okay so over the past few months i have lost all sense of motivation from this story for a couple of reasons, please don't ignore this and please read what i have to say til the end.
i don't wanna get too deep about this but school and work have made it extremely hard to continue this story and this is the only time i have found to even write this note.
anyways, whats important is this..
due to a budget cutback from not making enough box office sales on allegiant, lionsgate don't have a huge amount of money to make ascendant which is due to come out next year june 9th 2017. because of their tight budget, they recently decided that they would no longer display the movie in cinemas but rather on TV. this sent people crazy and people were like wtf? but anyways it calmed down after a while and tbh after a while i thought as long as they make the movie then i'm fine with anything.
seems like this wasnt gonna be a happy ending...
a few days later after the news broke out to the stars, shailene woodley was on an interview when she was asked how she felt about the TV spin off and she said..
"out of respect to the whole scenario, there could be things that are changed, but i didn't sign up to do a TV show"
shailene made her choice not to play as tris anymore because she didn't sign up to do a TV show. if that wasn't enough, theo james said that he approves of her decision and has decided not to play in the series either.
so today i listened to the allegiant soundtrack of all the song they had in the movie, and i'm talking about the instrumental songs too. they literally upset me so much i broke down into tears because the whole realisation just hit me. so i thought i've had enough.
i couldn't just sit there and do nothing. i went online and searched up ways to contact lionsgate, shailene, theo but nothing was helping. then i came across a site..
this site was holding a petition to get lionsgate to produce the final movie and give it the proper finale it deserves to have.
people and fans from far and wide were signing up to this petition and it just dawned on me of how much one person can do. in order to get the petition to lionsgate they needed at least 5000 signatures and they had already gotten thousands of peoples signatures, to 3600+ votes.
something inside me clicked and i realised that just my signature can take them one enormous step closer to lionsgate, so i did.
i signed my name, i wrote that divergent was just a part of me now. in school i told myself to be brave like the dauntless and take a challenge. this pushed me to be the first one in my class to deliver my presentation. i told myself to be more amity and it let me to my amazing friends and lunches spent laughing till our stomachs hurt. i told myself to be more candor and embrace honesty. i became more erudite and took pride in my work, and with all of those in mind i became more abnegation, helping out everybody and leading me to become a mentor to the lower years, encouraging them that they can achieve their goals no matter what and inspiring people to carry on no matter what.
I told them that divergent had turned me into a whole new person, one that led me to achieving more and more of my goals. i told that that because of this it deserves to have the best finale of them all and should not be ruined because of money.
i was one of 3,527 people to sign that petition
and my vote helped them get one step closer to making ascendant a movie.
that number of people posted above each donated £3 of their own savings to save the film.
thats a total of £/$10,578
and i couldn't believe it.
so i'm not asking for you to donate.
i'm not asking you to sign every single petition there is on the world wide web,
but i'm asking you to take the time and put your vote forward and make your mark.
i simply don't have the money to donate because im just a child, but i would donate over £1000 if i could.
all you people who are able to donate then please do. all the money goes to lionsgate towards making this final installment in the series.
instead of buying yourselves mugs, tshirts and other divergent merchandise that will only bring in money to the companies, spend that money on actually helping to bring this movie to life and not just a reality tv show.
i'm talking about passionate people like you trissering, redlady, mosuzmartian, Aasiya D, lelebird 7, and all of you guys who have been following this story and have a passion for the series.
please put your vote forward people, IT MATTERS!
SOME PETITIONS ONLY NEED AS LITTLE AS 37 PEOPLE TO COMPLETE THEIR PETITIONS BEFORE IT CAN BE SENT TO LIONSGATE
please make your mark for the sake of this life changing series, I IMPLORE YOU
only together can we save the give the series its proper take off!
lots of love coming in everyones way,
