    I think she’ll either be Jeanine, Tori or Tris’s mother. I can see any of them happening! She certainly has the acting chops ^_^

    I bet she’ll play Jeanine. Playing the villain can be really fun. The role of being Tris’s mother I think is too small for an A-lister like her. And if I remember correctly, Tori’s last name was Wu. So she should be portrayed by an Asian actress. (I’d like Maggie Q for that, thank you! :) )

    I hope she’ll play Jeanine… But I’d be more than happy with her playing Tris’s mother too (:
