Funny or DieHungry for the upcoming Divergent sequel? Here's something to tide you over.
Chloë Grace Moretz showcases a dauntless attitude about healthy eating in a Funny or Die mock trailer that spoofs the dystopian film Divergent. The clip, which was released on Tuesday, also stars Tyler Posey of MTV's Teen Wolf, Clark Duke of Greek and Two and a Half Men, Veep actress Sufe Bradshaw and first lady Michelle Obama, who has since 2010 championed a campaign against childhood obesity.
Moretz parodies Shailene Woodley's role in Divergent, which is getting a 2015 sequel, Insurgent. In Divergent, Woodley plays a Tris, teenager who undergoes a test to find out which one of society's five factions she would fit into best. Due to her independent spirit and ability to think outside the box, her results are inconclusive. If governing leaders found out, they would consider her a nonconformist and a threat.
In the parody, titled "Snackpocalypse," the factions are named after junk food (the "Pop Rockers" is an especially nice nostalgic touch) and its members are seemingly possessed by it—they shuffle around like zombies, drink soda out of drinking fountains, throw snacks at each other and collapse from their sugar and sodium overdoses.
Moretz dares to fight the system by...chomping on a Granny Smith Apple. And a carrot. She's told by a pseudo nurse (parodying Maggie Q's Tori) and a guy with back tattoos (Posey, spoofing Theo James' Four) that she's "different" from her peers. It is up to her to liberate the people from their junk food stupor...and the last pieces of fruit and vegetables, which have been imprisoned inside a particularly uncooperative vending machine.
Despite the pro-nutrition message, Obama is less than impressed and is in more of a Disney movie kind of mood. Watch the "trailer" below.
