I loved those books! Looks like a great movie too. I hope they will go on to make Ender's Shadow too!

Holy shit, this is the first time I've seen this and it's pretty epic. Can't wait to see this in a cinema.

Hmm, the moko doesn't really suit the Ben Kingsley physique and face. Other than that looks good.

I can't wait for PL to spoil the ending with one of their station names.

I rather liked the book, so after seeing that action packed trailer focusing on the alien vs human battle I'm weary of what direction the movie will take. I think it was already stated that they won't be doing the side story in the book of enders siblings on earth which i can fully understand. But I hope the movie focuses on ender and not on the greater war that in the book is more like an ominous background instead of a direct threat.

I'm scottish so I don't know these things called "books"... The guy that plays ender is doing an AMA on reddit today, in case you fan boys wanted to know. He commented on the trailer post on reddit last night stating that fans of the book??? Would not be disappointed with the way the film is done. http://www.reddit.co...sort=confidence

Not having read the books, I'm not as familiar with this as some of you guys obviously are, but this looks promising for sure.

Don't they always say fans of the book won't be disappointed? It's like the standard bullshit PR line.

Also, what the flying fuck is with people putting the ending in the sodding trailers?

Because of Burns. How can y'appreciate the other Bard if ye hae nae words? :)


Ref: the film, SQUEEEEEEEEE!

I'm a little worried about it being dumbed down to fit in a movie length, but since it was a short story to start with (before being expanded to the novel) and the Peter/Valentine political stuff should be able to be dropped with no real effect on the plot, I don't think it's an impossible task to keep enough intact.

The brief Battle Room clips and what I assume is ship formations from the Command School simulations look encouraging. Do wish they'd used another Little Doctor sequence though, because as far as I remember all the other battles were in deep space so there's really only one thing it could be.

Hmm, looks interesting. Suppose I can get over the fact that Orson Scott Card is becoming ever more of an asshat the older and grumpier he gets. Also, hope it only touches on the first book, Speaker for the Dead was bloody terrible.

Speaker, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind aren't really in series with Ender's Game. Same character - sorta, same universe - sorta, but very different books. I wouldn't expect them to be the target of sequelization if EG does well.

I enjoyed reading Ender's Game and the other books. The twist at the end was unexpected, look forward to the movie.

If you want more along those lines Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant are all quite good as well.

I personally liked Speaker for the Dead and its sequels, but if you read it looking for more Ender's Game you'll be disappointed.
