I Run To You

The Divergent series is getting the splitting books into two movies treatment. Just like, Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games, the final book in the series, Allegiant will be made into two movies.

Lionsgate made the announcement today, April 11. The company revealed, Allegiant Part 1 will be released on March 18, 2016 and Allegiant Part 2 will be released on March 24, 2017. Both films will be produced separately.

Production on the second film in the series, Insurgent will begin in the next couple of weeks in Chicago. It will be released to theaters next March.

Not going to lie, I am unsure the final book has enough story to warrant two movies, but I guess they will just have to add scenes. I also think they should release the second movie within 6 months of releasing the first one. It will keep people’s interest better than making them wait a year.

What do you guys think? Where do you think they will split the movies?
