Wow! This is amazing, a movie of Ender's Game. This is great, I've fantasized about how a movie would be of Ender's Game, and after seeing Harry Potter, and Lord of The Rings, I realized, it would really suck. But not with OSC writing the script! That is the only thing I need to know, it is going to be a great mvoie regardless, now. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Too bad it's not due before 2007!

Emma Watson should totally play Petra.

Or maybe Anderson.

I have a few ideas as to who should play Ender.

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

They're making a movie out of Ender's Game?!

Awesome.

Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :

I don't think Frisco is available, Kama... He's studying up to play Hercules.

Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :

BTW, Alex, the movie has been in development for 5+ years now (I think). We are all excited for it, but over the last 5+ years, there have been many threads like yours.

So we like to have a little bit of fun with them, but mean you no ill will.

DUde! That star wars kid should play ender!!!!11one.

Ni!

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Hercules, eh? That opens a lot of possibilities... mainly for the body oil use. [Razz]

Posted by Stephan (Member # 7549) on :

I heard Tom Welling was up for the role.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Sasha for Ender!

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I still want Dwayne Johnson as Bean.

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

And Will Smith as Graff.

Posted by Vid (Member # 7172) on :

I heard Harrison Ford is gonna play Ender. I mean, if he can make another Indiana Jones, he's young enough to portray a 9-year-old military supergenius.

And Sly Stallone is gonna play Bean.

Posted by ifmyheartcouldbeat (Member # 8692) on :

Exciting!

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

I still say that it's going to be a one man show starring Robin Williams.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Who remembers the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoons? Remember that little chicken hawk, the one with the round head and glasses who was always catching Foghorn? Well, he would make a great Ender.

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

Ender's Game the lunch box! Ender's Game the breakfast cereal! Ender's Game the flame thrower!

Posted by Tinros (Member # 8328) on :

Flame thrower? I could handle an Ender's Game flame thrower!

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

All I need at the moment is Ender's Game the toilet paper.

*this is so Space Balls

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

The link has spoilers for those that haven't read the book!!!

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

I think Zach Braff should play Ender. And the guy who plays Dr. Cox on "Scrubs" should be Graff.

Edit to add: Altarion, what about Ender's Game the flamethrower? The kids will LOVE that one.

Sure, why not? He was a youngster with super-human abilities who was used as a pawn by older, more persuasive figures as a weapon for war. It fits.

Posted by starter (Member # 9073) on :

Bah, the EG movie would suck. No child actor could play the part of Ender/Bean satisfactorily. Yes they are combining Ender's Shadow and Ender's Game into one movie.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

You know, they could just use the entire cast of Scrubs. The janitor would make a great Mazer to Zach Braff's Ender.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

hey there you go!

And Carla would make a great Petra. And Sarah Chalke could play Valentine.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

I maintain that Vin Diesel needs a significant role in this movie. Preferably in minimal clothing.

What's Ender's Game? [Big Grin]

Please no. That would force to choose between my great desire to see the EG movie and my steadfast refusal to take any action that might prolong Vin Diesel's career.

Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :

OMG!!! They're making a movie of Ender's Game?

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

That's cruel, JT. Vin Diesel needs to pay for strippers just like everyone else.

-pH

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

I thought he was dreamy enough that he could get girls to strip just by flexing.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

He could get ME to strip by flexing...

What a dreamboat.

How did an Ender's Game thread come round to stripping for Vin Diesel? Inquiring minds want to know...

Yes, please.

Oh, John C. McGinley...

He could always become a Pastafarian. Not only will he get his strippers, but they'll throw in a beer volcano too.

your all crazy! and then i went onto a long speech about how emma watson would make a horrible petra, how bean is the size of a 3-9 year old throught most of the book, and how ender goes from 6 to about 15, but then i hit submit, and it says that the forum doesnt support parenthesis tags (Again with those cursed parenthesis tags!)

Copy and Paste the address directly into the address field, leaving the brackets out... That worked for me. Here is your link:

All subjects can be related to stripping for Vin Diesel.

Gay marriage? Well, I'll strip for Vin Diesel if he'll support gay marriage.

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Hmm....I think I should play Petra. But that's just my opinion. [Wink]

(I might be a little old. Maybe I can play Petra's beautiful and intelligent sister. Yeah, that's sounds right.)

Posted by Earendil18 (Member # 3180) on :

I'll play Peter in the sequels. [Wink]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I want to be the voice of Jane.

Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :

I think Hugh Laurie should play all the roles.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

I should play Vin Diesel's love interest. There should be a racy scene.

-pH

Posted by Chreese Sroup (Member # 8248) on :

pH, you are a racy scene.

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

The real question is, would you strip for VD *snicker* if he didn't support gay marriage? [Wink]
