A new look at Kate Winslet in the latest YA book adaptation flick DIVERGENT had made its way online.
Adapted from the novel by Veronica Roth, the film tells the story of a teenage girl seeking to break free from her homogeneous society that divides people based on human traits. Winslet plays the character Jeanine Matthews, the leader of the faction Erudite and the film’s main antagonist. The interesting story to come out of Winslet’s role is the fact that she was pregnant through out. It is being reported that in some scenes a suitcase is used to cover Winslet’s baby bump!
Speaking about playing the villain, Winslet said:
“I’m no idiot. The idea went through my head that I have never played a baddie before, I was almost kind of surprised.”
As Winslet was casted late in the shooting process, she wanted to make sure that she distanced herself a little from her co-stars to keep a little mystery:
“I wanted to break it and say, ‘It’s OK, I’m really fun. I promise. But I thought, just for today, I’d let them think that I am a complete bitch.”
Filming for DIVERGENT has now completed, and as revealed a couple of weeks ago, the cast will be heading to San Diego Comic-Con this week to reveal first footage from the movie. The film, which stars Shailene Woodley, Miles Teller, Theo James, Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz and Ashley Judd, will be released in the US March 2014.
