The young people of Chicago stand in line for the first of several tests, designed to reveal which faction will best suit them, before five doorways which were added to the Equitable Building on the east side of Pioneer Court Plaza. Opened in 2011 on the site of a former steelworks, Cinespace is still growing and on completion at 1.5 million feet is expected to rank as the largest complex of soundstages in the US, outside of Hollywood. The interior of Tris’s family house was built, along with several other interiors, on soundstages at Cinespace Film Studios, 2621 West 15th Place, which served as home base to the production. The pocket of land, on South Wells Street at the southwest corner of West Harrison Street alongside the Chicago River, was fortuitously up for sale, so in the meantime the production was able to building the 16 temporary structures within the shadow of the Willis Tower, the Hub.

The modest Abnegation village, identical grey cube units laid out regularly on a patch of green in the heart of the city, was built for real. Beatrice/Tris ( Shailene Woodley) is born into Abnegation, a culture of selfless helpers. This society is divided into supposedly cooperative factions, each concentrating on a different set of virtues: Erudite, Abnegation, Candor, etc … and, although children are born into these classes, they’re given one single, irreversible opportunity to change.
Where the film scores is in replacing Games’s extravagantly Baroque ruling class with stern technocrats and setting the action in a grubby, festering, post-war Chicago Loop, using plenty of real Windy City locations, scruffed down and weedy with CGI. Apart from that, it’s not The Hunger Games. But it is a post-apocalyptic urban dystopia with society divided into factions and a bunch of young adults adopting survivalist mode to challenge a controlling elite.
