actress,” he
says. “It’s fun for us to discover different things together about the characters, and different
places that we want to take their unconventional relationship. They are two damaged people
who are trying to struggle through a war, which makes it richer and more enticing.”

James’ character, who is revealed to be a Divergent in the first film, evolves
substantially in The Divergent Series: Insurgent. “He can be more open, and he’s fallen in
love with Tris,” explains the actor. “His mother, who for years he had presumed was dead, is
introduced into the story. She’s going to try and coerce him into joining her as a leader of
the resistance. This movie is about his mission to protect Tris and the broader society, and
mixed into that are his own personal demons.”
Kate Winslet’s character, Jeanine, returns after suffering a devastating defeat to Tris
and Four at the end of Divergent. “Jeanine is a psychopath and probably the smartest person
in the world,” says producer Lucy Fisher. “And she’s been stung by a bee, so she’s mad and
she’s motivated.”
Winslet describes her character as “one of those inherently terrible, awful people
whose strength comes from a place that is not necessarily genuine or even remotely
honest—even though she believes she is being genuine and honest. She is a strong woman
who likes power and will stop at nothing in order to get more of it.”
Or as Shahbazian puts it: “Jeanine truly believes in using any means necessary,
including torture and cruelty, to keep their society functioning. She has a passion for science
and for leading the city but applies her own 'natural selection' which makes her even more
sinister. The beauty of Jeanine is that she’s a multi-dimensional villain. Kate is fantastic in the
role—and your heroes are only as good as your villain.”
Kate Winslet relished the opportunity to give audiences a closer look at Erudite and
step back into Jeanine’s shoes. She also loved the sleek, ominous wardrobe that helped bring
her malicious character to life. “It’s been really nice being able to wear all the cut, fitted
dresses that help create such an intimidating villian. It’s made Jeanine feel much more
powerful, cattier and nastier. It’s also been great coming back together with everyone else.”
Winslet loves how Tris challenges Jeanine’s growing wickedness with an even more
intrepid resolve of her own in The Divergent Series: Insurgent. “Tris and Jeanine’s
relationship has become a power game,” says Winslet. “Jeanine has a very bizarre and
uncomfortable fascination with and admiration for Tris because Jeanine does not have the
power to do what Tris can do. She is quite awed by Tris.”
The filmmakers recruited an impressive trio of seasoned actors to play the faction
leaders: Academy Award®-winner Octavia Spencer portrays the Amity head, Johanna;
9
Academy Award®-nominee Naomi Watts leads the Factionless as Evelyn; Daniel Dae Kim is
Jack Kang, at the top of Candor society.
“Octavia Spencer is a fantastic actress with great energy, and she brings a certain
level of integrity to Johanna. She really elevates the part,” says executive producer Barry
Waldman. “When you cast somebody with that much talent, her appearance at the beginning
of the film really emphasizes a moment in their journey.”
Roth met Spencer, who is the author of a series of middle-grade books in addition to
being an actress, when they were both speakers at Book Expo America. “It was really
fortuitous that Octavia would want to work on this movie because she’s an extremely
talented actress and I knew she would do an excellent job,” comments Roth. “And then to
top it off, I saw how incredibly nice she is. During filming, she sat at lunch in the big trailer
with everybody. She was so down to earth and so funny,” Roth continues.
Johanna, whom the author describes as one of her favorite characters in the book
series, has a scar on her face, a visible sign that she is a survivor of violence. “Having been
through a difficult situation, she recognizes herself in people who have lived through
something terrible,” says Roth. “When Tris and Four come to her for help, that’s what
makes her put herself and her faction at risk. A really powerful part of her character is that
she doesn’t entirely agree with her faction about what to do. That struggle is one of the most
interesting parts about her.”
The film’s young leads were thrilled to work with the celebrated actress. “Octavia is
such a master at this craft because she’s just so pure,” says Woodley. “When she’s on camera
she just simply exists, and that’s the greatest gift you can give another actor.”
James concurs: “Octavia Spencer was awesome and ingenious, and brought to
Johanna this sense of gravitas that she naturally has.”
Spencer was impressed with Woodley and James as well. “Shailene is this down-toearth person, and possesses wonderful qualities: vulnerability, openness, approachability.
You want to root for her character, Tris, you want her to win—especially since Tris lost
most of her family in the first movie. Theo is a very different person from Four. He is
gregarious, funny, and really off the cuff and quick. Four is very reserved and guarded and
that serves him when he needs to be lethal. But when we see that window into his soul, the
way Four is with Tris, we get to see just a little bit of who Theo actually is.”
