"Movie-making is a long and complicated process. That said, the following encouraging and great things have happened so far: the film rights have been sold to Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate; Red Wagon, a production company, has also signed on to work on it; Evan Daugherty, screenwriter, wrote a screenplay; Neil Burger has signed on to direct; Shailene Woodley has been cast as Tris; Theo James has been cast as Four; Kate Winslet has been cast as Jeanine; Ansel Elgort, Zoe Kravitz, Jai Courtney, and Maggie Q have been cast as Caleb, Christina, Eric, and Tori, respectively; shooting is scheduled to start in April of 2013, and in other news, my brain is constantly on the verge of exploding due to Awesome Overload."
