Theo James Is Cast As Tobias ‘Four’ Eaton In Veronica Roth's "Divergent"

Great news for Theo he has been cast to play Tobias ‘Four’ Eaton in Veronica Roth's "Divergent"
Read all about it below!




From Entertainment Weekly:

Finally! Divergent has found its male lead! Theo James has been cast as Tobias ‘Four’ Eaton in Neil Burger’s (Limitless) big screen adaptation of Veronica Roth’s bestselling novel.

There’s been an awful lot of speculation as to who would play the mysterious Dauntless instructor opposite Shailene Woodley, who plays fierce heroine Beatrice Prior, when production gets going later this spring.

You might recognize James from CBS’s Golden Boy or from season 1 of Downton Abbey (he played the handsome man who died in Lady Mary’s bed.) “As a fan of Divergent, I am thrilled to have been chosen for the role of Four and to be a part of such a phenomenal story,” James tells EW in an exclusive statement. “As an actor, I am excited to explore and play this incredibly complex and mysterious character. Director Neil Berger is a remarkably visionary filmmaker. Along with the incredibly talented Shailene Woodley, we are looking forward to the fantastic adventure of bringing this beloved book to life on the big screen for all the fans.”

“Theo is not only an incredibly talented actor, he is also who we envisioned as Four when reading Veronica’s novel which has taken the world by storm,” says Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger, co-chairmen of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group in a joint statement. “As we continue to develop the film, the studio remains committed to providing fans with a movie adaptation that stays as true to the book as possible and we are confident that we have done so with our selection of Shailene and Theo in the leading roles.

Why such a long wait? Eric Feig, Lionsgate president of production says in a statement: “We took our time to find the right actor to fill the role of Four, and Theo is definitely the perfect fit. Veronica has crafted a truly iconic character in Four and we cannot wait to begin production and bring him and this story to life for millions of fans around the world.”

This nicely rounds out the cast which includes Kate Winslet, Die Hard‘s Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz and Maggie Q.

From The LA Times:

Neil Burger ("Limitless") is set to direct the feature with production scheduled to begin in Chicago in April. Vanessa Taylor ("Game of Thrones") wrote the script based on an original draft by Evan Daugherty ("Snow White and the Huntsman").

“I couldn't be happier that Theo James will be playing the role of Four," said Burger in a statement. "It's rare that you find someone who can do it all: he's tough and charismatic; a fighter and a lover. And he and Shailene Woodley (who plays Tris) have a remarkable chemistry — sparks truly fly between them.”

The search for the male lead has been going on since late last year, with many young actors testing for the role. Though Summit had been initially looking for a younger actor to fill the role, it seems the studio decided to expand the age range of the search.

“We took our time to find the right actor to fill the role of Four, and Theo is definitely the perfect fit,” said Erik Feig, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group’s president of production. “Veronica has crafted a truly iconic character in Four, and we cannot wait to begin production and bring him and this story to life for millions of fans around the world.”

Summit Entertainment, a division of Lionsgate, will release the film on March 21, 2014. Read More HERE

From Hypable

Author Veronica Roth chimed in on today’s news as well: “Recently I saw Theo James’ screen test with Shailene Woodley, and I was sure within seconds: this was ‘Four,’ no question. Theo is able to capture ‘Four’s’ authority and strength, as well as his depth and sensitivity. He is a perfect match for Shailene’s incredibly strong presence as Tris. I’m thrilled!”
