Kate Winslet is said to be in talks for an unspecified role in Neil Burger’s Divergent, Variety reports.

Shailene Woodley is already set to lead the adventure, which centers around the monumental choice of deciding who you are and discovering who you can be. Set in a future where America is divided into five ideological factions to stabilize society and uphold peace, every citizen must choose a permanent faction at age 16 – either their own or another. Struggling to survive her initiation into the most aggressive and physically demanding of the factions, Beatrice Prior must uncover her true hidden strengths and risk her family, her new found love, and her very own life to defuse a mysterious conspiracy which could change the balance of power forever.

Winslet, who last appeared in Contagion, will next appear in the ensemble sketch anthology Movie 43.

Divergent is planned to hit theaters on March 21, 2014 with Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher producing via their Red Wagon Entertainment banner along with Pouya Shahbazian.

Sorry for posting this late!

Congratulations to Kate & Ned!

Talk about a Titanic secret.

Kate Winslet has tied the knot with Richard Branson’s nephew, Ned Rocknroll, her rep tells PEOPLE.

“I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rock’nRoll in NY earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family,” the rep says. “The couple had been engaged since the summer.”

According to British media reports, Leonardo DiCaprio gave away the bride in a ceremony so secret that the bride and groom’s parents didn’t know about it.

The Oscar-, Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning actress, 37, has been dating Rocknroll, 34, (his legal name) since fall of 2011.

In August 2011, she and Rocknroll were on the same Caribbean island owned by Branson when a fire broke out and Winslet rescued Branson’s 90-year-old mother.

Winslet previously was married to Sam Mendes and Jim Threapleton.

Actress Kate Winslet is set to be made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her contributions to modern Britain.

She will be honored along with Gareth Malone, who performed at Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee concert Saturday and will be honored with an Order of the British Empire.

Although Winslet won acclaim for her work in Heavenly Creatures (1994) and received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Sense and Sensibility (1995), Winslet, 36, became a superstar with her performance in James Cameron’s Titanic (1997). That film earned her another Oscar nomination and became the most financially successful movie ever made until the release of Cameron’s follow-up film Avatar (2009).

Titanic told the story of fictitious lovers Rose (Winslet) and Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) set against the backdrop of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. The sinking itself marks its 100th anniversary this year.

Winslet won an Oscar for her performance in The Reader (2008). She also reunited with DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008).

Gareth, 36, is being honored for raising awareness of the sacrifices of the U.K. armed forces.

Also set to receive an OBE is singer Gary Barlow, who also contributed to the Queen’s concert.
