You’re Too Good

Shailene Woodley chatted with Entertainment Weekly recently about her new movie, Divergent. Shailene plays Tris Prior in the upcoming movie based on the best selling book by Veronica Roth.

In the interview, Shailene also talked her Divergent costar, Miles Teller, her reaction to Allegiant, the change in movie directors, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On Miles:  “Miles is my favorite person to act across from, because we both approach acting from the same vantage point — which is, we really both love to be on a movie set. A lot of actors go on movie sets and take it incredibly seriously, and don’t talk to anyone, and kind of keep to themselves, or have to keep in character.

Which is their process, and there’s no judgment, and that’s great for them. But that’s not how I work. I love the interaction with every single person involved, and so does Miles. So it was fun to have somebody that I could play with.”

On her reaction to the ending of Allegiant:  “I was stoked. I thought that it was such a badass decision of Veronica Roth, and so incredibly powerful. I love that she didn’t sort of buy into the breakdown of what most young adult books, like, the outline of what’s happened in previous young adult books.

Men die all the time in films – heroes do. But a lot of sweet heroines don’t. And so I thought it was a very powerful, profound decision on her part. And I really love that she had the courage and the bravery to do that.”