10
Fans and filmmakers alike were eager to find the actress who would play the gamechanging role of Four’s mother. For most of Four’s life he thought his mother was dead, but
early into the film, he discovers that she is alive. “Evelyn has a very complicated relationship
with her son,” explains Lieberman. “They hadn’t seen each other in a long time, because she
left when he was very young. Having been in the dark about her whereabouts (and
intentions) for so many years, Four doesn’t know if he can trust her. Does she want to
reestablish a relationship with him, or does she just want him to help her take down Jeanine
and take control of the city?”
Two-time Oscar®-nominee Naomi Watts was cast as Evelyn. “We were really happy
when Naomi came on. She plays against the cliché of ‘I’m the strong woman,’” says Fisher.
“She is much more mysterious than that. You’re dealing with somebody who has a
complicated past and has channeled it into revenge, no matter how long it will take her to
execute it. You never know what she is thinking.”
Roth was excited to see what Watts would bring to the character, whose motives are
unclear to Four—and to the audience. “Naomi Watts is incredibly talented and I was curious
what she would do with Evelyn, since you’re not sure if she’s a good guy or a bad guy at any
given moment,” the author says. “When you meet Naomi, she’s so petite and unassuming.
She’s quiet and clearly a very thoughtful person.”
Waldman compares Watts to World War II General George Patton. “Obviously
Naomi’s a lot more attractive than Patton, but she also has a very commanding presence
when she walks onto that set. When she struts out there in those costumes Louise found for
her, it feels like she’s a rock star.”
“She is a little frightening,” adds Roth, “because she’s leading this group of people
perceived as weak and disenfranchised, and we soon see they’re actually quite strong and
capable of challenging the Erudite. Is the enemy of my enemy actually my friend, or just
another enemy?”
For the role of Jack Kang, leader of Candor, the filmmakers had to find an actor
who could credibly play someone addicted to the truth. “We auditioned so many different
people, but when Daniel Dae Kim came in we knew he embodied Jack Kang. He’s perfect,”
states Lieberman. “Daniel’s got the great authoritative voice; he looks like he’s in control and
would tell the truth. His past roles helped him expertly plays Jack’s character as vaguely
intimidating, which adds some suspense to Tris and Four’s first encounters with him.”
11
Candor are not warriors or leaders—they’re truth-tellers. According to Kim, “The
greatest impact that Candor has is as the moral compass of society. The Candor do not play
sides for politics. They’re pure in the sense that all they care about is truth.”
Kim, known to television fans as Jin-Soo Kwon on Lost and Chin Ho Kelly on
Hawaii Five-0, was attracted to the project for several reasons. “I was impressed and moved
that Veronica decided to include an Asian-American male character in her stories,” he says.
“From where I sit, there isn’t a lot of representation of Asian-American males in film,” Kim
shares. “I give her a lot of credit. It’s not often that an author is able to so clearly describe
someone of another race or gender.”
Jai Courtney returns as Eric, a Dauntless leader and longtime rival to Four.
In The Divergent Series: Insurgent, Eric is firmly on the side of Jeanine, helping
her identify Divergents. “This film has even more excitement,” says Courtney. “It’s a
different landscape and the script was written to cater to the strengths of the established
cast. We all know our characters really well, so there wasn’t that feeling-out process. This
was play time!”
“Jai’s performance really illustrates the miracle of casting. The character Eric is
basically a thug” says Wick. "But Jai has so much inner life, intelligence and humor that he
makes Eric a riveting presence in the movie.”
“We were very lucky to get Jai,” says Fisher. “He’s becoming a giant star for one
thing, but he’s also really funny and smart and brings extra presence and weight and
humor to everything he does. He’s also really built and can do his own stunts.”
The stunt coordinators were also impressed with Jai Courtney’s athletic ability.
“We’ve seen Jai outrun all the tools we use to film actors running,” laughs Darrin Prescott,
stunt coordinator. “We’ve had cameramen tracking him, electric grip vehicles driving next to
him, octo-copters chasing him, and we’ve had to say to him, ‘Hey man, you’ve got to take a
little off because you’ve left the camera behind.’ He’s crazy fast.”
Tris’ brother Caleb Prior, played by rising star Ansel Elgort, becomes more central to
the plot in The Divergent Series: Insurgent. We discover that the seemingly submissive
Caleb is capable of a lot more than Tris has anticipated, a character turn that will
undoubtedly excite his ever-growing fanbase. “Ansel just exploded after the first movie. He
was only 19 and the way people connected with him was extraordinary,” says Wick. “One of
the opportunities in The Divergent Series: Insurgent was to explore the brother-sister
12
relationship further. Even though Caleb does some pretty dastardly things, Ansel manages to
convince us that he believes in some greater good, even if it’s at the risk of his own sister’s
life.”
