"Our biggest decision was who was going to be Tris Prior? We knew we needed somebody Dauntless and tough as well as Abnegation. We were hoping Shailene could do both. And we said, 'What are you doing this weekend?' And she said, ‘I am going to be kidnapped — an urban kidnapping where I will be taken hostage and I will be chased for the whole weekend and I have to figure out how to escape and not get hurt.’ She said, 'That's what I do for pleasure.' We thought, This girl is very Dauntless! And we said she has to carry a gun and we knew she was kind of a hippie and we thought she might bridle at that but she said, 'I like to shoot my own food.'" —Lucy Fisher, producer

"The idea was to reveal Tris by opening the mirror. Mirrors and reflections play a big role in the movie. The movie's about identity: Who am I? Where do I belong? There are lots of shots of Tris glimpsing herself in various reflective surfaces — water, a spoon — which were ways to visualize the idea of those themes." —Neil Burger, director

"In auditions for Four, Shailene kept blowing people off the stage in the screen tests and finally Theo James came in and we were running into a time crunch and we were terrified that we would have to go with a compromised candidate. But he came in and was just amazing — mysterious, manly, and really strong with her. There was instant chemistry." —Doug Wick, producer


"Theo was in a television show and we didn't know if it was going to be a success or not. We were rooting for it to fail because were it to be a success we would have trouble scheduling him. So it was a happy day for us when his schedule cleared up and he could become Four." —Fisher
