Yes Woodley seems set to join the increasingly crowded ranks of talented actresses between 15- and 25 that are making a name for themselves in the industry that includes Lawrence, Stewart, Wasikowska,Elizabeth Olsen, Imogen Poots, Moretz,Elle Fanning, Isabelle Fuhrmann and Saorise Ronan (not to mention 2012 breakout stars who fall slightly outside the age range at both ends Wallis, Winstead and Marling) that look set to ring in a new generation of actresses that have industry insiders buzzing about the increased competition for roles that the next few years will bring. I'n not sure if this can bring Woodley to the top of the pecking order but a franchise will definitley help her exposure.

I don't know Woodley's work, but a real actress (I assume she is) should have the right to have not her name associated to a curiosity's tabloid as Stewart, is degrading and humiliating.

I have read Divergent and I ydo not feel that Shalene Woodley is a good match for the role of Beatrice. She may have demonstrated the acting chops in the Descendants but she does not appear to have the right persona for the role of Beatrice. Just my observation.

Yes, Woodley will be a big thing in the business and will hopefully get much acclaim for some serious (or maybe comedic) acting gigs.
But this story sounds (haven't read the book(s)) like absolutely non-sensical garbage. At least the plot describtion does. Why do those YA books all seem so alike?
