‘Insurgent’ filming zip line scenes in downtown Atlanta this week!

As Insurgent wraps up filming at the Serenbe Community, crews have been prepping their next location –downtown Atlanta.

There signs posted along Peachtree St that say filming will be taking place between 6/11 – 6/24 (this includes setting up and tearing down the set but we can assume the shoot will take place over multiple days this coming week).


The sets are actually on top of several rooftops (including one on top of the Peachtree Center) and they are connected by zip lines. On Friday, stunt men and women were seen practicing and testing the zip lines several times.

The Divergent sequel stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, Octavia Spencer, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q and Mekhi Phifer. The movie is based Veronica Roth’s best selling book series and hits theaters Mar. 20, 2015.

Video: Jai Courtney of Divergent

If you saw Divergent, then you saw Jai who plays Eric in the series, but who knew how hot the Australian actor was? Well we did, if you saw him in the action packed, 'A good Day to Die Hard' with Bruce Willis or even the hit tv series Spartacus.  Jai stopped by Jimmy Kimmel last week to of course talk about Divergent. Make sure you check out the two clips below. Pay close attention to part two close to the 3:25 mark to hear Jai's take on his fans and being legal {winks}
