The cast and crew of Divergent has spent the past two weekends filming on location in Chicago and it looks like they’re hoping the third time will be a charm.
Divergent is scheduled to film scenes in Chicago again this weekend. They are using a helicopter to film near Willis Tower, with a focus on W Adams St and Franklin St from 7:00 – 11:00 A.M., on Saturday, June 1. There is a rain date scheduled for Sunday, if necessary.
There are also signs for filming on LaSalle St near Madison St and Wacker Dr this weekend. Permits were specifically issued for filming at 333 W Wacker Dr for Sunday, June 2, too.
We’re not sure what they will be filming this weekend, but we do know they need a male hand double who is 20 to 30 years old for the shoot.

Thanks to Ken and Mike for the info!
UPDATE: Here are a few more details about the shoot – Signs added on LaSalle all the way from Jackson to Wacker, on Madison from LaSalle to Wacker, and on long stretch of Franklin in the same area. Signs are for Friday night through Monday.

Yes this was filming around 7am outside our hotel . A guest called and asked if there was a helicopter flying around. Of course I googled it to see what was going on and this was it.
The helicopter was actually for a BMW commercial that was being filmed. I watched it on my way to the train station yesterday. They had it fly between buildings on Franklin St.
