I think there should be a series of alvin maker movies

I think it'd work alot better into a movie than say ender's game

(not that I wouldn't love to see EG become a movie but yeah)

just a thought

It would be very, very difficult and would require massive changes to the story, but if it could actually be done, it was be an awesome movie. But EG is still definately the best OSC book for a movie, since it's actually based around action.

I think an Alvin Maker TV sries would be better.

Pfft, action shmaction, doesn't matter to me.

Honestly, I'd like to see a Homecoming saga movie... that'd be something good to watch, though I'd wonder how they would include talking with the Oversoul...

Maybe it would be like talking to God in The Fiddler on the Roof . [Dont Know]

Ender's game is not really about the action at all. If you're waiting for an action movie, I think you may be disappointed. It does have some great action scenes, but it's mainly a character driven novel that just happens to be set in a space station.

Vadon, finally someone else is saying what I say all the time! There are tons of ways to show them talking with the Oversoul, I would think the 'inside your head' voice over would be the best way
