So I've read both of those books several times. I decided why not again. I got them on audio so I could play Minecraft and WoW while listening to them. At the end of Ender's Shadow Orson talks about the movie that I heard about him doing years ago. Now this audio was made a long time ago, in the 90's I believe. It's been over 10 years from then and the movie industry has really moved forward. The main problem suggested was people wanting to make Ender 15-16 which is absurd but for money and work reasons it would work with Hollywood. There has been a lot more kids movies or just movies with kids playing important roles. With the new visual graphics they use in movies like Speed Racer or Tron do you think with a good child actor would Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow become much more plausible to become a movie. Orson said if he were to do a movie it would be both books in one also.
