‘Ender’s Game’ movie to go the way of ‘John Carter,’ ‘The Golden Compass’? (Photo: Ben Kingsley and Asa Butterfield in ‘Ender’s Game’) Directed by Gavin Hood and starring Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford, Ender’s Game is going the way of Andrew Stanton’s John Carter and Chris Weitz’s The Golden Compass at the domestic box office. After opening with a disappointing $27.01 million last weekend (including Thursday evening shows), the $110 million-budgeted was down a whopping 62% this past weekend, November 8-10, 2013, collecting a paltry $10.25 million from 3,407 theaters (no reduction in number of venues) according to box office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. One can blame Alan Taylor’s Thor: The Dark World, but the action fantasy starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Tom Hiddleston wasn’t the sole culprit. After all, Ender’s Game was already trailing both Last Vegas and Bad Grandpa last Thursday. After two weekends,...

‘Ender’s Game’ movie box office: Adaptation of sci-fi novel by controversial anti-gay author Orson Scott Card tops (modest) domestic box office chart — but will that be enough to spawn a film franchise? (Photo: Asa Butterfield in ‘Ender’s Game’) Written and directed by Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Best Foreign Language Film Oscar winner Tsotsi), and featuring Asa Butterfield (the star in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo), Best Actor Oscar nominee Harrison Ford (Witness), Best Actor Oscar winner Ben Kingsley (Gandhi), two-time Oscar nominee Viola Davis (Doubt, The Help), and Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominees Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), the futuristic adventure drama Ender’s Game will easily top the North American box office chart this weekend, November 1-3, 2013.

‘Ender’s Game’ movie review: Sci-fier displays ‘steel-grey self-seriousness,’ but fails to explore ‘disturbing brutality’ at its core (photo: Asa Butterfield and Abigail Breslin in ‘Ender’s Game’) Orson Scott Card’s sci-fi novel Ender’s Game was published in 1985, and in the 28 years that elapsed before the book became a film, the idea of children trained to fight by orders of an unfeeling government has been repeatedly co-opted, most notably by a certain tale of a beautiful young archer named Katniss. Indeed, comparisons between Ender’s Game and The Hunger Games are inevitable, but the key similarity between the two is that neither film really explores or, in the case of The Hunger Games, even acknowledges the disturbing brutality that lies at the core of their intricately-constructed worlds. To its credit, Ender’s Game, under the clean, straightforward direction of Gavin Hood (one of the X-Men movies, it’s...

Michael O'Sullivan of the Washington Post, gave it a 75 score,saying, "Ender’s Game is more than a parable about bullying, or a disquisition on the concept of the “just war.

Here's our first look at Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rackham in the Gavin Hood-directed adaptation of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Rackham trains Ender in the movie. The image was released in anticipation of the first trailer for the movie which is set to be released on May 7th. Here's what Kingsley had to say about the character in an interview with EW,
In the script, which I think is beautifully written, what come across is the authority and mystery. There’s quite a lot said about him in the story before you see him — by the recruits and by his fellow officers — and that’s useful as far as preparations.
He goes on to talk about the tattoo on his face saying,
Every gesture in the tattoo carries family history, family struggles – it’s your past. I was so enthralled. He’s in quite a contained, stylized...

Movie composer James Horner will be scoring the upcoming Gavin Hood-directed adaptation of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Horner has created scores for films such as Braveheart, Titanic, Avatar, Troy, and several other films. The guy is great at what he does, and I love listening to the movie musical scores he creates. I'm sure he'll come up with some great music for Ender's Game.
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer.

We finally have our first official photo from the long awaited big screen adaptation of Orson Scott Card's Ender's game! It features Harrison Ford as Colonel Graff and Asa Butterfield as Ender facing off. The photo features some of the other new Battle School recruits known as "Launchies". In this scene Graff is confronting Ender on whether his emails to home are being blocked.
The movie is being directed by X-Men Origins: Wolverine director Gavin Hood who talks about the relationship between Ford and Butterfield saying,
The relationship between [Harrison] and Asa was very close, but he didn’t overly befriend him off the set. He helped Asa by allowing that slight sense of intimidation to be there. The kids have to attend school for at least three hours of class every day, plus do homework, so you can only shoot with someone like Asa for five hours of your day.

Hey, this doesn’t look so bad at all! We have an exclusive first look at Colonel Hyrum Graff and Ender Wiggin in Summit Entertainment’s adaptation of Ender’s Game novel! Or, if you prefer – we finally have a chance to see young Asa Butterfield and his mentor Harrison Ford in the movie which comes from director Gavin Hood, and is already set to open next November! Check out the rest of this report to take a better look at the pic!
So, as we previously reported, Hood’s movie is an adaptation of Orson Scott Card‘s novel of the same name which centers on an unusually gifted child sent to an advanced military school in space to prepare for a future alien invasion.
Well, one thing is for sure – when your mentor is Harrison Ford, you have nothing to worry about. At least on a big screen.

Lionsgate has confirmed that the Gavin Hood directed adaptation of Orsen Scott Card's classic sci-fi story Ender's Game will be getting an IMAX release. I wouldn't expect anything less, at least parts of the movie should have been shot in IMAX.
The highly anticipated movie will be released on November 1st, 2013, making it the second IMAX release from the studio that month. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is also being released in November of that year on the 22nd, only it will include scenes actually shot with IMAX cameras.
The studio is very excited about this franchise, there's 14 books in the series, which means if this first movie does well, they have the potential to make a lot of movies. I'm very excited about this movie and I hope it turns out to be the incredible film adaptation we've all been waiting for.

Here's a news story left over from before the New Year that seems like it still might be worth posting about. Gavin Hood's adaptation of Orson Scott Card's 1985 sci-fi novel Ender's Game is slowly continuing to fill out its cast, and despite some of the early concerns about finding enough reliable young actors, it seems to be shaping up quite well. In particular, the project has just added two Oscar nominees in the form of Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit). Of course, there are also a couple of "cagey veterans" in the mix, including Harrison Ford, who is now confirmed for the role of Colonel Hyram Graff, the officer in charge of training young soldiers for the fight against the insectoid alien race known as the Formics. Check out the list of the rest of recently announced cast members after the jump. We...
