"Any actor will tell you that holiday weekends are nonexistent, especially when you're two months into shooting a movie. So when I got an invite to visit the set of Divergent, I didn't think twice about un-RSVPing to my friend's Memorial Day BBQ and kissing the sweltering NYC heat goodbye for a trip to the Windy City.\n\n Divergent, based on the best-selling young-adult novel by Veronica Roth, is set in dystopian Chicago and stars Shailene Woodley, 21, as its sixteen-year-old heroine, Beatrice \"Tris\" Prior.\n\n \"I was attracted to Tris because she's a normal adolescent,\" Shailene tells me once I'm on set. We're sitting in Pioneer Court between takes, and Shai, as she likes to be called, is sipping a green juice. \"She's not a superhero. She's a normal girl thrown into really extreme situations.\" Shai says she endured combat training, as well as firearm training with the LAPD, for the role.\n\n \"I'm in every scene,\" she says of her schedule. \"They average 14-hour days.\" Today she's shooting a vital scene with 426 extras\u2014no pressure! \"When we wrap, I unwind: go home, light candles, take a bath, do yoga,\" she says. But here in the moment, she's ready for the next take and jumps up to join Ansel Elgort, nineteen [see him in our Young Hollywood portfolio, who plays her brother, Caleb Prior.\n\n The cast stays in an apartment complex not far from this particular location, and Shai tells me, \"It feels like a giant frat house.\" Ansel chimes in: \"You make close friends on movies. It's like summer camp.\"\n\n Before I know it, they're shooting a school scene (which is actually outside a bank) where Peter, played by 26-year-old Miles Teller, bullies a group of kids, and Caleb has to restrain Tris from confronting him. It takes hours of filming, and I'm rapt in the producer's tent, going back and forth between watching them in real life and on the monitor.\n\n \"Cut!\" someone yells into a megaphone. Miles grabs a bottle of water and walks inside the tent. \"You were pretty mean out there,\" I say. He nods. \"Peter does some evil stuff\u2014 he tries to kill Tris!\" he says. \"But I'm gonna make him likable!\"\n\n Working on this movie is clearly a labor of love for the cast, who all have an undeniable connection to one another. Shai comes over. \"Miles and I have become like brother and sister,\" she says. \"We argue and annoy each other, but there's a real-deal love at the bottom of it all.\" I can't wait to see that translate on-screen."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
