Divergent Behind The Scenes

Have you ever wondered what goes into making a complex film like Divergent? Well, wonder no more-- we’ve done all the research for you! We will be learning about the intense, Dauntless bootcamp the entire cast had to complete, the iconic seven-story jump – just how many takes did she do? We'll also be learning about the stunning visual effects that were meticulously crafted to maintain believabiltiy.
Part of what made Divergent such a fun film to shoot, was the natural chemistry between the cast. They had such much of it, in fact, that Theo James pulls a prank on Shailene Woodley during the big ferris wheel scene. How did they find Theo to play Four, anyway?
Did you know the author, Veronica Roth, was very involved in making the film? So involved, she might’ve actually been in front of the camera a few times. If you missed her, don't worry, we’ll fill you in.
The Divergent world is full of incredible fight scenes, special effects, and elaborate set pieces you wouldn’t believe are actually set pieces– yes we’re talking about the pit! We’re also going to go into how much the city of Chicago shaped the visuals and special effects as well as the inevitable battle scars received by Zoe Kravitz and Shailene Woodley! And did we mention the incredible zipline that travels through all of downtown Chicago? After this video, you'll be an expert on how an action-packed film like Divergent is brought to life.
