No matter how much we cherished the Divergent motion pictures, we've got to face the details. They tanked. In truth, they tanked so badly that they couldn't even finish the sequence out.
Shailene Woodley quit acting for a time after the series of films, but that was due to sickness. After that, she used to be cast in HBO's Big Little Lies with her Divergent co-star Zoë Kravitz, and now they have got both long gone on to do larger and better things. The women of Divergent seem to have become the most successful in truth.
The similar can't be stated for the lads. While Miles Teller did have some good fortune, the heartthrob of Divergent, Theo James, went nearly radio silent. After enjoying Four, what took place to him? Where did he pass? Out of the mainstream it appears.
He Starred In A Couple Of Successes And A Couple Of Flops
James used to be quite unknown by the time he starred as Four in Divergent in 2014, but after the movie was once released he used to be catapulted into popularity, whether he appreciated it or now not.
The first two Divergent movies made about $300 million each, however the third and ultimate movie, Allegiant, simplest made $one hundred eighty million. James already had mixed emotions about fame by the point the sequence ended but the failure of them most probably added to his dislike of big franchise films.
Despite this, he used to be a super Four. Other than his every so often wonky American accessory (he's British), James carried out in point of fact well in the movies. He had the ability, the physique, and of course, the looks, that made fans fall in love with him.
James even has his very personal fan club. There's a website called The Theologians, the place fanatics keep other fans up to date concerning the goings-on of James.
But after Allegiant, if you were not already clued up by the Theologians, you could have puzzled where James went. He showed such promising ability in Divergent, you would half expect him to appear in any other successful franchise or extra predictably, a Marvel film.
James went within the different direction, alternatively, back to smaller films, displays, and theater. Right out of Allegiant, James joined Vanessa Redgrave, Rooney Mara, Eric Bana, and Aidan Turner in The Secret Scripture in 2016.
James played the villain, Father Gaunt, who has a hand in accusing a woman insane, main to her forty-year incarceration in an insane asylum.
That same yr, philanthropy was once just as vital to him as his acting profession. He went to Greece and France in 2016 and 2017 with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to communicate about the Syrian refugee crisis. The disaster used to be essential to him because his grandfather used to be a Greek refugee when the Nazis invaded Greece.
He managed to squeeze another film in throughout 2016 when he played David in the fifth Underworld film, Underworld: Blood Wars.
He did not make every other movie till 2018, which proved to be a hectic yr for him. He starred in Backstabbing for Beginners, the first movie where he starred and produced, the Amazon Prime movie, Zoe, Netflix's How It Ends, London Fields, and the musical audio adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.
He's Done With Blockbusters
James next starred in the crime drama Lying and Stealing, which he additionally produced. He will have to have liked generating the film together with Backstabbing for Beginners because he started his personal manufacturing company, Untapped, in the midst of the year.
He also voiced two episodes of the Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and one episode of the streaming service's The Witcher. As for the Henry Cavill-led sequence, many fans are speculating whether or not he may turn out to be part of the forged in season two.
James is a veteran voice actor. He's been voicing the character Hector on Netflix's Castlevania since 2018.
But extra not too long ago, James has returned to period drama in ITV and PBS' Sanditon, in keeping with Jane Austen's novel, which he also produced. He previously appeared on Masterpiece's Downton Abbey.
Along with enjoying in smaller motion pictures, and returning to PBS for a length drama, James additionally returned to the theater, the place he's most probably most at ease, having studied at the Old Vic in his early profession. He seemed in City of Angels at the West End this past March.
The musical can, in fact, explain James' experience with big-budget films, and why he is turn into bored stiff in them. It's a couple of creator attempting to flip his ebook right into a Hollywood script.
"[The musical] is all about the degradation of his original book to the lowest common denominator," he told the Evening Standard. "I’ve been personally aware of that, not only in friends’ work but in work I’ve done. There’s a push always to make something as broad as possible — they’re trying to make money, but the problem is the broader you make something, the less distilled the story... it becomes weak and a bit meaningless.
"I really like LA and feature a lot of buddies there [as well as a house]. As a youngster, whilst you first get offered big films you assume, ‘This is great,’ however the older and relatively wiser I'm, the more I know that isn’t one thing I’m specifically keen on."
His most recent film is Archive. He told The Hollywood Reporter, it's been his most rewarding project in a while, and enjoys how dynamic it is.
Among his resistance to do big franchises, he is also a very private person and does not have social media, so it can seem like he's fallen off the grid at times. We'll continue to see him in things though if he doesn't truly catch the producing bug. But even then we know he'll be giving us some four-star films.
