I’ve been following this for a while. My only reservation is that Gavin Hood is directing it. He directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and well, we all know how that turned out (if all you saw was the work print, you didn’t miss anything). Horrible movie, and I still don’t know why it was so bad.
If the reason for that movie being terrible was writers, then he’ll get another shot. But if Ender’s Game comes out bad, and it was Hood’s fault, well, I just hope that it’s his last job in Hollywood.
At least Card is one of the producers, so that should help a bit.
