Divergent Filming Locations
|
Divergent FilmingThe Divergent filming is taking place at many locations throughout the city of Chicago, IL. In this article, you will see photos taken by fans of Veronica Roth's series that were taken during the movie filming process. I will also let you know exactly where the filming is taking place and how to know that the movie being filmed is actually Divergent.
If you are able to get to the Chicago area by July of 2013, you should go check these places out and see if you can find any new filming locations. Near the bottom of the screen you will find a Google map that has all of the filming locations pinned to it for reference. |
How to Find Divergent Shooting Locations in ChicagoWe have a list of known shooting locations for the Divergent movie below, but if you are out and about in Chicago and want to find clues for new shooting locations, you will need to know the "secret" names that the movie is using to mark their locations.
Who to Follow on Twitter for Filming Location UpdatesThere are several places online to find more about shooting locations, but I've found that Twitter is the best place for live updates. I've listed a few of my favorite people to follow on Twitter for updates below, I definitely recommend following them:

- @Dauntless46: Dauntless46 lives near Chicago and takes amazing pictures of the filming locations and provides wonderful descriptions of what is going on!
- @someclichename: SomeClicheName has been regularly going to check on each location that is provided so she can give us the scoop on what's happening!
- @OLV: OLV stands for On Location Vacations and they post updates on where Divergent and many other TV shows and movies across the country are playing.
Cinescape- Where Divergent is Being ProducedCinescape is located in Chicago, IL and is where Divergent production will take place. Cinescape Chicago Film Studios helps filmmakers by providing them with places to build their sets (including paint and carpentry shops), equipment rental and prop storage.
There are also many amenities for the actors such as casting, wardrobe and dressing room spaces as well as on-site dining areas, event planner and caterer. There is plenty of parking space for the cast, crew and their film units and storage trailers. There are stages in different sizes available for filming that are soundproof so we are assuming that quite a bit of Divergent filming will take place here. |

W Pershing Rd Between Honore St and Hermitage AveThere are two blocks along W Pershing Rd between Honore St and Hermitage Ave that are going to be used for Divergent filming in some way.
This was checked out by Dauntless46 and she saw signs indicating filming to come as well as wiring going to the building pictured at right. She also saw that filming was taking place on April 15! |

1200 18th St
According to OLV, Divergent may also be filming at "1200 18th St in Chicago." Our guess is that it will be 1200 East 18th St.
