From Variety, so use your salt pinchers. Still, I'd like to see Ford in a film other than Indiana Jones where he's not just out to save his family from *random bad guy here*.




The Jedi Master

I've never heard of the book but the premise seems interesting. Enough in fact for me to see it in the theatre. I guess we'll see what happens!

They will never find enough good child actors to make this work and if you up the age then you loose the entire meaning of the book.

Hes gonna have to wear a fat suit.

How come? He's not playing the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen!

If you like reading science fiction that is done well (ie. the science provides an interesting setting for the more interesting part, which is the human relationships/actions/reactions), then Ender's Game, and the books that follow it in the series are definitely worth your time.

I hope the movie does it justice!

+1

Beside this, there is so much violence between kids, that they will dumb it down for sure. It may sound weird, but I'd love to see Ender's Game as a Japanese Anime. That would work.

I'm not a big fan of Orson Scott Card, but Ender series (well, at least two first books) are one of my favorites.

Ok, who are you and what have you done with PanzerMeyer?

Like many stories, the children's ages I'm sure will be upped to find actors capable of doing this. After all, there aren't many genetically-engineered pre-teen genius actors out there.

The other solution is to make it animated and use older children actors as the voice talent for younger-appearing kids.

I like the talk of Elle Fanning playing his sister, though.




The Jedi Master

Yeah, she was great in Super 8 and I was impressed with her performance.
