Write a synopsis of the film version of Ender's Game as directed by some other director. Include actors, producers, etc. Can be parody or praise. Put the synopsis in [quotes].
EG:
quote: Ender's Game, Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Bruce Willis stars as Colonol Hyrum Graff, with Christoph Waltz as the legendary fleet hero Admiral Mazer Rackhem. Samuel L. Jackson cameos as Earth Strategos Shamrajnegar. Harvey Keitel also makes an appearance. In the year 2250, the human race searches for a child who will end the war against the Buggers. Violently dispatching rivals at battle school in blood spurting bathroom combat, Ender, played by Assa Butterfield, vowes vengeance upon the bugger race for killing his mother, played in flashbacks by Uma Thurman. In the ultimate showdown between humanity and the buggers, Ender must dispatch Stilson, played by a CGI'd young John Travolta, before he can foil the human's plan to dispatch the alien threat.

It needs more Michael Madsen. Maybe he could be a CGI'ed younger Bonzo.
I wonder what a David Lynch Ender would look like? Posted by Elison R. Salazar (Member # 8565) on :
Tarentino I imagine would actually make a decent director; it'ld be a different genre to work with but I think he has the skill.

We're killing the game, but no he really doesn't. Tarantino doesn't know how to write characters who are good inside. All of them are two steps from committing a felony.

As directed by Wes Anderson:
quote:Jason Schwartzman stars as Ender Wiggin, former child prodigy and military hero, now an idle thirtysomething living in a crumbling Formic castle. Ender spends his days in the company of a dusty cocoon and arguing with his imaginary friend Jane, and having run ins with the family and itinerants who occupy the castle. Owen Wilson is Bean, who can't stop growing taller but isn't as smart as he thinks he is. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Ender's kind but distant older sister Valentine with an obsession for rowing. Ben Stiller cameos as the outraged and sarcastic ghost of Stilson. An oddball romp through alien landscapes and bottomless ennui, this is sure to be another quiet hit for Anderson's fans.

That sounds like it could also be Tim Burton.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
No. In Burton's version, Valentine would be played by Helena Bonham-Carter. Ender, played by Johnny Depp, would be a dark-eyed psychopath who dreams of mass-murder and, working with his sister, comes up with a socially-acceptable way to kill billions. His brother Peter would play football.

The trailer would have lots of beige, so you'd be able to tell the difference.

Kevin Smith directing, Ben Affleck as Hyrum Graff who now has a crying scene. Micheal Parks as Mazer, who spends a lot more time in monologues. All the Buggers would mysteriously resemble Bruce Willis. More fart jokes than the book had. A dachshund would be hidden in the cgi of the giant's corpse.
And the reason it would makes sense? In a movie you can't go through all the inner monologing and psychology of why a character is doing what they are doing, and the story is way more about the psychology than any action scenes. So Kevin Smith presents a movie where smart kids in space sit around talking about some heady topics and then make a joke about farting in a jar.
He just wrapped making a movie about Justin Long being drugged and sewn into a walrus costume. He could kill Ender's Game.

just have Steven Soderbergh direct Ender's Eleven

Hayao Miyazaki would make it all about Ender's effort to save the last hive queen and restore her race. John Lasseter would do the English voiceover with Billy Crudup as Ender, Claire Danes as Valentine, Minnie Driver as Petra and John Ratzenberger as a comedic character.

So, you're saying Miyazaki would make Speaker for the Dead? Posted by Geraine (Member # 9913) on :

Goodness, I never realized the potential a Hayao Miyazaki Ender's Game film would have....
Though to be honest, I'd rather have a 26 episode anime directed by Keiko Nobumoto. He wrote Wolf's Rain. I watched it 10 years ago and I still think about the story (and soundtrack). It was one of the most emotional and well written series I've ever watched. Even my wife, an anime hater, cried through the entire last episode.
