i remember hearing rumors about production after production and fail after fail from more than ten years ago....at first i was sad that it wasn't happening. but, oh, i was a young lad with no taste. i soon realized that there was no way it could be done well and would be best left alone. i'm not looking forward to this.... | ||

"An on-set blog from the producers of the film "Ender's Game." Only one thing on it so far. Edit: I'm praying that the movie is good, but my hopes aren't too high  | ||

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 My feelings exactly : \ | ||

That makes no sense. The games described match nothing of those. | ||

Nooooooo. Really? Tell me more, since I obviously don't understand ad placement and was trying to talk canon. | ||

I just hope they don't downplay the violence and brutal-ness of the book. It's one of my favorite books, and I am hoping for so much. + Show Spoiler + aside from the shower scene i don't recall it being that violent. i suppose peter torturing animals counts some. | ||

No, ad placement generally do have to be unobtrusive. The car someone's driving doesnt affect story, neither do phones, fashion, computers etc to any real degree. WoW instead of the giant's drink game would really mess with the plot and any thoughts of a sequel. Starcraft would also be completely foreign (too hard to understand/explain in a movie) to most viewers and also have nothing to do with the space fighter described in the book. | ||