Elgort relished the opportunity to share screen time with actresses Shailene Woodley
and Kate Winslet. “Shai and I have worked together recently on the Divergent movies and The
Fault in our Stars. She is the best young actress around right now, so I couldn’t be happier.
And Kate Winslet’s obviously a legend.”
Miles Teller had a great time reprising his role as the villainous Peter and enjoyed the
chance to give audiences an even closer look at his complicated character in The Divergent
Series: Insurgent. Teller explains that Peter wants to align himself with power, and so, lets
himself be drawn to Jeanine. But, he says, “Peter eventually gets belittled and tossed aside by
Jeanine, and that doesn’t sit well with him.
“Peter’s cockiness comes from a place of insecurity,” adds Teller. “But he’s fun
because he enjoys giving Tris a hard time, and that’s important. You can’t have everybody
just talking about Divergents and factions all the time. You need to have an instigator.”
Zoë Kravitz returns as Tris’ best friend Christina, who must forgive Tris for a
terrible secret that has come between them. “Everyone’s in a chaotic place,” says Kravitz. “If
we weren’t outcasts before, we are definitely outcasts now. At first Christina finds comfort
that Tris is alive, but she also feels betrayed by her, not only because of what she finds out
happened to Will during Jeanine’s mind control simulation, but because she kept it from her.
In Divergent, Christina is often the comic relief. She’s very funny and sarcastic. In this film,
you see a darker side of her.”
Maggie Q is pleased with the evolution of her character, Tori, in the new film. “Tori
was the unwilling mentor to Tris in the first film,” she comments. “Now you see her in a less
mysterious light. She’s at Candor headquarters when Four and Tris seek asylum there and are
reunited with their old comrades from the first film. Everyone’s been on the run, so in this
film, we really see Tori’s dedication to get on board with Tris and Four in the rebellion.”
Another long-time Dauntless member is Max, played by Mekhi Phifer, who along
with Eric has now sided with Jeanine. “Max and Eric storm Amity, checking to see if anyone
is Divergent and will audiences really get to see what evil they are capable of. I like playing
the bad guy, even though I’m a good guy in real life,” laughs Phifer. “In the film, we have
this new portable scanner that can test on the spot to see if people are Divergent,” he
13
explains. “We have this intimidating conversation with Octavia’s character, who’s wonderful,
about how we’re going to test all of her people in Amity. Of course, as their leader, she
wants to protect them from us, and an intense struggle ensues.”
Abnegation leader and father of Four, Marcus Eaton, played by Ray Stevenson, starts
the movie having taken refuge with his son and Tris in Amity. There, as a true politician, he
quickly ingratiates himself with Spencer’s Johanna. “Ray is one of my favorite actors and
working with him, as the reserved leader of Abnegation, was so much fun. Before we started
some scenes, he would serenade me!” laughs Spencer.
Several other new young faces are introduced in this installment of the Divergent
franchise. Up-and-coming leading man Jonny Weston plays a cunning revolutionary named
Edgar who is Evelyn’s second in command of the Factionless. The Edgar character is a new
addition to the series, and although he is not featured in Insurgent, he plays an integral role
in the film. “Edgar rose through the Factionless ranks and became Evelyn’s right hand
[man],” says Weston about his position in the Factionless. “But now that Four has appeared,
Edgar feels the threat of losing the position he has held all along, which causes him to
instigate a separation within the Factionless.”
The Divergent Series: Insurgent will also introduce audiences to Keiynan
Lonsdale, Rosa Salazar, Emjay Anthony and Suki Waterhouse, who play Dauntless rebels
beloved by fans of the Divergent trilogy. Their characters are part of the army that escapes
Dauntless to unite against Jeanine.
“Uriah, played by Keiynan Lonsdale, was one character fromDivergent whom we
were unable to include in the first movie because we had too many characters,” says Fisher.
“There were so many fans who were vocally disappointed because they loved this character,
and so did we. We did a huge casting search for Uriah. We were slightly nervous when
Keiynan’s role was announced because the fans had been so rabid about Uriah, who is also
Divergent like Tris, but we hit the jackpot with him.”
“Only after I actually landed the role did I learn what the fans were saying about
Uriah,” admits Lonsdale. “This is the first project that I’ve done that has a built-in fan base.
