Surprise, surprise: Divergent is headed to the big screen.

From Deadline:

Divergent, written by Veronica Roth, tops the Children’s Paperback books list this week. Lionsgate-Summit’s feature adaptation of the dystopian teen tale, with screenplay by Evan Daugherty, is in pre-production now with plans to start filming later this year.

Daugherty wrote the screenplay for Snow White and the Huntsman. (I still haven't seen it, though, so I dunno if that's a plus or a minus.) Anyway, here's hoping the movie's as much of an Action-Packed Thrill Ride as the book!
