![]() ![]() Making matters worse, the Divergent series’ box office profits took a steady slide over its run. By filming two movies at one time, you reduce the amount of time it takes to start up separate shoots (gathering the casts, production teams, locations, etc.). It was a way of streamlining the productions and, more importantly, saving money. The big wigs who own Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games split each of the final books in those series in half, then shot both parts back-to-back in one supersized production. How did we get here? What happened to ‘The Divergent Series: Ascendant’ aka ‘Allegiant, Part 2’įor studios, squeezing two films out of a single book is a no-brainer - so long as it’s done correctly. But after The Divergent Series: Allegiant (aka Allegiant, Part 1) tanked at the box office, the studio canceled the finale. It was later pushed to June 2017 to accommodate Power Rangers. ![]() ![]() The movie, “based on” the second half of Allegiant, was titled The Divergent Series: Ascendant and was originally slated to be released March 24, 2017. “Of course!” fandom sighed, recalling the splits of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. In April 2014, Summit announced that the final book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent series would be split into two films. ![]()

Add whole blanched almonds and saute until they’re golden brown with a few little burned parts. Here are the recipes of Nora Ephron’s Heartburn. I scoured the Internet, but couldn’t find all of them recorded in any one place together. They seem simple but comforting, like something you’d find on a notecard handed down through your family. This book is headed back to the library, but I wanted to keep the recipes for future use. Food underscores so many of the book’s emotional moments–punctuating emotions one second and obscuring them the next–just like it does in real life. In keeping with that theme, a dozen or so recipes are interwoven into the book’s plot. The main character is a cookbook writer known for interspersing personal stories with her recipes. This book is a funny, moving story of heartbreak from one of the most distinctive voices of the last 40 years–but did you know that it’s also a cookbook? You can read my short review of it on Goodreads. ![]() I just finished reading Nora Ephron’s Heartburn. ![]() |