I read the books, so I understand it. I did feel the pressure. I want to do the character justice.
“A week after arriving from Australia, I was on a rooftop in downtown Atlanta
shooting a gun for the first time,” Lonsdale continues. “Then I got shot myself, and all this
14
glass was exploding, everything’s crazy. It was so cool to be above downtown, shooting
these amazing scenes and bringing this beloved character to life.”
Veteran actors Ashley Judd and Tony Goldwyn as well as Ben Lloyd-Hughes appear
briefly in The Divergent Series: Insurgent, even though their characters were killed in
Divergent.
“My character, Natalie Prior, dies in her daughter’s arms in Divergent,” says Judd.
“One thinks Natalie has passed from this world, but in the world of Veronica Roth’s
extraordinary imagination, nothing is as it seems. So in this film, Tris gets to re-experience
me, but not via the typical storytelling device of a flashback. My appearance as well as her
father’s and her friends’ appearances are embedded within this extraordinary world of Tris’
interior psychological landscape.”
Cast members were impressed with the new director’s attention to character while
creating a big, action-filled film. “Robert Schwentke is incredibly collaborative, and he’s keen
on making sure that the first movie is honored, but at the same time he’s imprinting his own
voice and colors onto this film. Not an easy task, but he’s doing it gracefully,” comments
Woodley. “Even though this is an action movie, he’s committed to the truth of the
characters of Tris and Four. He doesn’t really have an ego, which is very rare to find. He’s a
true artist.”
Co-star James agrees, “As much as we loved working with Neil Burger, it’s nice to
have a new perspective that injects the project with a different flavor. Robert’s quite
emotional, which is good because he’s great at carrying on the narrative’s character throughlines within the action in The Divergent Series: Insurgent. With all the fun and the gloss
of an adventure movie, character is important because there are places they’re going to go.
Robert has done that really well, not only for Shai and me, but for Miles’ and Ansel’s
characters as well.”
“I have been so blown away by working with Robert,” comments Winslet. “I’m a
huge fan of Red; I thought that was such a wonderful movie. But I didn’t really know
anything about Robert at all. I arrived and this lovely German man started giving me great
direction immediately. His ownership of this second movie was very reassuring. This is a
man who’s done his homework. He knows exactly the type of story he’s telling and how he
wants it to feel, visually and emotionally.”
One big change since the first film is that many of the cast members have become
15
full-blown movie stars after appearing in Divergent. “You hire people because you think
they’re the best actors around, and rarely do you get to be so right in casting the coolest
young people,” comments Wick. “It was an extraordinary thing on Divergent that six of them
went on and got the leads in other movies. We got a really good measure of luck in casting
the first film.”
A WORLD AT WAR: CREATING INSURGENT CHICAGO IN ATLANTA
The sequel’s more elaborate sets, wider variety of detailed costumes and bigger
action sequences were designed to immerse moviegoers in a world at war in The Divergent
Series: Insurgent, as well as thrust them into the more intense and dangerous SIMs.
The five factions of this future society are Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Amity
and Candor. Though still set in a future walled-in Chicago, the production was based in filmfriendly Atlanta. “One of the challenges was finding very distinct looks as we go from
faction to faction,” says executive producer Todd Lieberman. “We start in lush Amity, which
is outside and beautiful; we go to the eclectic Factionless, which is mostly interior, featuring
metal and concrete; and then we go to black-and-white Candor, which has clean lines and
reflective surfaces.”
Production designer Alec Hammond observes, “The Divergent Series: Insurgent
is really five films in one. You have to shift gears completely for the look of each faction, as
they all have different rules.”
Filmmakers actually created three full-sized, 360-degree environment builds: Amity,
Factionless and Erudite, plus dozens of smaller-scale sets. “Chicago was not fully explored in
the first film. We primarily saw only the Abnegation village and Dauntless Pit, as well as little
bits and pieces of Erudite,” comments Hammond. “During production of the first movie,
the third book had not yet been written. We had a great advantage in designing this film
knowing the full breadth of the novels. We were able to give each portion its own visual
character, from the architecture to the clothes to the props.”
World-renowned costume designer Louise Mingenbach oversaw a massive costume
department. “Establishing each of these worlds, we had to dress upwards of 400 extras to
create the feeling of each of these factions. That meant we needed about 700 costumes
multiplied by five,” estimates Mingenbach. “I enjoyed the challenge of working in each
faction’s restricted color scheme, which was something I’d never done.”
