Ender's Game - Arioch - 08-07-2013
Please tell me I am not the only one who has read the book many times and is ****ing joy-puking in response that they are finally making it into a movie...
Enjoy the eye-gasm:

Yeah, I agree. Though, having read some of the words from director, OSC himself, Asa, etc who all are proud/hopeful, I am allowing myself some hope/excitement.
Granted, a lot of the book is extremely hard/near impossible to translate onto film, so I take it as a adaptation, not a direct translation.

I think my problem with the trailers is that, if I'm not mistaken, we end up seeing the final battle in them. (Hey, if you've read the book and seen the trailers, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.) That's not how the book ends, of course, but still ...
At the same time, seeing a movie based upon something I read when I was still in high school (I had the short story first, as opposed to the novel, which came out 8 years later) is pretty cool.

It looks good but I differ ideologically enough from Card that I am unsure whether to see it in theaters or just wait for it to be on the Pirate Bay.
The book's ripe with conspiracies too. Like how it's supposedly ghostwritten by a committee of the Mormon church for propaganda purposes, or how it's an apologia for Hitler. Here's a really convincing argument for both of those.

Awesome books
RE: Ender's Game - Slartibartfast - 08-08-2013
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what they do with it... I have read it a while back, but as far as I remember, there's a cluster-**** of information at the end of the book, which, with the slower pacing of most of the book might be tricky to translate into a film.
