Yes, I got up on the west coast early to watch the YouTube premiere of the Divergent trailer with Neil Burger and some YouTube “celebrities” this morning. Read up on all the things you missed because you were either at work like an adult or still sleeping like a smart person!
5 Things I Learned About Divergent Director, Neil Burger
5. Neil Burger Is NOT A Morning Person
Someone give Neil a coffee and a bagel quick, he looks like he might have been at our Boozy Book Club last night and had one Pinot Noir too many. God love him though, he played ball with these 15 year old YouTubers.
4. Neil Burger – Divergent Dork of the Day Award
I had NO idea that’s how you pronounce Erudite and here Neil is sharing his Divergent knowledge with the world. Someone get this guy a guest writing role at Letters to Divergent (not a thing).
3. Neil Should Have Been a High School Counselor
Sharing his fears, chatting with these kids like they’re his pals, going around the group and sharing their fear landscapes, it’s like a crappy episode of Glee or a lame night at Summer Camp. Mr. Burger for class chaperone of the year!
2. Neil Could Have Been An Actor
He fake casted one of the YouTubers in his next movie and told them it’s about the right person and didn’t matter if they were on YouTube and not an actor. He also acted nonchalant when one of the YouTubers reveled her tattoo was a unicorn on her LOWER BACK. You could just read “Tramp Stamp” on his face. Gotta hand it to Neil though, he kept his poker face.
1. Neil Gets It!!!
The proof is in the pudding, see how awesome the trailer looks!!!!!!