Lieberman adds, “Robert wanted to put his own stamp on the costumes, and the
16
intent was to differentiate each faction, but not have all of the people within each faction
dress the same. Amity has earth tones, Candor has blacks and whites, Dauntless has blacks
and silvers, Erudite has blues, but when we go to Factionless, it’s a hodgepodge. Louise has
done a really fantastic job of being stylish and modern, but at the same time fitting within the
palette of those factions.”
Peaceful Amity: Launching into the Action
The film starts with a palette of earth tones including saffrons, yellows, khakis,
ochres, siennas, browns and maroons. “Much of the action in Divergent took place in darker
places, like the Dauntless Pit,” comments Wick. “We were so happy that Veronica started
the book in this bright, rustic Amity, so we could open the film with sunshine and beauty in
the middle of Tris’ nightmare. That contrast was great. Part of the way to build on the
original film was to show lighter parts of the world.”
Octavia Spencer, whose character Johanna plays the leader of Amity who grants the
heroes refuge inside the faction’s peaceful farm, says, “The scope of Amity is epic—one of
my favorite sets that I’ve ever been on, with a massive green meadow and beautiful
farmlands. We have this gorgeous geo-dome, built around this majestic tree. Amity is very
different from what you see in the other factions. Our colors are bright, earthy, golds and
reds for very sunny people. I love that; it’s breathtaking.”
Filmmakers had six weeks, hampered by spring rain, to create the 13-acre Amity set
inside an established rural community. Over 200 workers of every type of craft worked
seven days a week on three major structures: constructing the signature Amity Dome with
the tree centerpiece, building a crumbling concrete freeway overpass, and altering the
existing horse stable. All the while, dozens of greens crew members planted vegetables,
flowers and grass crops, and covered parking areas and sidewalks with tons of organic
material.
“The idea was to be able to film 360 degrees around, run all over the place, drive
trucks through our set,” says art director Alan Hook. “We had drones out there filming and
huge scoping cranes. The dome was a huge wood and glass structure: 65 feet tall and 100
feet around. We need all of this at the top of the shooting schedule, so pulling it all off in
time was probably the biggest nail-biter on the show. We worked on the dome right up until
the morning that it was shot.
17
“Robert was very clear early on that the first set needed to have a wow factor,” adds
Hook. “The audience needed to come over that rise, look out under the broken-down
expressway, over the field, and see the dome. Our heroes have just run through the woods
and the first thing they see needs to be a big visual statement. I’m proud of the dome and
the team who created it.”
Tris’ sunny Amity wardrobe was also in contrast to her turmoil. “I showed Robert 50
or 60 ideas for Amity women,” remembers Mingenbach. “In the first movie, you only see
bits of Amity. This time Robert and I talked about opening up the palette, seeing more skin,
and putting more variety in their costumes. That’s also how we found the look for Naomi
Watts in Factionless, as well as Tris’ main costume.”
“The key to the Amity set design is the crumbling concrete overpass in view of the
dome and the barn. You have to see that Amity is an artificial society superimposed on what
was there before,” says Hammond. “In our research phase Robert found a photo of two
girls on a swing underneath an overpass. We used that image early in the film because it
created the right juxtaposition—a sense of Eden where you never forget that this is a ruined
world.”
Johanna’s barn loft office, facial scar and flowing costumes helped Octavia Spencer find her
character, who has chosen to make peace the main value of her life. Set decorator Kathy
Lucas and her team spent weeks scouring the Georgia countryside for the many textured and
weathered pieces of one-of-a-kind furniture for the office. That style “happens to be a chic
interior design motif right now, so we were able to find stuff that looked reclaimed, or was,”
says Lucas. “Also some very talented local set dressers actually built a lot of the furniture.”
Prosthetics makeup artist Margie Kaklamanos was flown in to create the character’s
signature facial scar. “We did quite a few makeup tests before we started filming,” says
Spencer. “Getting the scar applied definitely takes me out of Octavia’s world into Johanna’s
world. There is a story behind that scar, which she wears like a badge of honor, and it brings
me to who the character is.”
In addition to the massive sets and incredible costumes and makeup, for this
installment, Hammond and his art department also designed new vehicles and weapons,
which played heavily in the heroes’ escape and chase from Amity. The 55,000-pound military
vehicles that carry Max and Eric to find the rebels in Amity had recently been
decommissioned as troop carriers in Afghanistan.
18
Schwentke insisted on verisimilitude when it came to weaponry as well. “Robert
wanted his guns to actually fire,” says Hammond. “He wanted to see the recoil, the muzzle
flash and the shells ejecting. We redesigned the weapons from scratch based on existing
weapons systems, and we had casings made that fit onto real firearms.”
