The Hunger Games came out much more "kid" friendly due to the lack of real violence that was in the book(s). I hope the same doesn't happen to Ender's Game. I want to see Ender fight Stilson and Bonzo - two key plot points in the novel in regards to the development of Ender's character without Hollywood trying to make it PG. Ender's Game should be a PG-13 movie. | ||

There are five books based on Bean, Peter, and the rest of the Battle School kids, with a sixth on the way. | ||

As for child actors -- it will take some seriously good directing.... one might even consider for the sake of the movie aging the children a couple years..... unfortunate but perhaps necessary. | ||

As for child actors -- it will take some seriously good directing.... one might even consider for the sake of the movie aging the children a couple years..... unfortunate but perhaps necessary. Enders Game was a short story written for a Sci Fi magazine. He then expanded it into a full novel because he wanted to write speaker for the dead. I think that is accurate. Card details it all in the forward to the definitive edition of Ender's Game. | ||

Ooh, I didn't know about the sixth. I've read Ender's Shadow and I freaking loved it, it's incredible how well the two books wove together. Were the rest of them similarly done? | ||

The philosophical ideas explored in the Speaker books are fascinating, but the stuff that goes on in the Shadow books is just so compelling, with a bit of philosophy thrown in as well. | ||

They're all about the geopolitics on Earth after the Formic threat is removed and nations return to jockeying for power with the help of their respective Battle Schoolers. THEY ARE SO GOOD.

My thoughts exactly; I enjoyed the Shadow books more than the other Ender books. I don't have high hopes for the movie, since Ender's game seems like it would be difficult to portray on film. Harrison Ford as Graff and the kid from Hugo as Ender (I think) is cool, though. Even if the move does turn out okay, I doubt that it will live up to the books. | ||

I will be, for the first time, boycotting a movie (assuming its actually ever going to come out) that I read first as a book to preserve my good memories of it!  | ||
