    Definitely looking to cast Amity (“people with a “rural” farm hand look”) and Dauntless faction members (“People with military, weapons or martial arts training”, and “People with visible tattoos and/or piercings”), and maybe people for the big battle sequence?

    The cast is definitely starting to shape up, with Shailene and now Kate Winslet joining the cast. Hopefully we know who plays Four very soon.

    i think the “rural” look will be for Abnegation, while the “hippie” look will be for Amity, and obviously the tattooed and combat-trained people will be Dauntless.

    was anyone here able to attend the open call? what was it like? also, good luck!
