Dauntless Event in Austin Texas

Texans will NOT want to miss this (I wish I could go down to participate!!!)

There will be an amazing Dauntless-themed event with zip-lining, combat training & knife throwing on March 13. Tickets for the event will be on sale on March 4.

We'll teach you all of the important Dauntless skills, from zip-lining to knife throwing to combat, and we'll even host a game of Capture the Flag. Your ticket to this event also includes a seat at the opening night screening of DIVERGENT at the Alamo Drafthouse on Slaughter Lane so you can celebrate your new badass status with Tris, Four and the rest of Dauntless' fiercest warriors.

It doesn't take an Erudite to figure out that this will be the best day ever, so make sure you choose Dauntless! Tickets for this event go on sale here on March 4th.

(And don't worry, we'll let you bypass the fear landscape. Tattoos, however, are always encouraged.)

Miles Teller can do it all

I am so impressed with the volume and diversity of roles in which Miles Teller has been offered and performed recently. 

Watch this video: Interview with Miles Teller and the Cast of 'Whiplash'

Right now it's really good to be Miles Teller. He's been dubbed the next big thing at two consecutive Sundance Film Festivals, starting with last year's powerful teen romance,The Spectacular Now, for which he and Shailene Woodley shared dramatic acting awards. This year he came back swinging in Whiplash, playing a jazz drumming protege at the mercy of his ruthless instructor, played by J.K. Simmons. And since then, things have only gotten better with major roles in Fantastic Four and the boxing biopic,  Bleed for This.

Let's not forget Divergent in March. I have to say, he is a talker, he is a 'class clown' and jokster, but he also has some major acting chops! I can't see what else the future has in store for Miles!
