More Delays for Ender Movie
Arramol writes "IGN reports that difficulties in hammering out a screenplay have resulted in more delays for the Ender's Game movie. Despite attempts by several teams of writers, no script has yet been written that meets necessary standards in the minds of Warner Brothers or author Orson Scott Card. The latest plan involves an entirely new script written by Card himself."
They should take a card from Douglas Adams et. al... and just slap some shit together, and let the digital effects speak for themselves.
No... wait... don't.
I'm sure in the hollywood version it's all surly teenagers etcetera. Can't have Card's anti-war message coming through too clearly now.
Right! Cuz there's no more right-wing, gung-ho, pro-war establishment than today's Hollywood. Damn wingnuts...
Anti-war message?
Are we even talking about the same Orson Scott Card here?
"First lesson," Jon said. "Stick them with the pointy end."
Seems to be popular on her but I'll risk a troll rating by saying
that I found Enders Games to be the dullest sci fi book I've ever
read and in fact I got so bored I gave up 3/4 way through.
The only other book that got even remotely close in tedium rating
was Radix by A. A. Attanasio.
Enders Game - great book for people who rate political allegory above
anything remotely resembling a good plot.
If Warner had their way, I would have to guess that they would like to see it cut out entirely, or have Ender not kill them.
Dude, if Warner had their way, you would just send them the 10 bucks, and let them skip making the movie.
