'Insurgent' movie news: Train scene filmed for Divergent sequel
The unforgettable train scene from the "Divergent" follow-up movie "Insurgent" is now being filmed in Coweta, Ga., which is located near Fulton County.
The cast members of the dystopian film adapted from Veronica Roth's trilogy are reprising their roles for the next film.
Lead stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James will return to the big screen once again as Tris and Four to stand up for their rights against the forces that are keeping the society divided according to their personalities. Aside from Woodley and James, other celebrities will return to the sequel as well, including Kate Winslet (Jeanine Matthews), Ansel Elgort (Caleb), Zoe Kravitz (Christina), Mekhi Phifer (Max), Maggie Q (Tori), and Ashley Judd (Natalie).
A source mentioned that the film production crew headed to a pasture to shoot a scene.
The source also said that the filming did not last long, and it only took them a couple of hours before the wrapping up the set.
Meredith Wilson, the owner of the pasture, granted an interview with the reporters and told them that the crew filmed the scenes with trains that travel all over the post-apocalyptic Chicago where the Dauntless jump off whenever they want to go to a certain place.
"They just wanted some landscaping for the train to go by," said the pasture's owner. "There will be computer graphics added to the scene," Wilson added.
The train cars, which were said to look like vehicles that "almost looked like cages," were brought to the set using a trailer.
Furthermore, the Divergent Trilogy is based on Roth's bestselling young adult fiction with the same title. The story deals with the division within the society that is determined by a person's instinctive characteristics. There are five factions where a person over the age of 16 should belong, which are Dauntless (for the brave), Amity (for the peace-lovers), Erudite (for the intelligent), Candor (for the honest), and Abnegation (for the selfless).
Insurgent is expected to be released on March 20, 2015.
