[Movies] Ender's Game - The production blog!

[Symphonic]

I don't know if any of you are interested, but I loved the books and am excited that the movie is being made. I think the actor's they've chosen have been really well done, and if you're interested, the production blog is live:

(She's not in the Ender's Game book, but apparently she's "a military psychologist who oversees the emotional welfare of young trainees. She also helps design the games that test their skills and resilience.") Sounds like the Anderson in the books... but wasn't that a guy?

I am definitely excited for this

Looking like a good cast, better start reading it if you haven't before the trailers come out and it becomes the new thing for teenagers.

A new blog post has been added, as well as a request for questions so the production team can answer them!

Orson Scott's words are not reassuring because he just basically said the movie isn't like the book because he is not writing it the director is.

I'm scared, why is a director messing with Scott's book when he has made screenplays himself they could use.

I love that books but if a director fails I will see red

I have high hopes for the movie. OSC does appear to be a little disgruntled that movies change what people think for themselves when imagining what it is like in the book, but I bet most authors feel that way about movies from their books. I really hope this is a good movie, though.
