Allegiant Trailer: So Much More of Tris and Four

The first trailer for the next installment of the Divergent series has arrived. And, SPOILER ALERT, it features both Shailene Woodley and Theo James acting as pretty awesomely hardcore badasses. As fans of the book on which it is based know very well, the upcoming sequel finds Woodley's Trist and James' Four leaving Chicago – the only city they have ever called home – in order to and venture into a world far more dangerous than anything they've come across before.   And that's saying a lot, for those who saw Divergent. Due to incomparable technology “centuries ahead” of their time, a war has broken out, forcing this tandem to figure out their surroundings… the folks around them who can and cannot be trusted… and whether or not they have the capability to go into battle to save the future of humanity. So, you know, very little is at stake. No pressure or anything here. Ansel Elgort, Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Jeff Daniels, Zoë Kravitz and Miles Teller will also play roles in Allegiant, but Woodley and James take center stage in this trailer. But via action sequences and a few more tender moments between Tris and Four. This franchise was originally comprised of two final films titled Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 1 and The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 2. However, as of this fall, the concluding pair of moves will be named The Divergent Series: Allegiant and The Divergent Series: Ascendant. Both will still be based on Allegiant, the final novel in Veronica Roth's best-selling Divergent. Check out fresh new footage now and prepare for the sequel to be released on March 18, 2016.

Racist And Sexist Or Nah? “Scary Bi***” Ads For New Octavia Spencer Show “Red Band Society” Yanked From City Buses After Public Outcry

Oooh they so sensitive ! Fox TV Show Ads Removed From Buses Over Complaints Of Racism And Sexism A number of ads featuring Octavia Spencer’s face next to the words “Scary B***h” had to be removed from L.A. buses this week after complaints they were racist AND sexist. Via Los Angeles Times reports : An advertisement for the new Fox television show “Red Band Society” was abruptly pulled from Los Angeles Metro buses Thursday after activists complained it was racist and offensive. The ads for the series that premiered this week show actress Octavia Spencer next to the words “Scary Bi**h.” Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Mark Littman said the agency decided to remove the ad because that label “denigrates women.” “That speaks for itself,” Littman said. “That was not acceptable.” The ads, which have been up for five weeks, will be removed from 190 Metro buses as soon as possible, said Metro spokesman Dave Sotero. The announcement was made Thursday at a Metro committee meeting where a few dozen protesters showed up to speak against the ads. Among them was Jasmyne Cannick, who said the nickname perpetuates negative stereotypes about black women. “I don’t know if I find it more offensive because I’m black, or more offensive because I’m a woman,” said Cannick, 36. “I sometimes think our city forgets that there are black people that still live here and call Los Angeles home.” A Fox spokeswoman said in a statement that network executives were notified Thursday morning of the concerns around the ads and “immediately offered to remove the language.” “Metro Los Angeles ultimately decided to take down the ads, and we respect that decision,” the spokeswoman said. “We sincerely apologize if the copy was offensive to viewers.” Do you think it was a legit complaint or are people overreacting?
