Perhaps some of you might have heard of that book above? Perhaps some of you might have read it? Maybe a few less of you read my review on in it in which I freaked out about how much I loved it and how last year it's sequel was my favorite book and the year before, it was my favorite book. Well, it's coming to the big screen and the casting rumors have just begun.
First thing you need to know is it will start filming in April in Chicago. According to the Examiner.com, it's going to have a $40 million budget.
Second thing you need to know is that Tris has been cast. It's final so that's it. The person they cast is...
Shailene Woodley (The Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Descendants)
This was announced about a month ago and Roth said she was okay with the choice. The reason being is that Roth wanted someone slight of frame, somebody with nothing on their bones because that is where Tris's power comes from. People underestimate her. I was a little worried about this choice but I've decided to watch The Descendants before I pout. I've heard she is really good in that and that is ultimately what I want to see the actress playing Tris as...a really good actress.
Now, the last thing you need to know is they haven't cast Four yet. There were rumored to be four actors reading but it looks like they've narrowed it down to three. Here are the men in the front line to play Four. They all had readings with Woodley:
Lucas Till (X-Men First Class)
He happens to be my favorite of the three purely on looks. I think he's about the right age and would work really well for Four's part. I haven't seen him in a lot so I can't really say if he's a good actor but I think he'd do well. He was in the running for Peeta too and I thought he'd be most excellent in that role as well.
Jeremy Irvine (War Horse, Great Expectations)
He's really not a bad option either. Definitely looks the part and though I haven't seen any of his movies, I haven't heard that he's a poor actor. I'd be happy if he was chosen as well.
Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four, Magic Mike)
Pettyfer's been rumored to have read twice for this part so there is a strong chance it could go to him. While he's been in the most movies I've seen and done well in them, I'm just not too crazy on him being cast. Maybe it's because he seems like the obvious choice or maybe because so many people wanted him for Jace from The Mortal Instruments and he was just not interested. If he is cast, I won't be unhappy, I just think he might be a little old for the part.
Do you guys have a favorite for Four? I'm just not really sure but if I had to choose, I think I'd prefer to see it go to either Till or Irvine. Can't wait to hear what you think!
