So I know that there's been talk about Enders Game being made into a movie for a really long time, but now it seems official. On IMDB (internet movie database), if you look up Wolfgang Peterson- who directed "troy" and "air force one" it says that it's announced that he will direct Enders Game, and that it'll come out in 2006. I don't know about you guys, but I think thats pretty exciting news, we have a great director filming a great book. thats all!

no way!
Posted by Destineer (Member # 821) on :
Are you being sarcastic? The films you mentioned are two of Peterson's worst.
Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :
It's true! and I hear Jake Lloyd is going to play Ender!
*ducks and runs from thread*

ok, well i personally didn't like Troy, but I was just giving an example of some of his works because he's well known. "in the line of fire" was pretty good though, I thought.

This is the "official" info on Ender's Game. As you can see, they now have writers as well as a director.
I hear they're going to use that creepy kid from The Ring... not really, I just thought I'd be annoying.

Actually, I thought one of the things Troy really didn't suffer from at all was directing. Peterson did a good job with it, and the movie was much better then I expected.
Of course, compared to Das Boot, or The Perfect Storm, the directing wasn't very good... but those two movies were amazing.

I still think that kid from Problem Child would be perfect for the role of Ender.

I hated that kid. And the kid from The Kid. Ugh.

But he's a bit old now, isn't he?
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
I think that the kid who played Anakin in the Return of the Jedi should play Ender.
Posted by Homestarrunner (Member # 5090) on :
I find it hard to imagine a big, serious argument at Hatrack about who was going to play Ender. Apparently there was one, though, and it was serious enough to make the subject taboo forevermore.

Nah, this just comes up as a topic every few months or so by newbies, and has become, sadly, a time in which we collectively rant.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
That boy who played Peter in Finding Neverland. And that is a serious suggestion, provided he can work on the accent.
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
I still say Herve Villachez should be Ender.
Posted by ssywak (Member # 807) on :
I think the kid that played the lead in Disney's "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" should play Ender.
Or would that be Graff?

Man, Mickey Rooney all the way.
Posted by Homestarrunner (Member # 5090) on :
I've been around more than 4 years, and I haven't seen a serious discussion of who's going to play Ender. But yes, there have been lots of allusions to the firestorm that swept through here on the subject. And now there are just jokes.
Not that I'm advocating having a serious discussion again. I think it's kind of a silly subject to argue about. Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :

I think there was at least one argument that bordered on moral rectitude vs. the PC religion.

or the voice? (This guy) Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Can't they both do it?
Posted by IdemosthenesI (Member # 862) on :
I'm for Dame Judi Dench.
Then you could have Michael Jackson safely play Graff!
Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
I'm for Patrick Stewart as Graff and Sean Connery as Mazer. Mazer is from New Zealand and from I can tell the accents are similar.

These threads would almost be funny if it weren't for the people that take them seriously.
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
I AM taking them seriously!!!!!

THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!

ZOMG lol u r rite.
Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :
do you guys think i could maybe get an audition? i mean, i know i'm too old for battle school, but maybe OSC could write a part just for me? or, well... i played noah in a bible school play once. maybe i could put on a fake beard and play mazer. i can't play graff, i'm not heartless enough. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
There have been MANY threads about this...use the search (you know, there IS one of those here at Hatrack) and you will see.
Not to mention that OSC, our host, wrote about it, and put it on the front page here...
On the other side it is talked about constantly. Here, in BFFAC, not so often.
Thank God!

I didn't like it,. They talked about "the movie" too much...

I thought Troy and Air Force One were both fantastic. I'd be happy if Wolfgang did Ender's Game.
