There's a new TV spot out for "Insurgent," the sequel to last year's hit YA novel adaptation, "Divergent" (although technically, the film's full name is "The Divergent Series: Insurgent." And there's a lot going on in "Insurgent," which picks up as Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) and her band of rebels fight against the evil Erudite faction, led by the film's villain, played by Kate Winslet.
There's a ton of action in this new spot- despite it being only 30 seconds long, the TV spot features a foot chase between Tris and a group of armed soldiers (most likely Erudite warriors), Tris strapped down by some kind of restraint as a wall explodes behind her, Tris leaping off of a burning building, entire cities being destroyed, characters dangling dangerously off of high ledges, people getting punched in the face and Tris leaping through a glass window in heroic slow-motion.
It's intense stuff- especially when fit into one teeny tiny little TV spot. Check out the footage below.
As "Insurgent" draws closer to its March 20 release date, Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate are going to be ramping up the marketing in a huge way- "Insurgent" is likely to be one of the first (if not the first) major blockbuster of the year, and they'll try to capitalize on the fact that summer movie season now starts as early as March.
One of the biggest draws of the "Divergent" films is the chemistry between Woodley and co-stars- especially Theo James, who plays Tris's love interest and fellow rebel, Four. Naturally, most fans are expecting things to get a little heated in "Insurgent" (especially when Lionsgate releases photos from the film like the one seen above, with Tris and Four missing a few crucial pieces of clothing. And given that the movie may contain "sensual scenes," that's definitely something to look out for.
