Summit has released the second trailer to the upcoming "Divergent."
The trailer was revealed during a live event hosted by director Neil Burger and fans of the books. The new film is based on the novel by Veronica Roth and tells the story of Tris Prior, a teenager with a special mind who finds her life threatened when an authoritarian leader seeks to exterminate her kind in an effort to seize control of their divided society.
The new trailer shows the scope of the film and clarifies the plot for those who have not read the popular novels. Additionally, it shows a lot of action scenes and as well as characters, which were not seen in the teaser released during the MTV VMAs.
The new movie is Summit and Lionsgate's hope of a new teen franchise after the studio's last science fiction film "Ender's Game" failed to capture a great opening weekend. The film has been compared to "The Hunger Games" and the trailer is slated to open in front of the film. These two factors could generate interest especially from "Hunger Games" fans. However, it is not a sure bet, considering the books are not as popular as "The Hunger Games" novels.
"Divergent" stars Shailene Woodley ("The Spectacular Now"), Theo James ("Underworld: Awakening"), Kate Winslet ("The Reader"), Ansel Elgort ("Carrie"), Maggie Q ("Priest"), Miles Tellers ("Rabbit Hole"), Mekhi Phifer ("O"), Jai Courtney ("A Good Day To Die Hard,"), Zoe Kravitz ("X-Men: First Class") and Ashley Judd ("Heat"). The movie is slated to be released on March 21, 2013.
