I agree, as a 20 year old I can pretty confidently say that just about everyone I know my age has read this book. However since we’re older now it makes the task of appealing to us more difficult. If it doesn’t look good then we’re not going to risk seeing something that won’t do the book justice. Risky bsns 4sho

Yesssss! This is awesome news

It’s true that Ender’s game is a bit unknown to younger readers, but I grew up on it, and I’m only 18. I think there would be a strong fanbase for the film, and that it would be pretty successful at roping in younger audiences. At least they are working with good material in the first place, unlike some crappy teen fiction writing like “I am number four”…

I don’t think you can really blame Gavin Hood for the assness that was Wolverine. Fox is known to hire smaller caliber directors so they can pretty much force them to do what THEY want. If Aronofsky can’t get his way with them then how can a dude who made a small African film expect to get any of his own vision onscreen. It’s worth going back and reading some of the set reports from that movie as it didn’t seem like a good time for the poor guy.

If he’s allowed to get a little more leeway on this he could still end up changing people’s minds.

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman? Gavin Hood? Sounds like Ender’s Game might not be off to a great start…I mean from the guys who brought you Star Trek, Transformers and Wolverine? There’s not a lot of heavy brain matter in those movies so if people expect a sophisticated well thought out science fiction movie…well I think the chances of that happening are somewhat on the low side.
