I'm probably the youngest person on this board who cares about politics. Wink
My current stance: Liberitarian, in support of shrinking government, and the overhype of global warming.

If you were to make the book into the movie, if you were the director, how would you do it? I am curious....

I put the laughter in manslaughter.

They did that with Shrek. It's too deep a plot for children under 12 or so, but if there's enough action in it they might be able to market it to the younger audience.

RE: Ender's Game Becomes a Movie?
I've never read Ender's Game, but Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite political commentators.

http://ornery.org/essays/warwatch/index.html

He has the oddest political views I have ever seen. He's an economic liberal, and as such, a Democrat, but he's an extreme social conservative. He also doesn't believe in global warming. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but he always gives an intelligent perspective on the issues he writes about.

Ok, this topic is a lack of knowledge.

First off, go get your hands on a copy of the 10th anniversary edition of the audiobook on CD.

Now go listen to the authors note on the last disk. It's mostly about his troubles getting the book into a movie form.

Specifically that he's pulled the rug out from under the project a number of times because they tried to take control of it from him. That he insists on ender being the right age, and that if the movie isn't nearly perfect, he'll do it again, even if it's a few days from release when he finds out how they messed it up.

As for the rest of it


well worth a trip to the library, or anywhere you have to go to borrow a set.

*bows to nightwind's superior knowledge*
So basically, the movie won't be all that screwed up. Cool.

Hopefully, it'll be made in the to kill a mockingbird movie-style-way to copy a book...

RE: Ender's Game Becomes a Movie?
go get the books (on cd) and listen to him talk about how long, how often, and how hard it was to get it through that he didn't want ADULTS playing Children...

I'm sure the movie will be ok, letting them mess it up after that much work, he'd have to be crazy, or dead.
