DIVERGENT Series ASCENDANT To Be Developed And Released On STARZ

Ascendant, the next entry in the Divergent series, has reportedly found a home on Starz. ComingSoon reports that the network has picked up the project and is currently developing it to appear on their network. While actors like Theo James and Ansel Elgort were attached to the project when it was initially pitched for MTV, it was rumored that Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller had not been locked down for the project. 

Perhaps now that the service is on STARZ the bigger names will be more willing to get attached, but honestly, without any details, it's hard to say whether or not the plan is the same for the STARZ project as it was with MTV. I seem to remember the MTV plan involved the cast from the film appearing in the beginning and then handing things off to a new set of actors to continue on the show. 

I know people will give me crap for this but I've actually enjoyed the Divergent films so I hope this spin off project actually goes through. Where do you fall on the matter?
