“Card is one of the producers”

Most excellent.

Are you sure? I read a review Card did of "The Phantom Menace" which he rightly panned but he claimed the kid playing Anakin was awesome and wanted him to play Ender in a proposed movie at the time. That kid isn't playing Ender thankfully but it gives me concerns about Card's judgement.

He was probably referring to Jake Lloyd personally. I saw an interview with him on Jay Leno, and even as a 10-year old, he came across as very, very bright. The abomination of “Phantom Menace” marred everyone involved, and, unfortunately for Lloyd, he wasn’t a big enough star (like Portman, Jackson, Lee, Macgregor, etc) to recover from it.
