Celeb News: Shailene Woodley "not interested" in Divergent TV film

Putting the “dis” in dystopian, Shailene Woodley is bearish on reprising her role as Tris for the Divergent film franchise’s fourth and final entry, Ascendant, which in the wake of waning box office numbers is being produced as a TV-movie, and to set up a possible spinoff TV series.

Woodley was caught off guard by and had to read July’s original reports of the downgrade in the press. Now having had time to process the news, she told Screen Rant (during her rounds of Snowden press), “I didn’t sign up to be in a television show. Out of respect to the studio and everyone in involved, they may have changed their mind and may be doing something different, but I’m not necessarily interested in doing a television show.”

I mean she was on a show that was titled "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" on ABC Family. What standards chould she possibly have?

Lukey

They should still release the movie in the cinemas, but just cut advertising budget.

That's when she first came out in 2008 you can't compare her career now to when she was just starting. She's an acclaimed actress there's even oscar buzz for her role in Snowden.

nobody is

I wouldn't do it either.

Why not? It's not like she's some IT girl with hundreds of big movie offers.

She was just starting back then. It's not like she was gonna turn down the lead role in a hit show, no matter how terrible it was.

She's a pretty acclaimed actress with a bright future for her.

She is PISSED.

Most importantly: she did not SIGN UP for this. They would have to re-negotiate everything I suppose the budget will be TIGHT.

squishy

the public was "not interested" in the franchise tho

mxoonlight

lmaooooooooo

prézli

She's not interested, but she's still signed. Poor gurl.

SupahBass05

I thought she was the one who shot down those rumors. So it's true that the final movie is gonna be on TV?

She's fuming. That's embarrassing for any franchise.

A Little Unruly

I understand that she isn't interested in doing the show, but not doing the movie would be ungrateful.

Solarie

It's not that she's 'too good' for TV , she's doing Big Little Lies with Reese Witherspoon & Nicole Kidman. She just said she didn't sign up on DIVERGENT to be a TV show, which is true. It was supposed to be huge franchise and her career was supposed to benefit from it, instead it flopped. She doesn't have to and shouldn't do tv show, while she can do better things.

lmao this is such an unfortunate situation I'm gagging

A Million Lights

She was signed for a theatrical realease, not a TV release
