Shailene Woodley has really impressed the filmmakers with her acting prowess and range as a performer. "The Fault in Our Stars" actress was the first choice for the teen movie, "Divergent," as opposed to established teen actresses, Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart.

Woodely plays the role of Tris. According to filmmakers, the role was quite demanding and no one could have done it better than Woodley. As opposed to her cancer victim role in "The Fault in Our Stars," she will be seen in a warrior mode.

"Tris, the character played by Woodley starts out questioning where she fits into society, and then by the end of the movie, she's questioning society itself," Director Neil Burger told LATimes.cm

Complying with Bruger, LA times noted, "It was a demanding role, and in casting, filmmakers sought someone who could hold her own in the company of more experienced cast members, including Kate Winslet and Ashley Judd, and embody the brave and at times reckless warrior as well as the ordinary, vulnerable girl. They found their heroine in Woodley, 22."

Woodley is a rising teen star and proven herself time and again on television with the complex role she played in "The Secret Life of the American Teenager " and "The Descendants."

Divergent Producer Douglas Wick told LAtimes.com, "This is a sort of dream city. It is a city that saved the world from great chaos. It is a city that has great harmony and the factions worked - but that system is starting to fray, which is our story."

The film is produced by Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment, the studio which greenlights box office hits like "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games."

The film will be releasing on March 21. What do you think about Woodely playing the role of Tris?
