It's a Shailene Woodley double feature with the trailers of two of her films that were released last month. These are roles that could launch Woodley into a Jennifer Lawrence-like stratosphere.
First up is the trailer of the YA adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars written by John Green. The book is funny, sad and deeply poignant and I'm glad the trailer reflects that tone in it. Directed by Josh Boone, a relative newcomer, the cast features Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Laura Dern, Sam Trammell and Willem Dafoe. Woodley actually cut her long hair to play the part of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenager stricken with cancer who falls in love for the first time. And yes, while that does sound depressing, the characters in the book/film are anything but. This is definitely on my list of films to catch up with this year. The Fault in Our Stars releases June 2014.
Up next is another YA adaptation, this time a dystopian thriller by author Veronica Roth, the first of the best-selling trilogy in which society is divided up into five factions that showcases the best of your abilities. But it also means that everyone looks out for themselves and there are no family loyalties. Beatrice Prior has a difficult path ahead of her when she is shown to be a Divergent and doesn't belong in any one faction. She must navigate her life and those of her loved ones and protect them from the plans of the leader of the Erudite, Jeanine Matthews. The films also stars Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Zoe Kravitz, Miles Teller, Maggie Q, Tony Goldwyn, Ashley Judd and no, your eyes did not deceive you, that's actually Kate Winslet as Matthews. Divergent will release big this March and try to steal a bit of The Hunger Games' thunder as that franchise is midway through its series and their's is just beginning. Are you ready?
