With the charge led by yesterday’s arrival of the new poster, today heralds the coming of the latest trailer for young adult adaptation Divergent starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet.

Taken from Veronica Roth’s series of novels, Divergent is set in a dystopian future world (Chicago, in this case) where people are divided into social factions based on their personalities.
Woodley’s Beatrice “Tris” Prior, however, is different. She doesn’t belong in any one faction, and her divergent nature means she’s a threat to the orderly running of the civilization. Things aren’t easy for those who are identified as different – and by different, we mean dangerous. She joins the Dauntless (courageous) faction but there, together with friends and her mysterious, handsome trailer Four (Theo James), Tris must face the perils ahead and figure out the plans of Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet), the stern figurehead she’ll have to defeat. Can she survive and win out?
The new promo emphasises the Hunger Games-style feeling of this one, and Woodley certainly has the charisma to go up against the likes of Winslet. With Miles Teller, Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Q, Ansel Elgort, Mekhi Phifer, Ray Stevenson and Ashley Judd among the cast, Divergent hits the UK on April 4.
