“Card is one of the producers”

Most excellent.

I’ve been following this for a while. My only reservation is that Gavin Hood is directing it. He directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and well, we all know how that turned out (if all you saw was the work print, you didn’t miss anything). Horrible movie, and I still don’t know why it was so bad.

If the reason for that movie being terrible was writers, then he’ll get another shot. But if Ender’s Game comes out bad, and it was Hood’s fault, well, I just hope that it’s his last job in Hollywood.

Very much looking forward to this. Last year I read all of the Ender series of novels. It was addictive. I’m about to go get Card’s newest one (on the Formic war).

I’ve been following the Ender series since the beginning. I’m looking forward to the movie. Card is one of my favorite authors.

I have never shared the enthusiasm of the rest of the SF community for Orson Scott Card as a writer. Never-the-less, I wish him more success at seeing his book turned into a movie than many a better author.

Card is an excellent author as well as a philosopher. I read all the Ender’s series. I particularly liked the character “Bean” which itself an excellent spinoff.

I hope he continues to write more along this line.

I’ll be looking forward to Ender’s Games movie when it is released! I hope Hood doesn’t ruin it.

Sweet! If they screw it up, like they did Starship Troopers, I may have to harm someone.

People told me that Enders Game was as good as Dune so I bought the book and read it. It doesn't even come close the the writings of the Dune series. Yes, I will see the movie but not expecting much.

Ho hum, I’ll pass.

Now if only somebody made a thrilling trilogy all about and a PROPERLY made Halo: Combat Evolved or starting with The Fall of Reach and then working on then I’ll get worked up.

None of those Canadian half assed special effects flics, the whole enchilada.

Bring it on Hollywood, I dare you to make Halo you limp wristed left leaning greeners.