The Divergent Series: Insurgent team also designed a cargo train on which to
stage a fight when Tris, Four and Caleb first encounter the Factionless. “Our mission was to
put a phenomenal fight scene together,” states Prescott. “We always adapt to the
environment and the side-by-side train cars were a unique, cool place to stage a fight—we
could bring guys in and out, hang them off fabric, and use the train and the sliding doors as
weapons.”
“Inside the train, we created layers, nooks, crannies and levels to give the stunts a
playground,” says Hook. And while Tris, Four and Caleb’s safety is so tenuous on board,
audiences will be waiting in suspense to see if the Factionless compound they are headed to
will prove even more dangerous refuge.
Factionless: A Secret World
As Roth explains, “Abnegation believe in selflessness, Candor believe in honesty,
Dauntless are into bravery, Erudite value intelligence, and Amity value kindness,
peacefulness and friendship. A person still in the faction system believes that to be
Factionless means to be without community, to be disenfranchised and on your own, and a
failure in the most essential way. But, to someone who is Factionless, it means freedom.”
“The Amity palette was specific, but the Factionless palette is all over the place,”
comments Hammond. “One of the main challenges was making Factionless into something.
We realize they may have been homeless at one point, but they’re far from that now. We
discovere that they’re actually as well organized as any faction.”
The four-story-high Factionless set filled an entire warehouse space and continued
outside into the parking lot. “Factionless is another showcase of Alec Hammond’s incredible
production design. It’s colorful, it’s full of life, it’s a little steampunk, it’s got a retro feel, and
it’s teeming with life. It’s just a beautiful set,” comments Lieberman.
“Factionless is the one place in Divergent Chicago where we see art, graffiti, murals
and individual expressions of color in their living spaces and their clothes,” adds Hammond.
The interior portion consists of concrete cubbies, each with a different apartment
and its own unique story inside. The set also features a full-sized scrap-wood house dropped
19
in the middle of all the concrete features, home to Factionless leader Evelyn. “The world has
been meticulously mapped out—each character has such specificity to the props and set
dressing in their environment,” says Lieberman.
Naomi Watts, who plays Evelyn, agrees. “The Factionless set was incredible,
especially the way they have built something out of nothing, recycling old junk,” says the
actress. “I brought my boys to set once and they still talk about it to this day. I loved
working there. I would have brought some pieces home with me if I could.”
In addition to the individualized cubbies, filmmakers designed a new logo that
appears as graffiti and new tattoos for the Factionless. But it was their clothes that provided
the biggest expression of their individuality. “We saw Factionless only briefly as homeless
people in the first movie, but they play very strongly in this film,” says Mingenbach. “An
important story point is that they are these super-strong, creative characters, and we
expressed that with stronger colors and more outlandish clothes at home.
“Evelyn’s signature item started as a vintage jacket with a bit of white detailing at the
edges,” she continues. Producer Douglas Wick suggested throwing paint on the jacket to add
contrast. “We ended up throwing bleach at it, a pretty scary thing to do, but it looked
fantastic. It’s so nice to have producers who are involved and interested. I don’t know if I
would have thrown bleach at a one-of-a-kind jacket on my own,” she laughs.
To film the turning point where Tris decides to save her allies by turning herself in to
Jeanine, filmmakers shot a scene where Tris walks from Factionless to Erudite. To capture
her courageous journey, filmmakers arranged a brief shoot in Chicago, which involved
opening all the bridges over the Chicago River simultaneously. “Tris is journeying across the
city to give herself up to Jeanine and we realized this is a moment where we could really
show off Chicago,” reveals Hook. “One of the defining elements in the city is the river with
its bridges. In the film, Lake Michigan has dried up and so has the river; so we have Tris
walk right down the middle of the Chicago River.”
To accomplish this, production worked with the Coast Guard to hold boat traffic
and the Department of Transportation to coordinate all of the bridges. “The Chicago River
is in the middle of the city. It intersects Michigan Avenue and is the busiest and most touristfilled area, so we couldn’t have done it without tremendous cooperation from the city,” says
supervising location manager, Janice Polley.
20
On top of Candor
Insurgent clearly states that Candor Headquarters is located within the landmark
Chicago Merchandise Mart. To create Candor in Atlanta, filmmakers used the rooftop patio
of Atlanta’s AmericasMart for the attack, and a spacious, glassed portion of the interior of
the top floor to build Jack Kang’s office.
