10 Movies Based On Books That Should've NEVER Been Made

10. Divergent

In 2011, Veronica Roth's Divergent book series was a popular hit with the young adult audience. It followed the story of a city that had been divided in to factions after the war in which Tris Prior fails to fit in - a typical dystopian female hero storyline, not too dissimilar to Katniss Everdeen's that was gaining fame by the second.

3 years later the first film of the franchise was released, with an A-list cast including Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort and Miles Teller. After receiving a relatively good box office revenue, audiences were promised 3 more movies.

But then came the second and third films.

The narratives of Allegiant and Insurgent changed major plot points for the big screen, causing outrage from fans who were not best pleased. The trailers revealed large plot points and overall, both did not receive as high of a praise.

The penultimate installment Allegiant (renamed from Allegiant: Part 1) finished with a cliff-hanger for the next film, later announced as Ascendant. Soon after the backlash, this was proposed as a TV show instead. However the cast backed out of the new deal, leaving no option but to close the unfinished chapter forever.
