I know she is the same age as the character (or very close to it) but I don't know why.. Chloe just looks too young to me!
Maybe a newcomer will ride n and sweep fans off their feet! Who knows?!

I'm really hoping for a no-name actor//actress to play the lead roles. I don't want to see any big names in it as I'll just see them as whoever they were in the last movie I saw them in...

I agree, i also think if they find people - fresh actors who can perform - but will also bring a sense of realism to the film ( does that even make sense in that context? lolol) What i am trying to say is - I want this movie to be more then just a movie - i don't want it hollywood-afied, i want it to be GOOD - but i want it to be original and good and FIT THE BOOKS. not just fit blockbuster hits

I think the Divergent movie will be good, since Divergent is a well-written book, in the eyes of most people, whereas Twilight is very commercialized and not-so-quality. That's why you're all afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of.

I am afraid anyway.
But i suppose I'm afraid that what happened to Twilight will happen to Divergent.
*nohate* Twilight , although not for everybody - is actually a good book , it's well written - sweet , fluffy and just a nice solid romance series . .The movies killed it. Now Twilight is hated on by everybody , no matter if they've read it or not. D:
THAT CAN NOT HAPPEN TO DIVERGENT!
Because the book is so so amazing , one of the best books i've read, ever.

There's nothing to be afraid of. Alas, I wish it were that simple! There are some really amazing books that have been made into really bad movies. It happens for various reasons, like the script isn't true to the book or the studio decides it needs to tone down certain aspects (in Divergent, it would probably be the violence.) After all, Summit is the same studio that cut out half the plot of The Golden Compass film adaptation because they thought it would upset too many people.

I'm just glad that with divergent you can't have like a team peeta or gale or jason or edward or ky or xander its pretty much just four so it can't be so commercialized

if they cast someone like Taylor Launtner for like Uriah - we may have a problem on our hands. But yeah , i really like that too - no doubt - just Four ! <3 Still i'd rather a Taylor Launtner casting then Uriah being scripted out i like Uriah he's nice. (off topic but i likes your picture. MLP ftw!)

They better not cast Tayler what-ever his name is because Reenie will be frusterated--I'd only see him as the Twilight guy not as Uriah. Same goes for any other famous icon--they can't be cast in this other wise like with Women in Black, (movie, not out yet), I'll be wondering why Harry is there and when Drako is gonna pop out of the shadows.

Also, from book descriptions if I'm recalling correctly, Uriah and Zeke are African-American. Christina is as well, though nobody here has fancast her yet.
And using the Twilight movies as a defense for Summit is not really is good one.. Critically, Twilight is consistently named among the worst films. Fans like it, including me, but even I recognize that they're not high quality.

Well, even though "Twilight" is considered a not-so-great movie by the critics.. the fans of the books love it! I kinda think of it as.. Twilight is a book that has some action but is romance-based, and that's what the fans love about it! Which I totally don't think is a bad thing.. to each their own, right? =P
Anyways, where Twilight is romance with slight plot/action/character development... Divergent is more action/plot/character development... so I hope that the fans will love the movie for those reasons just as much as the fans of Twilight because of what it is.
As far as quality of the films, yeh, I agree.. not the best. I think it's beause there have been SO many versions of what different directors thought this series should be. Some went for romance, some action, all used different styles and colors and such... it made for sort of a bizarre kind of jumpy, not so great quality for a series. Even though HP had different directors... it followed a path that simply made sense, artistically and such.
My biggest hope is that Divergent film-makers sort of.. get their ish together sooner rather than later! If they wanna impress us fans, they'll have to put something together that lives up to Roths' impressive novel!
Also... Chloe all the way for Tris!! =D

I feel like Summit Entertainment may be an alright choice but so would Loingate. But for this movie to actually work, they need to pick people who actually look like they characters their portraying. Oh, and I want the actors to actually READ THE BOOK!!! How are they truly going to understand it if all they're reading is a script?
