As long as they don't ruin it like many movie remakes (Battlefield Earth, anyone?), it should hopefully be good. I myself never had the chance of reading the original book, because no store in Quebec sells it at all and back when I still read on a regular basis I couldn't buy anything online.

Someone on MaxCoderz and later Omni was working on a turn-based strategy game based on Ender's Game, but he disappeared around 2006.

I approve of their casting. I've been excited about this since they first announced it.

My thoughts exactly. It will be good unless it's bad. :P
But regardless, very exited!
Spoiler For Spoiler:
what's next, Ender's Shadow? :D

No way!  I read that book a while ago and I also read Speaker For The Dead and Xenocide.  I liked them all.  I hope the movie is good. :)

I haven't read the original novel(s), but I heard about the movie a while back. Looks pretty cool.
Also:
Quote from: wikipedia
A film adaptation of the same name directed by Gavin Hood and starring Asa Butterfield as Ender is planned for release on November 1, 2013. Card is co-producing the film.[8]
So that's good news, right? :)

Of course it won't be as good as the book, but I can't wait to see it. I can imagine it being a great movie.

Hm... I've never heard of it until now but It seems like a book that I should read :P

It was a pretty good book IIRC.

It's been announced for a really long time, but all they have are these really short teaser clips D: I loved the books, and I thought that Ender's Shadow was a tiny bit better than Ender's Game (because of the whole perspective novelty)

I hope that they do the thing that Card talked about in the end of Ender's Shadow, where they use the different parts from both books to flesh out the background for a better movie. That would be so awesome.

And, it looks like they've picked good actors. I'm happy.

I'd love to see it like that. It would certainly make for a fuller story!

Me too. I'm actually really looking forward to this, even though it's based on a book that a lot of people have read (which usually means everyone ends up complaining about how the movie doesn't do the book justice).

Well, if it only does as poorly at it as harry potter, I will be most satisfied indeed.
