'Ender's Game': Harrison Ford stares down Asa Butterfield in first photo

Btt
This. Looks. Spectacular! Glad they chose Harrison Ford for this role. If they stayed true to the book at all it will fit him well.
I’ve read and enjoyed almost all the books in the series. I’m really looking forward to the movie.
I liked the book although I doubt The movie will captivate older folks like me.
I want a ringworld movie
Cool enough. The Maori face tattoos for Sir Ben (Mazer Rakham - half Maori Kiwi) was an interesting touch. Hope they don’t lose the darker edges of the novel and make the film kid friendly (PG-13). But am not optimistic on that score.
The very brief film clip gives it away. The same booming woofers; the same CGI; the same under-drawn characters. Just what makes this film different from the 25 or 30 scifi noisefests that have come before?
Isn’t the movie Storm Troopers based on one of the Ender series?
I saw the teaser and I about wet myself. I haven’t been this excited about a movie in a long time.
It would be much easier to film those movies than moving on with Speaker and Xenocide. Not to mention that it would make more of a connection with audiences.
But why did they have to take the set designs from Starship Troopers and join it with costume design by Hunger Games? I mean, I get the technical challenges that would be involved with white sets, but all that steel work in the sets and heavy fabric costumes departs significantly from all the existing technology from space exploration up to this point.
Ahh well, I'll go see the movie, get disappointed by aspects of it, and dread the follow on earth wars which will probably be significantly changed to avoid offending anyone. It is so hard to get excited about anything Hollywood produces anymore.
Love the book. I have the audio version. The narrator, Stephan Rudnicki, does a fantastic job. I hope they don’t ruin it.
