"I'm such a physical, active person," Woodley told PEOPLE during a visit to the set. "So to be able to incorporate that with legit fight training and climbing up and down Ferris wheels, I'm so lucky."

"I wish they would let me do more stunts," Woodley says. "I think it's really fun!"

New Divvergent Movie Still - Tris Ready to Jump Off the Pit - First Look at the Abnegation and Dauntless Outfits

Divergent doesn't come 'til March 2014 but the stills from the upcoming movie has been pretty fast - which is pretty good for the fandom! The new still features Tris (played by Shailene Woodley) on her Abnegation outfit (obviously it's grey). If I'm not mistaken this is the scene wherein she's going to jump off the pit to show her fearlessness during the Dauntless initiation. You can also see at the background a few initiates (most are dauntless) on their black leather outfits. 


You see, this still also shows us the costume designs for the Abnegation and Dauntless factions. What do you think?

Shailene Woodley on bonding with her co-stars:

“It’s a good group,” she says. “We’re hanging out on weekends, celebrating birthdays. Everyone just wants to get to know one another. It’s rare to get a big group together and not have any conflicts. It’s really kind of amazing.”

On the knives-throwing scene:

“It’s about being selfless and standing up for what’s right,” Woodley says.
But don’t worry about those knives: “They’re just rubber,” she says.

Shailene Woodley Talks About the Ideal Actor to Play Four in Divergent

This is a continuation to MTV's interview with Shailene Woodley at the Sundance Film Festival. This time the actress talked about who should play Four, a divergent and will be Tris' main love interest. Find out more below:

On finding Four:
"Dude, I want to find him. We have been doing some tests. We've been doing some auditions," Woodley said. "We'll see what happens. As of now, we have been scoping out the land. There are a few in particular — two guys — that I think are really great."

On the ideal guy who should play Four:

"The thing about Four is that he has to be a man. No feminine actors, please," she said. "You cannot walk in that room in pretty little boots and pretend you're a man. I'm sorry. You need to walk in there, and you need to not have muscles that look good and not actually work. There have been a few guys that have this power about them. It's a natural masculine power that some people have and some people don't. There's nothing good or bad or wrong or right about it. This character needs to be extremely masculine, and his eyes need to scream vulnerability and sensitivity. It's really hard to find in a dude, especially a dude who can act."

Screen testing with actors for Four:
"It's more just the chemistry between the two of us and seeing if we do have that chemistry or can work on that chemistry — seeing if our back-and-forth dialogue makes any sense with each other," she explained. "There's a lot of standards that have to be met."

On the challenge of playing Tris:
"I think that a big thing is just pretending that I live in that world. It's a world that's so different from today, but not really," she said. "Thinking of the dystopian world and living in different factions and not being allowed to express your multiple personalities. Being constricted to one thing is going to be the challenge."

Shailene Woodley Talks About Her Interest in Joining Divergent as Tris (VIDEO)

MTV has recently chatted with Shailene Woodley at the Sundance Festival in Utah and she was able to talked about why she became interested in Divergent.



On reading the book and on participating in big films:

“I didn’t [read the book prior to auditioning]. I read the book – I thought it was really… my whole thing, to be honest, was that I never wanted to do big films. Especially one that was similar to Hunger Games or Twilight. Something with a huge fan base that would carry on for multiple years.”


Why did she join Divergent?

“After reading the book I was really profoundly moved. [The book is] very metaphorical for things that are going on today. Specifically things that I’m passionate about, and things I want to make public, and things I want to educate people on. So I think it’s a really great platform.”

When asked what in the book happens in real life today:

“In Divergent people are injected with this serum and then controlled by it. And I think it’s really funny that right now we’re beginning to chip our dogs and chip our babies. That’s just a small example, I could go on for hours. There’s also mind control that gets dealt with in Divergent – that’s going on today, nobody knows about that.”

Shailene Woodley in Final Negotiations to Play Tris in Divergent Movie

A lot of entertainment portals have reported that Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) is rumored to play Tris for the much anticipated film adaption of Veronica Roth's dystopian novel Divergent. Though we didn't have any press release from Summit Entertainment (a subsidiary of Lionsgate) about the official casting yet, Veronica Roth has confirmed on her blog that Shailene Woodley is in her final negotiations to play Beatrice "Tris" Prior in Divergent movie. Read more below to find out more about her message:

This leads me into our next piece of news: Shailene Woodley is in final negotiations to play Tris!

From the moment I heard that she was being considered, I have been nothing but enthusiastic.  My priority has always been, first and foremost, that the role of Tris be well-acted, and Shailene has proven how talented she is, as anyone who has seen The Descendants can attest. And physically, what's most important to me, far and away more important than other aspects of her appearance, is that Tris does not look like an action hero-- she looks like a slight person with youthful, delicate features, someone who shocks you with how strong and capable she becomes. To me, that is exactly the look Shailene has, exactly the look I've always had in my mind. From what I've seen, I'm confident she will be able to capture Tris's particular mixture of vulnerability and strength, and that surprising moment when a seemingly unremarkable girl from Abnegation transforms into a powerful yet flawed young woman.

You can read the rest of the post here. Veronica Roth also talked about her confidence on Neil Burger, who will direct the film adaptation of Divergent.

Shailene Woodley in final negotiations to play Tris
So what do you think of Shailene playing Tris in Divergent? 

I think Shailene has the acting chops and I believe that she will be able to play Tris very well. Haters gonna hate and it's pretty normal to have all sorts of negativity when a book is adapted into film because we always have our own Tris in mind. Believe me, I know you have also considered yourself or has pictured yourself as Tris. What's important is that the actress must be able to bring out the character to life - not about her physique or she's too pretty or too frail to handle the action scenes and all that stuff. If Veronica is confident enough that her own story (the world she created and shared to us) is in good hands, let's just support her and be proud that it will be adapted to films. Film makers or casting people do not just pick out someone to play the part if they know that she/he is not capable enough to handle it. Look people, same thing happened when Jennifer Lawrence was chosen to play Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games." At first a lot of people were against the casting because she's blonde, too pretty and too healthy to play the part. And you know what? She turned out to be the great Katniss you could ever imagine. By the way, in case you haven't heard, Shailene Woodley was among the actresses who were considered to play Katniss before Lionsgate decided that Jennifer Lawrence was their heroine.
