I absolutely agree with you there. I have never thought of it before but now that you mention it, I could definitely see Hoffman as an older Achilles.

quote:Originally posted by Samprimary: as for the question of who wrote Ender's Game the movie, the answer so far is: Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, credited as the Creative Producers and probably are the primary writers of the script that went into production.
(you may know Orci and Kurtzman as writers of movies such as Transformers, Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen, Cowboys and Aliens, Star Trek: Into Darkness, Eagle Eye, 2005's The Legend of Zorro)
I don't know if you consider this PR weaseling, but at Comic-Con Orci said this when asked about the challenges of adapting a book to the screen:
[The biggest challenge is] [n]ormally find the writer, but I didn’t have to write it. Gavin actually had the terrible challenge of adapting this, which was great.
There are other sources that corroborate that Gavin Hood was the writer of the script with little involvement on the writing front by Kurtzman and Orci, but I don't have time to dig them up. Hope that clears this up, though.
