Ender's Game Trailer Released

The first trailer has been released for the movie adaptation of Orson Scott Card's sci-fi classic Ender's Game. It gives us a good look at Harrison Ford as Colonel Graff, Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rackham, and Hugo's Asa Butterfield as Ender. It also demonstrates just how much money they put into the special effects for this movie.

FTFY:

Ender's game = hunger games for 13 year old boys

Yes I read the book, I thought it was garbage pulp fantasy for those of limited breadth and imagination.

That's why I'm going to pirate it.

Actually, can I just pirate a good movie?

"you don't know who Nietzsche is do you?"

Sure, he was a gay philosopher who got his syphilis from a gay brothel in Italy who told people God was dead.

IOW a dream candidate for the Republicans.

FX spaceships are cheap. The effects are no better than Iron Sky. Since this has Big Name Actors, they probably spent too much.

In the book, the adults barely appear. But if they paid for Harrison Ford, they probably let him talk too much.

Just wait til the narrated cut comes out.

Why do you assume they'd need Ford to play an adult? With good makeup artists, you can do pretty much anything. They could have Ford playing Ender's desk chair.

This reminds me of 2 of my ex-girlfriends.
            One would not read The Chronicles of Narnia because she was Christian and the books were not.
              The other would not read them because the books were too Christian.

I am with Cervesaebraciator on this one – judge art on it’s own sake. And if it bugs you too much then borrow the DVD from the local library – Card won’t get too much money that way.
