After the ad was done playing on TV my wife and I looked at each other with a confused expression. To our surprise, the lead male actor had changed from Miles Teller to a guy named Ansel Elgort ( ). We we’re also talking about another recent movie we had watched with Miles Teller called “The Spectacular Now” and how it was alright so maybe that’s why they chose him for Fault in Our Stars.Ī couple on Months had passed since we saw divergent and we were watching TV when a trailer for the Fault in Our Stars came on. We kept ragging on their choice of Miles Teller for the boyfriend in Fault in Our Stars. On the car ride home we discussed divergent (it was alright I guess) and we discussed the trailer for Fault in Our Stars.

After the trailer finished we both turned to each other and laughed and whispered something to the effect of “That’s funny, Miles Teller is also in divergent and now he’s gonna be in this movie too, they must have connections with the production crews to be in both films.” My wife also wasn’t happy with the casting choice because Miles Teller isn’t exactly the kinda guy you’d expect in that role. It was a good minute to a minute and a half long trailer featuring those two actors and we watched it intently since we like to discuss what we think about certain trailers. We both clearly remember that in the trailer the main character was played by Shailene Woodley and in this trailer her romantic interest character was played by actor Miles Teller ( ). This was the first time either of us had seen a trailer for the film. During the previews for the film, they had a trailer for The Fault in Our Stars. Both of those movies stared the same female lead actress, Shailene Woodley ( ).Īnyway my wife and I saw the movie Divergent when it came out opening night in March of 2014. The year was 2014 and there were two pretty big book-to-movie adaptations that came out that year. It’s important to note that my wife is a published young adult fiction author, and because of that we tend to keep up with the popular books and movie adaptations of books in that category.


Has anyone else out there experienced this specific glitch or one very similar? I wanted to share this particular story because it’s been bugging us for years and we still reference it to each other. There was a weird pop-culture related shift experience that happened to my wife and I a few years ago, and now that I’m aware of the glitch in the matrix phenomenon that’s what I think it could have been.
