Summit Entertainment continues its prolific book rights buying as it nears a deal for the Veronica Roth novel
Divergent, with Red Wagon partners Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher attached to produce. The book is compared to
The Hunger Games because of the age of the characters and the violence that takes place in a futuristic setting. This tale takes place in a futuristic dystopia where society is divided into factions based on human traits. A 16-year old leaves her faction to join a rival faction, but during the violent initiation into the new faction, she falls in love with a young man. They realize each is a "Divergent" who doesn't belong to any specific group. The book will be published by Katherine Tegen Books, a division of HarperCollins Children's Books. More to come on this one.
