More Delays for Ender Movie

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the wiggin-out dept.

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."

  1. How else to film a beloved book? by derinax · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.

  2. Dullest Sci-fi book I ever read by Viol8 · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.
