Hurry up, this science fiction trilogy which grossed $765 million is about to leave the Prime Video catalog. If you want to catch up with her, now is the time or never!
Almost ten years after the release of the first film Divergent, Prime Video pleased nostalgic fans by adding the trilogy adapted from Veronica Roth’s novels to its catalog. Subscribers were able to see the first steps of Shailene Woodley and Theo James in the shoes of Beatrice Prior and Tobias Eaton. The film, directed by Neil Burger, is set in a post-apocalyptic world where society is divided into five clans based on specific personality traits. When her aptitude test reveals that she is a “divergent”, a rare individual who does not belong to any clan, the teenager decides to join the brutal universe of the Dauntless whose training is based on the mastery of our innermost fears. Despite a five-star cast, Hollywood production, constantly compared to Hunger Gamesis far from convincing critics and spectators.
Only three days left to see the trilogy Divergent before his departure from Prime Video
Despite the relative success of the first part of Divergenttwo other parts, entitled L’Insurrection et Beyond the wall, were launched in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Don’t miss the opportunity to see or rewatch the trilogy Divergent before she leaves Prime Video on January 12. Remember that a fourth feature film, initially planned to conclude the saga, was abandoned by the studio Lionsgate due to the disappointing results of the third film at the box office. Years after the cancellation of Divergent 4the author Veronica Roth, who is at the origin of the novels, confided to having “always felt at peace” with this decision. “Doing things in two parts was the fashion at the time. That’s why that decision was made. But at that point, I think I always felt at peace with it, because I knew that the films took a different turn from the books”she declared to the American site People.
-Divergent : the science fiction saga was to end with a TV movie
When the continuation of Divergent was canceled, the Lionsgate studio had the idea of developing a TV movie as well as a series to conclude the saga in style. As reported by the American media Varietythe idea was to finalize the storylines involving Shailene Woodley (Beatrice), Theo James (Tobias) and Ansel Elgort (Caleb), before introducing a new cast which would then continue in a series potentially broadcast on streaming or on a traditional channel . Neither the TV movie nor the spin-off series mentioned by Lionsgate ever saw the light of day.
