Loved this book as a teenager. Read it probably 10 times. I have been looking forward to this for awhile.

Favourite book as a kid. I remember there were rumors that the movie was going to be made years ago, but it never came to be.

Pretty excited about this!

Loved the book as well. I had heard the movie was hung up because Card was adamant that Ender's age be true to the book at 6 years old. Did he have a change of heart? Looks like he's supposed to be about 12 in that screen shot.

[DownhillGoat]

Awesome.

[jammies]

The kid wearing yellow is not standing on his numbers like everyone else. ONE HUNDRED PUSH-UPS!!!!

[KOgear]

This will be amazing, hopefully they make bean's game afterwords!

[Husky]

Sweet!

Now i only they made a series of movies on Drizzt....

I wonder if they will whitewash the underlying Scott Card message that being gay is WRONG and SINFUL (they're called the Buggers FFS).

Seriously the guy is a complete nutter and all his books are just thinly veiled racism and homophobia.

Now, there is a myth that homosexuals are "born that way," and we are pounded with this idea so thoroughly that many people think that somebody, somewhere, must have proved it.
In fact what evidence there is suggests that if there is a genetic component to homosexuality, an entire range of environmental influences are also involved. While there is no scientific research whatsoever that indicates that there is no such thing as a borderline child who could go either way.
Those who claim that there is "no danger" and that homosexuals are born, not made, are simply stating their faith.
The dark secret of homosexual society -- the one that dares not speak its name -- is how many homosexuals first entered into that world through a disturbing seduction or rape or molestation or abuse, and how many of them yearn to get out of the homosexual community and live normally.

Guess it helps if I read the article.

Bringing to life those “complicated” emotions was made easier by the fact that the recruits in the film are a bit older than the Launchies in the novel, who arrive at the Battle School when they are just six and grow into young adults. “I discussed this at length with Orson,” says Hood. “The decision was made very early on to compress the time period into about a year, so that we could have the same actor from beginning to end… We were trying to hit that sweet spot right around 12, which Asa fits in very nicely.”

Though I'd heard of Card's various stances before, I never got a racist/homophobic message from Ender's Game. I think the story is great and can stand on its own regardless of Card's personal opinions.

This is going to be great.

Who names their kid 'Asa?'

this motivated me to pick up the book. and then i learn that there's an entire Ender's Game series of books, is it worth it to start going through them all? seems even more confusing when the release date of the books do not match the chronological events in the universe

Yeah, read them all. They're awesome.

Just don't expect any of them to be as good as the first. As good as they are, the first is an amazing book.

[Burninator]

I really liked the first, barely could make it through the second. Not going to bother with the rest.

[OutOfTheCube]

Is this the year of science fiction or what? I like it.

[Bobblehead]

I read Enders Game and really liked it. I didn't read any of the rest because I heard they weren't as good and was very satisfied where the novel ended.

[malcolmk14]

Loved the first book, it was my favorite book in Grade 6.

Tried to read the others after that and couldn't get through them.

[KOgear]

I enjoyed Beans game more than Enders game. The rest couldn't really get into.
