Shailene Woodley and Theo James Still Dating in ‘Insurgent’; Ansel Elgort Joins Factionless [TRAILER NEWS]

From the looks of the new trailer from Lionsgate, Divergent sequel, Insurgent, is action packed and ready to give Fast and Furious 7 a run for its money in the spring of 2015. In the latest movie preview, Shailene reprises her role as a short-haired Tris -- shooting, smashing and bashing everything in sight in her resistance against an evil Kate Winselt. Well, Shai that is destroying any and everything, except the for ones she loves, like her Divergent boyfriend, Theo James. In the new clip they are still dating as well as making out with their shirts off. The Instagram model's Fault in Our Stars lover, Ansel Elgort, has also returned as her brother, Caleb, for the Veronica Roth follow-up. In this second trailer for the franchise's latest, Ansolo is seen having to be protected time and again by his sister, but seems to get to sit in the big meeting with Naomi Watts, who as believed to have been killed at the end of the last film, anyways.

If you thought the little bit of running an jumping from a physics defying burning building to save her helpless mother and swing to safety just in the nick of time was something, just wait until to you check out Shailene Woodley's brand new Insurgent trailer.

As the Daily Mail points out the struggle between Kate Winslet's Jeanine and Beatrice seems to be taking center stage, as the Titanic star pits Tris against a clone of her own self in order to open some mysterious box, but that isn't near as exciting of the glimpse of Woodley bitchin bare back piercing.

What's more, besides all the extra action, both leads honestly believe that this is a more compelling story than its predecessor, though mostly because they strayed from Veronica Roth's source material.

During a joint interview with Buzzfeed last spring, Shailene claimed that this movie was richer because it added and threw out things much more liberally than was done with Divergent:

"The dialogue had a certain rhythm to it so there wasn't a lot of room for changing it up.

"In this movie, we're adding a lot of smaller beats to the scenes that aren't necessarily on the page...that artistic license is very nice."

Theo added in support that it was because they had stayed so true to things their first time out that they were free to get away with so much more in Insurgent:

"You have to honor the material for the first film because you have a fanbase, but when you come to the second one, if you you've done well with the first movie, you now have the ability to think outside the box.

"And I think as long as you have good character progression -- which is essentially Four and Tris, the anchors of the films -- if you have that stuff right, then if you lose some kind of threads of different plotlines, it shouldn't matter."

Somewhere some diehard little tween's head just exploded.
