Divergent Movie to Film in Chicago Confirms The Chicago Sun Times

The Chicago Sun Times exclusively learned that the Divergent movie will film in Chicago! This is exciting news for Divergent fans. Having real Chicago landmarks from the books will really will add to the scenery of the movies. This also gives us locations to visit and find as production is set to begin sometime in March of 2013!

Gov. Pat Quinn’s Illinois Film Office — as well as the massive film studio Cinespace — worked hard to recruit the gig, which is expected to bring the state tons of cash and lure the same teen audience who ensured the monetary success of the “Twilight” film series and “The Hunger Games,” both of which are based on books.

“They’ve been busy for months wooing a new blockbuster to Illinois,” said the source. The movie is about a teenage girl who lives in a dystopian Chicago society divided into factions based on different virtues.

Filmmakers “fell in love” with various shooting locations around Chicago, according to the source.
