A NEW ACTOR JOINS THE CAST OF INSURGENT

Empire Online are reporting that the actress Naomi Watts has secured the role of Evelyn, Tobias Eaton's mother. Evelyn appears in both Insurgent and Allegiant, she plays a very pivotal role that determines the outcome in both books. The casting choice of Watts isn't someone I would of thought of as she doesn't fit the description, however her acting is incredible, especially in The Impossible. I can't wait to see how she will transform into the role of Evelyn, bringing her character to life.

Watts, who will soon head to the Atlanta set to start work, has scored the role of Evelyn, leader of the Factionless. They’re the people in the future society who weren’t selected for any of the various factions, or were dismissed from those they were sorted into originally.

ALLEGIANT TO BE SPILT INTO TWO FILMS

Lionsgate announced earlier today that they will be splitting Allegiant into two parts giving the audience a year wait between both movies, thus the never ending theme of splitting the last instalment into two films. Allegiant: Part One is expected to hit the big screen on March 18th 2016 release, whilst Allegiant: Part Two is expected to arrive on March 24th 2017.

“Veronica Roth brings her captivating story to a masterful conclusion in Allegiant, a rich, action-packed book with material that is ideally suited to two strong and fulfilling movies,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger in a statement. “The storytelling arc and world of the characters lend themselves perfectly to two films, a storytelling strategy that has worked very well for us on the two Twilight Breaking Dawn films and about which we’re tremendously enthusiastic for the two upcoming Mockingjay films of The Hunger Games franchise.”

What do you think of this new move? Like many of the fans will you be disappointed that you have to wait an extra year for the final conclusion?
