Production

Pre-production

In December 2013, Summit Entertainment announced that the film adaptation of Allegiant, the third and final novel in the Divergent trilogy, would be released in March 2016, serving as the finale of the series, which at the time was planned as a trilogy,[3] but on April 11, 2014 the studio decided to split the novel into a two-part film, much like the Harry Potter, Twilight, and Hunger Games franchises did with the finales of their series. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger said in a statement that, "Veronica Roth brings her captivating story to a masterful conclusion in ‘Allegiant,’ a rich, action-packed book with material that is ideally suited to two strong and fulfilling movies. The storytelling arc and world of the characters lend themselves perfectly to two films, a storytelling strategy that has worked very well for us on the two ‘Twilight Breaking Dawn’ films and about which we’re tremendously enthusiastic for the two upcoming ‘Mockingjay’ films of ‘The Hunger Games’ franchise".[8] Noah Oppenheim was announced as the screenwriter for the first part of the Allegiant adaptation on July 9, 2014.[9] On December 5, 2014, it was announced that Robert Schwentke will return to direct Part 1.[10] On September 10, 2015, it was announced that the two-part finale would be re-titled, with Part 1 being renamed as The Divergent Series: Allegiant and Part 2 as The Divergent Series: Ascendant.[11]

Casting

In March 2015, it was confirmed that Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Zoë Kravitz, Naomi Watts, Miles Teller, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Octavia Spencer were all set to reprise their roles from the previous films.[12]

On April 28, 2015, it was reported that Golden Globe nominee Jeff Daniels joined the cast as David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.[5] On May 1, 2015, it was announced that Bill Skarsgard had joined the cast as Matthew.[6]

Filming

Filming began on May 18, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia[13][14] and concluded on August 23, 2015. From June 11 to June 23, filming took place at the Lindale Mill in Lindale, Georgia, where the set was being built in late-May.[15]

Promotion

A teaser trailer was released on September 15, 2015, followed by a full length trailer two months later on November 12, 2015.

Sequel

The final film in the series, The Divergent Series: Ascendant, will be released on March 24, 2017.[1]
