Some promos for sequels like to lay the groundwork so that newcomers can figure out the basic elements. This first teaser for **The Divergent Series: Insurgent **(yes, that’s really what they’re calling it) instead takes a surreal moment from the story out of context and runs – well, runs, jumps and clings to a rope attached to a floating chunk of a building – with it.
In case you’re feeling a little lost after that odd first look, allow us to fill in the basics. Insurgent, based on Veronica Roth’s second novel, finds Shailene Woodley’s heroine Tris on the run in future Chicago as she and Four (Theo James) evade the power-hungry Erudite leader Jeanine (Kate Winslet). They’ll have to track down what Tris’s family gave their lives to protect, and Tris must face up to her choices as she unlocks the truth about the past and the future of their world. So, you know, just an average day for her since she embraced her Divergent destiny.
With Robert Schwentke directing this time out, and Octavia Spencer, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer and Naomi Watts all aboard,** The Divergent Series: Insurgent** lands on March 20 next year.
