“Shailene is the best young actress around right now, so I couldn’t be happier” says Ansel Elgort about his “The Fault In Our Stars” and “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” costar, Shailene Woodley
The teen sensation Shailene Woodley and the rising star Ansel Elgort who romanced the teen tragedy The Fault In Our Stars play siblings in The Divergent Series: Insurgent which releases on March 20th worldwide including India. The film is distributed by Kinesis in India.
Elgort who plays Tris’ brother Caleb Prior, 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 the producer Douglas Wick.
“One of the opportunities in The Divergent Series: Insurgent was to explore the brother-sister 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.”
Insurgent will be released in 2D as well as digitally re-mastered and released in Digital 3D, IMAX® 3D and RealD 3D for its domestic theatrical release on March 20, 2015.
