Ikr! Four was obviously coming up with any excuse to touch her (wow that sounds a lot more wrong than I meant it to be) even if it was just lightly touching her waist. And did you know that zip lining and capture the flag wasn't originally in the book? Veronica's feedback for the manuscript was something along the lines of "you should have some fun mixed in. It's not all dark and depressing" so Veronica tried adding in some fun stuff, zip lining and capture the flag came out, and ended up being one of her favorite parts of the book 

If you consider the "original" book the unedited manuscript you would look at every book you read a lot differently.

It's similar to saying that roughcuts of movies without proper sound editing and graphical effects and stuff are the original.

Yea.


And I was looking at the casting Four votes...

http://divergent.wikia.com/wiki/Top_10_list:Casting_Four

Scroll down to #32.



[removed by moderator].Just...Never.EVER EVER EVER EVER.

He would NEVER EVER pull it off.

And if he did it would be completely and utterly TERRIBLE.

I litterally lolled when I saw that. NO! JUST NO!    See I'm saying that while laughing which just makes this even more funny...Maybe I'm just tired...Anywho, my thoughts:

#1: YES!!!! PERFECT!!! I'VE BEEN VOTING FOR HIM SINCE THE BEGINNING!

#2: No! He's in The Host! You can't just take characters from one fandom and stick 'em in another unless they've played a small role! He is the lead in The Host, Four is a lead, you just can't do it!

#3: I love Joey! I watch his vlogs all the time! And he actually has the right look (sorta) but his voice and attitude...Um...Nvm.

#5 (yes I skipped 4 because idk that actor. Ignore my pun) I love him! He's Cato! And it would be weird to see him as Four because THG. I know Cato isn't exactly a lead, but still. Actually, throughout the entire books, I pictured him as peter    Probably shouldn't have done that because there is no way he's gonna be peter.

#13: He's as cute and sweet as a button. I adore him!.....Because of that, HE CAN NOT BE FOUR!!

#14: for (no pun intended) cryin' out loud! He's Peeta! No! Just no! I loooooove Peeta and that is why he is staying Peeta! He will not be both!

Everyone else: Ah forget it...

[removed] that sucks.  

AND NOW WE'RE ALL [removed] WAITING FOR ALLEGIANT.

Just because it's not censored in a certain doesn't mean you can say it on here.

Dude, kids won't be able to figure out what she means by that because the way she spelt it is so subtle that unless you see/hear that word a lot, you won't be able to catch onto it. It even took me a second to get it so a little kid won't be able to get it at all (probably) and what kid is gonna be on at this hour anyway? And why would they be looking at a Divergent forum? Divergent is certainly not something they'd be reading...

1. The way she spelt is a common phonetic representation of it - just pronouncing it says the word.

2. The post will not disappear after "this hour", and besides, a kid from anywhere in the world could be on.

3. I look at pretty much every thread on the RaP and MaC, so I can imagine a little kid would too.

This is an all ages site, which means you must act appropriately for that everywhere on it.

Well, uh, me. I don't know if I count as a little kid though; I'm 11. Also I don't care about a few hidden swears in the forums.

I care.

Scratch is an all-ages site and everything on the forums is very public.  Please don't use rude or offensive language.  Changing the spelling doesn't change what people hear when they read - so please lighten up a bit

I already read it. I'm on the second book.

0.o ......okay........

All I see in this weird parental review is that they mention your "romance", so it's something I can see a 11 year old reading.

Veronica just made another post, which to me was extremely interesting. I love hearing about this sort of thing so I was incredibly greatful for what she shared, as well as dissapointed because she cut it short. Well, here it is: (and Skyfur we were just talking about Uriah, the bottom basically answers our questions lol)

:Full disclosure: as our car approached the set, I turned to my husband and said, "I feel like I'm going to throw up." I mean, I spend most of my time in front of a screen. Set visits to the movie adaptation of the words I scrawled over winter break three years ago were never something I was anticipating. On the way there, I felt totally unprepared for what was coming, and that meant a little bit of nausea.


Spoiler alert: I didn't throw up. Instead, I calmed down, which is better.


Here's the deal: I want your first experience with this stuff, in all its detail, to be as amazing as mine was, so I'm not going to try to capture it all for you here. I'm just going to tell you, generally, what I did and how I reacted to everything. Okay? Okay.


When I first got there, they were setting up to shoot the knife-throwing scene. (What a great day to go, right?) I spent a few seconds marveling at everything, then went back to "video village" (which is where director/producer/etc. types watch the filming on screens in real time, with headphones).


There, I abruptly got all misty-eyed, because THEY MADE ME A CHAIR. You know, one of those director's chairs, with my name on it. It's weird what kinds of things hit you the hardest in these situations. For me it's usually the little things.


Shortly after that I met the Garrett, Master of Stunts and Fights (that's not his official title, but it's what I now call him in my mind), who told me about developing a particular fighting style for the movie and taught me the Dauntless stance. I even punched a punching bag. And nearly hurt my hand, because I am a marshmallow. (Garrett is not.)


I also got to see the Pit, a train car, and an Abnegation house, about which I can only say: !!! One of the best parts of the day was that I got to meet all the craftsmen who are working on the sets after seeing their impeccable work. I was so impressed with how much effort and thought went into everything I saw, so it was really fantastic to meet the people who were making it happen.


Then the fashion geek (is that a thing? I suspect it is not) inside me freaked out, because COSTUMES. I've been curious to see what they would do with costumes, because creating outfits that are entirely one or two colors is not an easy task, sorry guys. But...[censor]. Did they do it. I may or may not be planning an elaborate heist in which I sneak into the area after dark and steal some clothes. (Note: that is a joke. *hides heist plans in a drawer*)


After that we returned to the knife-throwing set and I watched the scene...over and over again, because, you know, that's how shooting movies works! Strangely this did not get boring for me (even though I've written that scene from two different POVs and I've probably read it over 100 times), which is a credit to everyone involved with it. I can't say much without spoiling things, but I will say that the scene is very true to the book.


I know you're probably mostly interested in the cast, because that's who you'll actually see on the screen. Let me first say that everyone was so nice, despite the fact that, for the first half of the day, I was too stunned to form coherent sentences. The people I talked to: Shailene Woodley (Tris), Theo James (Four), Jai Courtney (Eric), Christian Madsen (Al), Miles Teller (Peter), Ben Lamb (Edward), Ben Lloyd Hughes (Will), Zoe Kravitz (Christina), Amy Newbold (Molly). Basically, the whole Dauntless gang.


And they were all awesome. What can I tell you? They were all SO GOOD in that scene. Every time! Which is probably why I was able to watch it so many times! Without getting tired of it! Exclamation points!


I feel like the gushing is becoming extreme, so I'm going to cut myself off. Basically, I came away with one thought at the end of the day, which is that this adaptation is incredibly thoughtful, from things like fabric and building materials and light fixtures to directing and casting and acting and script.


I want to say I can't wait until it's in theaters, but I can-- I want to take in as much of this process as I can, because it's amazing and I'm so fortunate to be able to watch it happen.


Now, to address something else-- the issue of Uriah. Some of you may have heard, and some may not, that Uriah won't be cast until the second movie, if we are fortunate enough to make another one. It is understandably disappointing when a favorite character doesn't make it on screen. However, what I do think is encouraging is that the people working on the movie are taking the role of Uriah so seriously and taking so much care to get him right.


And even though the particulars will be a little bit different, we still get the zipline scene, guys! Which I, for one, am really excited to see.
