Divergent final movie cancelled- now heading to TV
Veronica Roth's Divergent book trilogy is a pretty good example of Young Adult fiction with a canny lead and a ballsy finale. The movie adaptations to date have manage to capture some elements of the books, with the help of a decent cast led by Shailene Woodley, but the decision to split the last chapter into two parts left Allegiant feeling more than a little undercooked.
The result was a rather pretty sci-fi action flick which cost over 110 million dollars and earned just under 180 million. That's a chunk less than either of the previous entries, and Lionsgate has decided to take drastic action.
