Zoe Kravitz Gets Real Why 'Divergent' Films Were Not Among Her Favorites

Zoe Kravitz Gets Real Why 'Divergent' Films Were Not Among Her FavoritesInstagram

The ‘Big Little Lies’ actress, who portrayed Christina in the film franchise, makes the confession during an appearance on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast.

AceShowbiz – Actress Zoe Kravitz isn’t a fan of her work in the “Divergent” film franchise because she had no idea where the story was supposed to go.

The 31-year-old starred alongside Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort in the movies, based on the dystopian book series of the same name by Veronica Roth, but Kravitz admits she didn’t enjoy the blockbuster filmmaking process.

“Those films, (with) all due respect, those weren’t my favourite films that I’ve made, and I think as we went on, the story really kinda got lost and nobody really knew what we were doing anymore, and that makes it really hard,” she confessed on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast (https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/zoe-kravitz).

“I’m happy to go wherever (in her acting), if I know what we’re making and why, but once you lose sight of that, it becomes really hard.”

Kravitz also attributes having to shoot so many scenes against a giant green screen while in the heat of the summer in Atlanta, Georgia for her dislike of the three releases, which began with 2014’s “Divergent”.

She added, “I think it depends what it is too, like, when you’re running away from something… and it’s a million degrees, and you can’t see anything (because) it’s all CG (computer-generated)…”

Although the releases performed well at the global box office, the first instalment, shot by Neil Burger, garnered mixed reviews from critics, while the follow-ups, 2015’s “Insurgent’ and 2016’s “Allegiant”, which were both directed by Robert Schwentke, were more negatively received. The reaction led to a planned fourth movie, inspired by the second half of the Allegiant novel, to be scrapped altogether.
