Ashley Judd is in negotiations to join the cast of Divergent, Deadline has learned. The 2014 sci-fi pic from Summit stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James in the YA adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best seller, set in a world in which young adults are divided into factions based on their personalities.
Here’s another (and probably the last) big piece of the Divergent casting puzzle: EW has learned exclusively that Tony Goldwyn has joined the Divergent team playing the role of Andrew Prior, father to heroine Beatrice Prior, portrayed by Shailene Woodley.
The Scandal actor (who plays President Fitzgerald Grant on the ABC show), 52, joins Ashley Judd—who recently was cast as onscreen wife, Natalie Prior — Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney, Theo James, Zoë Kravitz, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer, and Ansel Elgort.
Production started just this week in Chicago with Neil Burger (Limitless) directing from a script by Vanessa Taylor (Game of Thrones) adapted from the best-selling Veronica Roth dystopian YA series.
Divergent is scheduled to open March 21, 2014.
