Unfortunately, direction ofInsurgent and Allegiant, Robert Schwentke, has dropped out of helming the final Divergent Film Ascendant. He needed a break from the franchise. But its not too late for Neil Burger to come back!! Sign this petition to Lionsgate to get Neil back at the helm! He created this world for the screen, he should do the job of finishing it!

He really knows how to make an organic relationship with four and tris instead of mainly wanting to just get the action scenes right . Like Robert

Okay, I loved Neil's take on DIVERGENT, and Robert for INSURGENT and ALLEGIANT. I do want Neil Burger to come back for the final movie. I like Neil's realism for DIVERGENT and I liked Robert's futuristic take on the series. But I do think Neil had a better taste for the series.

I would like Neil Burger back because we fans would want the movies to be like the books. I was quite disappointed with insurgent cause it was such a big twist from the books. Divergent series is a Utopian and dystopian book not SciFi

Thank you Robert for your hard work, But the last mobile has to be directed by someone who knows the actors, the story, And everything so Neil is the best choice :)

This movie franchise has been going downhill ever since the new director came in. Neil stayed close to the book in the first adaptation and made it fantastic. WE NEED HIM BACK HE IS OUR SAVING GRACE

I adore the world he created in Divergent. It was very much like how I imagined it when I first read the book. I would love to see him back, wrapping the whole series up.

This movie needs to finish the same way it started, on the big screen. The fans need that closure for the final movie, if this movie by-passes the movie theaters, you might as well make a lifetime movie.
