I see that super overrated Harrison Ford is in it. Oh, well. :(

One of the best books ever written. The problem is that you won’t be able to find so many young kids who have the talent to accurately portray all the characters.

But...But...But... Ender’s Game was written by a Mormon, you know, that one religion that kept just enough conservatives home the night of the election... to seal our fate.

Seriously though, I can't wait. I have a signed copy of the book by Mr. Card.

Harrison doesn’t look so good there. Looks bloated.

Looking forward to this one. I just hope it doesn’t bank enough for them to decide to do the other books, they stink. 1 great book with a number of atrocious sequels... hmm actually that’s perfect for Hollywood.

1985 sci-fi novel

I read it as a short story in "Analog" magazine -- back in 1977, if I remember correctly.

The themes aren’t that complex. I liked it because it was such a straightforward pageturner. It’s one of the few novels I’ve read in one sitting. I assume the problem with getting Sneer onscreen is not its complexity but the fact that it’s incredibly violent and about a 5 year old (or so, I don’t recall perfectly). Also a lot of it takes place in zero gravity.

Harrison Ford was great as Han Solo. Sure, his dialogue was a little corny, but that wasn’t his fault. And he was great as Indiana Jones, at least in the first three movies. It’s been downhill ever since; now his idea of portraying a “tough guy” consists of growling and looking like he’s constipated.

Awesome

[Daveinyork]

Has a release date been announced?

[thefactor]

Very excited for the movie.I’ve read the book twice. Then I asked for the audio book a few years ago so I can sit and listen to it. So great.

[SJSAMPLE]

Great book.
The sequels and spinoffs, not so much.

[GSWarrior]

Loved the book. Can't say the same for the sequels.

Can't wait for the movie.

[Prospero]

Glad to see Orson Scott Card getting some well-deserved pay back on this saga. I stumbled on the Ender's Game works at a garage sale. It was compelling, though I think some of the later novels, on faraway planets in a galactic civilization, even better. He's just a damn good writer.

Not to mention a vocal Conservative, over in Guilford County, NC.

I fear this movie adaptation will be as good as the one for Starship Troopers.

I hope I am wrong.

[Rebelbase]

I live about a mile from Orson Scott Card and occasionally see him at the grocery or sub shop.

He is the most unassuming, humble person with hit books and an upcoming movie that I imagine exists.

[trisham]

I love Card’s books. I’ll see the movie.

[wastedyears]

Ford at least has sci-fi chops. The kids are all too old anyway.
