12 Truly Heartbreaking Facts About Film In 2016
10. Divergent Died At The Box Office...But A TV Show Is On The Way
After the Divergent saga's latest entry, Allegiant, bombed at the box office back in March, it was subsequently revealed that Lionsgate had changed plans for the final movie, Ascendant, by transforming it into a lower-budget TV movie...without letting any of the cast know first.
The likes of Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort and Theo James were surprised to hear the news the same way we did, and most of the cast expressed little desire to appear in a lesser version of the original intended vision.
As it stands today, it's looking incredibly unlikely that Ascendant will ever come out, though Lionsgate will presumably still press on with their planned TV series spin-off, ensuring this wretched franchise will probably die an even more prolonged and excruciating demise.
