After reading OSC's review of "Finding Neverland" my mother and I made a point to watch it in the near future. The near future happened to be last night and we both enjoyed it.
Where did they get these kids actors? They were amazing! Would it be possible to use any of these kids in the Ender's Game movie? Just a thought.

I think OSC actually mentioned that specifically on the boards (can't recall when). The problem with using those actors is that by the time the movie actually gets made they will be much too old for the roles. Unfortunate to be sure but I do think that we can at least look at Finding Neverland and assure ourselves that it is certainly possible to find excellent child actors.

Also, Ender and Bean are specifically NOT English, and asking kids to "do accents" is a bit much.

True true.
But like the other guy said it does give one hope.
