With the upcoming movie, Insurgent, the stars of the movie hope to bring back the fans of the first movie, but also build off of what that movie started and create a wholly emotional experience at the movies.

Speaking with the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex last week, Shailene Woodley and Theo James talked about what people could expect with the new movie and how the massive scope makes for a lot more action all around.

"It's been wonderful. I've been having so much fun. It's been really nice to switch things up," Woodley said.

"Our director is different, the set design is different, the costumes are different. It feels much bigger. It's interesting because the movie feels bigger in tone and in image but in a scene it feels smaller. Some scenes feel like we're doing an indie film in a way because they're so full of truth."

James added that the movie is emotional, but it strikes deeper even though it is a blockbuster film and not something meant to be intimate.

"Yeah (it is emotional), but not in a cheesy way. There's real stakes behind it, and sometimes that's hard to find in spectacular situations," James said.

"If you're watching these movies that are spectacles, which are fun and it's about this thing and escapism, sometimes the crux of the emotionality gets lost. That doesn't necessarily sometimes matter, but we are trying to retain that with this film."

Insurgent stars Woodley, James, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Kate Winslet, and Zoe Kravitz. The film opens in theaters on March 20, 2015.
