This morning sees two new images, one from an already successful fran...

Shailene Woodley Plays With Knives In First Look At YA Hopeful 'Divergent'
"Twilight" is done, "The Hunger Games" is already a phenomenon and Hollywood is eager to wring more dollars out of tween wallets, but those plans haven't quite worked out. "Beautiful Creatures" and "The Host" both fizzled and no one is really expecting "Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones" to be a blo...

Young Adult Novel Adaptation 'Divergent' Adds Rising Stars Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Ben Lamb & Christian Madsen
If we were betting men, and asked to put money on what could be the latest young adult novel series to follow "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" into becoming a cinematic phenomenon, we'd feel relatively safe putting our money on "Divergent."

Who? Theo James Takes Male Lead In 'Divergent,' Aaron Eckhart, Miles Teller & Ray Stevenson Circling
While Jeremy Irvine, Lucas Till and Alex Pettyfer were testing for the coveted (?) male lead in "Divergent," and certainly have more name recognition than the eventual winner, it seems their talents didn't quite match what the filmmakers were looking for.

Kate Winslet Joins Young Adult Adaptation 'Divergent' Alongside Shailene Woodley
While she did star in the then-biggest movie of all time, in "Titanic," Kate Winslet has, before and since, stayed away from franchise territory. The closest she's ever come to a tentpole was probably Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion," or maybe the Aardman animation "Flushed Away," but in general, she...

Discuss: Which Hopeful Young Adult Franchise Could Fill The Hole Left By 'Twilight'?
Farewell, "Twilight." After four years, and five movies, there are (until the inevitable reboot/spin-off/extra sequel) no longer any movies in the super-popular Stephenie Meyer-penned vampire franchise to look forward to/dread.

With "Twilight" wrapping up its final installment this week, there's clearly a certain amount of jostling to be the next big young adult franchise going on.
