Two weeks after the start of their journey, the lovers began to receive alarming news that a hurricane of the fourth category was approaching their ship. Tami and Richard were experienced yachtsmen, but they could not oppose anything to the natural elements. During a powerful storm, the girl received a serious head injury and lost a lot of blood. Ashcraft woke up only 27 hours later, when the sea had already calmed down. As a result of the disaster, the yacht was left without a mast, and the engine and radio became unusable.  However, the worst thing for Tami was that her lover disappeared during the storm. The pain of loss almost made Ashcraft give up, but in the end she still made the decision to fight for her life with the last bit of strength.

Tami will be portrayed by Shailene Woodley . After the future of the Divergent film series was in doubt, the actress began to actively look for new interesting projects. It was recently revealed that Shailene is also eyeing a starring role in the sci-fi action movie Hummingbird .  The biographical drama about resilience of character Ashcraft has yet to receive funding, but with Cormacour and Woodley on board, it will surely be able to find support from the major film companies. The director and writers are expected to present their project to the Hollywood bosses in the coming days. * - preliminary translation. The Topic of Article: Shailene Woodley Fight the Elements. |
