Fans of the highly anticipated "Insurgent" movie got a sneak peek with the release of the second and official trailer last Friday. Shailene Woodley reprises her role as Beatrice "Tris" Prior in the second book of Veronica Roth's "Divergent" trilogy.
"Insurgent" continued with the story of Tris and her love-interest, Tobias "Four" Eaton played by Theo James as they outrun the forces of Erudite faction leader, Jeanine Matthews played by Kate Winslet. Jeanine is out to get Divergents and fans had a glimpse of the reason in the newly released trailer as reported by the New Zealand Herald.
A box in the possession of Jeanine takes the spotlight in this sequel as she described it to hold "the future our people deserve." Tris' brother Caleb, played by Ansel Elgort, tells Tris that the Erudite leader is searching for the one who can unlock it.
The trailer leaves the audience with the implication that only a Divergent can open it as the scene cuts to Tris, Four and their other friends fighting back and on the run for their lives. It then showed Tris in captivity with tubes attached to her body as she tells Jeanine her unwillingness to fight her. To which Jeanine answered, "Of course not, you're gonna fight you." A Tris clone then breaks into the glass to attack her.
Another thing the fans could look forward to is the on-screen chemistry between Woodley and James. Tris and Four's love story took a different level in the sequel to Divergent. James told Enstarz.com that he "went for it" during their kissing scene in an effort to make it "as good as possible."
The scene was shot twice as both James and Woodley felt the first time wasn't good enough. "We wanted it to be real and not just be lots of cheese," says James. The sequel also moves to explore Tris' personal growth as she deals with Jeanine and her forces, trying to save her mother and the growing romance between her and Four.
Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Q, Ashley Judd and Jai Courtney are back to play their roles. Keiyan Lonsdale and Rosa Salazar will play newly initiated Dauntless Uriah and Lynn in the sequel. While their characters are originally included in the first book, this is the first time the two will be introduced in the movie. The movie is scheduled for release in theaters on March 2015.
