Posted by Unknown on Friday, November 14, 2014
In the first look at the Divergent sequel, Tris (Shailene Woodley) is desperately trying to save her mom, Natalie (Ashley Judd), again.
When Divergent ended, Tris just narrowly prevented Erudite from overthrowing Abnegation and controlling all the factions, killing "divergents" in the process. In the first Insurgent trailer, Tris returns home to find things looking bleak.
