Kate Winslet has been on a bit of a hot streak lately. The actress, who won an Oscar in 2008 for her role in The Reader<\/em>, recently married Ned Rocknrol<\/a>l and discussed<\/a> her love life (including her divorce from director Sam Mendes) in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Now, it appears that the Titanic<\/em> actress could be part of the next big young adult movie series. Reuters is reporting<\/a> that Winslet has been cast in the role of Jeanine Matthews in the movie Divergent<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Divergent<\/em> is will be adapted from a series of young adult novels by Veronica Roth. The books are set in a dystopian Chicago, where a young girl deals with the political and philosophical realities of the different factions that rule society.<\/p>\n

Though Winslet’s name will lend credibility to the movie, it could also be a chance for the actress to step away from the more serious dramatic roles she is known for. Winslet has shown a knack for comedy in the past, as the clip below from a 2005 episode of the Ricky Gervais\/Stephen Merchant comedy Extras<\/em> demonstrates:<\/p>\n
