Kate-Winslet

We told you last week that Kate Winslet would be portraying Jeanine in Divergent, but it wasn’t official until yesterday.  Veronica Roth took to her blog to reveal her feelings on this casting choice:

Okay, so you may have seen/heard rumors of this already, so it’s not exactly new news, but it is Officially Official, which means that I can tell you my thoughts.

KATE WINSLET has been cast as Jeanine Matthews!

What can I say? When I found out, I was floored. I grew up watching Kate Winslet in movies, whether it was Titanic or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Reader, and she is an incredible actress, and I am sure that she will be extraordinary as Jeanine. I’m excited to see the complexity and depth she’ll bring to the role.

That was me containing my fangirling.