Polley notes, “The actual Merchandise Mart in Chicago is about the size of a New
York City block, and it’s right next to the Chicago River. There’s absolutely no comparison
in size to any building in Atlanta. Using the AmericasMart buildings was challenging because
in the attack sequence, stuntmen were zip-lining from another 26th floor rooftop over to our
22nd floor rooftop over Peachtree Street. For safety we had to get permission to shut down
the biggest street running through downtown Atlanta.”
The Candor attack sequence was complicated for other reasons as well, explains
Wade Allen. “The roof of Candor Headquarters is being assaulted from three separate
surrounding rooftops, with harpoon lines across the void. We had guys rappelling off the
buildings, and up to six people at a time zip-lining while firing weapons across a 300-foot-tall
gap in the buildings. Great fun for a stunt team.”
An additional set for the Candor assembly forum was built at the new OFS
production facility in Norcross, Georgia. “The truth-telling set was an example of a creative
solution to a potentially expensive challenge,” says Lieberman. “In the scene, Four and Tris
have to bare their souls in front of the entire faction, after they’ve taken this truth serum. In
the book, the space is described as a stadium-seating arena lecture hall, and we were having a
lot of trouble finding that available in Atlanta, so Alec and Robert decided to do something
completely different. They came up with this truth-telling pod, which is all mirrors. The
conceptual idea is that once you go inside you can’t turn anywhere without looking out at
other people, and at the same time seeing yourself. It embodies the idea of vulnerability.
That mirrored set is one of those instances where the space really embodies the feel of what
you want.”
Jack Kang’s glass office to the truth-telling pod embody what the Candor faction
stand for: being able to see through lies and the vulnerability one feels when telling the truth
to others by having to look at yourself.
21
Inside Erudite: Testing Tris
The third large build of the production was the Erudite headquarters (which included
Jeanine’s laboratory, a control room, holding cells and hallways), and it was constructed in
the entirety of Stage 10 at Screen Gems Studios in Atlanta.
The lab was the most complicated set to build, according to construction
coordinator, Greg Callas, in part because it has no straight lines. “The walls and ceiling are all
curved and whenever you come to a corner, there are often compound angles,” says Callas.
“My crew drilled 10,000 holes in the walls for the tubes and each of the drill angles had to be
perfect.”
“Erudite’s main lab can almost be described as a fishbowl but in fact it’s a giant
10,000-square-foot set with bulletproof glass and 16 projectors creating a lighting
environment,” says Waldman. “As an audience member, you’ll want to buckle in and get
ready to enjoy really cool stuff that you haven’t seen before.”
One of the storytelling hurdles the filmmakers had to overcome in the lab is the
change in point of view from Tris in the SIM and Jeanine watching Tris perform in the SIM,
says Hammond. “We wanted to come up with a way that you could see the physical
externalization of the SIM in the actual lab space.”
Filmmakers used a combination of practical effects on set and visual effects in post
to create black tentacles by which Divergent test subjects were suspended midair in the glass
room. “Tris floats from the tentacles, thus being able to show her body movements that
match what’s happening in the SIM,” explains Hook.
Hammond adds, “We filled the main lab with almost 10,000 high-tech-feeling glass
tubes that shift in color and intensity. A series of projectors light up the back of the tubes to
show perspective changes. We were able to undulate the surface and actually show an
evolution as Tris was completing the SIMs. The room changed with Tris’ emotions inside
the SIM. For example, if she was in distress the room could echo that.”
Technicians outside the glass enclosure also monitored the Divergent in the SIMs
with hologram work stations, which were added in post-production. “We tried to do
something where we almost felt the lab was inside of a computer, since for much of it we’re
inside Tris’ head,” says Hook. “We married those three layers—the tentacles, the lighted
walls and the holograms—to make the concept clearer.”
22
The key prop in Jeanine’s lab was invented as a storytelling device, creating the film’s
cliffhanger. “The box was actually one of the trickier design elements,” says Hammond.
“Jeanine’s ultimate goal is to open the box, and she’ll stop at nothing to figure out what’s
inside.”
“The design of the box went through many different incarnations. There were lots of
questions to answer in the design process,” says Waldman. “When does it light up? Does it
have twinkly lights? Blue lights? Red lights? What is the texture?”
The objective, according to Wick, was to create an object that balanced the sense of
something ancient with the idea of a flourishing technological society.
“We ended up with the five-sided pentagonal solid with one of the five factions
represented on each of the sides,” explains Hammond. “They did a beautiful job with the
gold paint; the tarnishing and aging has a bit of iridescence. Our prop master Sean Mannion
worked with artisans in Los Angeles on the final version. From our 3-D print they made a
mold, cast it in fiberglass and resin, and then bolted all of the LEDs and light-up panels in
place.”
