Everyone talks about actors, but what about directors. Which director do ya'll think can do the movie and make you feel the way you do when you read the book? I say Spielberg. Because this movie is like the combination of many of his movies. 1st encounters of the 3rd kind, ET, saving private ryan, jaws(because we don't ever see too much of the shark but its the idea that he's there, it's how imagine the buggers being portrayed)

Spielberg reportedly wanted to change the story so that no one dies. Though Spielberg has gone for "darker" stories lately, so who knows.

I Like the idea of Joss Whedon, He is artistic and knows how to tell a story through film. He made Firefly and Serenity feel like you watched a homemade film. I have not seen Buffy the Vampire slayer( which is also a Joss production) so I can only review him from Firefly and Serenity.

Brian Singer should never be allowed to make a movie about any character anyone cares about ever, ever again.
Let him make his own movies with his own people. Don't ever, ever, ever run the risk of what he'll do with any character anyone has any pre-existing feelings for.

Card is not a fan of Spielberg's work so I doubt he will do it. Though I must say NOBODY can get the performances out of child actors that Spielberg gets.

I thought there already was a director? IMDB lists Wolfgang Petersen as director, but I don't know if that is a sure thing or subject to change. What's the latest on the movie? I couldn't seem to find any definite current sources of info that I considered trustworthy. Has OSC finished the script?

It's no longer at Warner Bros., which means Wolfgang Peterson is no longer attached. So at this point, the movie's sort of back to where it was before Warner and Wolfgang got attached, except that there are apparently now some better Card-pen scripts than there were last time.
At least that's how I understand it.

I'm trying to figure out which Bryan Singer movie ruined a character you cared about, Doc.
The Usual Suspects and Apt Pupil were great.
X-men and X-2 were respectable, and worlds better than X-3.
Superman Returns was much, much better than expected.
Maybe Singer ruined the X-men characters or Superman for you, Doc? I tend to think he made them much more real and alive than the comic books. Maybe we just disagree?

Peter Jackson doing low-budget splatter. If we can't get Kubrick back from the dead, that's the best all time directing style. It also solves the problem of who would play Bean. Use a discusting puppet-monster. I'd pay double to see that.

I've seen people complain about Superman Returns, but I liked it better than all the old ones I definitely wouldn't blame Singer for Brandon Routh's amateur performance, if that's the problem. I thought the script, cinematography, and acting were all great.

I think there's another thread about this. Not sure. I was also thinking Michael Bay but then I realized he can't do long talking scenes. He wants a lot of action but 70% of Ender's Game is talking. But then there's Ender's Shadow....
Also, I'm not watching it if Peter Jackson directs it. I'm not sitting through a 42 hour movie.

The only chance the EG movie will work is if Christopher Nolan is directing. Unfortunately, we'll probably have to wait until he is finished with the Batman series.
By the way, Has Nolan shown any interest in EG?

Wow, that's exactly what I pictured Bean looking like! Sign Jackson up, but give him just a thousand dollars for the budget. It'll be like "Design on a Dime"--blockbuster style!
