Deadline reports that Summit Entertainment, the folks who bought us the Twilight films, have acquired the US rights for Ender's Games. Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is set to direct his script. Is there any way this movie could be good? | ||

And Summit Entertainment+Gavin Hood = cheap film that will sell, but will probably ultimately butcher the series I'll probably watch it regardless because I just love the Ender series but I can't see myself being impressed atm... | ||

I honestly cannot see 14-15 year olds acting well enough to really make Ender's Game come alive given how dark and deep parts of it are.

If you've seen the trailer for that Sorscese movie for kids, that little dude could definitely be Peter. | ||

I love the idea of model-work instead of green screen; go Card! | ||

Just compare Game of Thrones and LotR. I'm not saying LotR wasn't good, but it could have been much better if they had followed the books as closely as GoT did. I hope they notice this and bring us some good tv-show adaptations of books such as Dune, Foundation and whatnot. | ||

You clearly don't know what troll means and have some absurdly unrealistic expectations for hollywood movies based on books. | ||

There haven't been many movies better than the book. LOTR series. That's about all I can think of. (I guess GoT doesn't count...) | ||

There's pretty much no way this movie is going to be good. It would be incredibly difficult to try and capture the most salient elements of the story in a cinematic form, but they're probably not even going to try. It'll probably just be a dumbed down shitty action-movie variation on the story. Oh well. edit: source: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118047827 | ||