Defy Reality: Inside the SIMs
“The stakes are higher in The Divergent Series: Insurgent,” says 2nd Unit
Director/VFX Supervisor James Madigan. “Tris is in real jeopardy when she goes into the
SIMs the first movie, she could just say ‘this isn’t real’ and crack the code, but in The
Divergent Series: Insurgent, if she dies in a SIM, she actually dies.”
In order to open the box, Tris must pass the SIMs for Dauntless, Candor,
Abnegation, Erudite and Amity by demonstrating bravery, honesty, selflessness, intelligence
and peacefulness.
Creating the simulations required a combination of live-action footage involving
elaborate stunts and practical effects and spectacular post-production visual effects. “We
started our conversations on this film talking about the SIMs, because they are the hardest
puzzles to solve, but also the greatest opportunity,” says Hammond.
“The first movie gave the audience a glimpse of what the SIMs could be; but now
with Erudite’s radical tactics, they’ve become fully evolved,” states Waldman. “The amazing
part of working with visual directors like Robert Schwentke is that they take reality up to
level 10. You want the audience to sometimes wonder if it’s real.”
23
The Amity SIM begins with Tris falling midair through the city center. Everyone has
those falling dreams where you’re falling in a way that is horrifying but also slow and neverending,” comments Madigan. “When we started exploring different ideas in pre-viz, we
realized the SIMs gave us a great opportunity to relay the emotional content needed inside
fantasy elements. We knew the SIMs were a great chance to show Tris’ emotional struggle
and take a deeper look at what she was internalizing. There are no rules here, just her
emotions and her struggle to survive.”
Beyond the Wall to Allegiant
“In Insurgent, we’re starting to see the incredible upheaval of the faction system,
while Jeanine is trying to keep everything under control,” says Roth. “By the end,
everything’s completely a mess and it’s really unclear what is going to happen from here. But
I will say the big exciting thing about what happens next is that we get to see what’s outside
the fence. In Allegiant, we get to follow Tris and Four into a place unlike anything they’ve
ever known and unlike anything that we’ve seen.”

Also in 2004, Judd starred in Twisted for director Philip Kaufman. She starred on
Broadway for six months in the leading role of Maggie in Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot

HBO’s Norma Jean & Marilyn.
Judd made her debut theater performance in the Naked Angels production of Busted,
directed by Timothy Hutton. She then went on to star on Broadway in William Inge’s
45
Pulitzer Prize-winning play Picnic, at the Roundabout Theatre Company. Judd was
simultaneously filming an unforgettable supporting role in the film Smoke, portraying the
daughter of Harvey Keitel and Stockard Channing.
Judd is a member of the board of directors for PSI (Population Services
International). She joined PSI as a board member in 2004 after serving as global ambassador
for PSI’s HIV education and prevention program, YouthAIDS, since 2002. Judd has visited
PSI programs in Thailand, Cambodia, Madagascar, Kenya, South Africa, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In her work, she witnesses the lives of the exploited and poor to help educate the world
about the reality of global poverty and bring solutions to the devastating effects of social
injustice and gender inequality.
In her role as PSI board member, she has graced the covers of countless magazines
and been the subject of newspaper and television interviews bringing vital awareness to
issues closest to her heart: gender inequality and poverty alleviation. Judd has visited
legislators on Capitol Hill, addressed the General Assembly of the U.N. on the scourge that
is human trafficking, spoken at the National Press Club, and testified before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee for the protection of vulnerable women from violence, sexual
abuse and HIV. Most recently, she served as an expert panelist at Clinton Global Initiative to
discuss the issue of safe water and the empowerment of girls in the developing world.
PSI is a DC-based nonprofit organization operating in more than 65 countries. With
programs in malaria, reproductive health, child survival and HIV, PSI promotes products,
services and healthy behavior that enable low-income and vulnerable people to lead healthier
lives.
Judd is also a spokesperson for the organizations Defenders for Wildlife and The
Sierra Club, providing her time and voice to advocate against practices of aerial wolf hunting
(Defenders for Wildlife), and mountaintop-removal coal mining (The Sierra Club).
A Phi Beta Kappa nominee and honors student of the University of Kentucky with a
major in French and four minors, Judd studied the Meisner technique in acting when she
first went to Hollywood. In 2010 she received her mid-career master’s in public
administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Judd resides in Tennessee with her beloved pets and enjoys a quiet, rural life.
