Wow, that's awesome.  Ender's Game is a very good book... well, at least it seemed like a great book to me when I read it at the age of 14...

Nearly all of the characters of note are young children. How do they expect to find enough good child actors? They couldn't even find one for Episode 1.

A wonderful book but I sense much failure in this endeavor.

Can't wait!!!!!!  This is a book that I keep lending out to people who love it so much it never gets returned :-)

Ender is played by the same actor who put in such a wonderful performance in "Hugo".  Worry not.

I found Hugo to be so boring I stopped watching it after 15 minutes.  So I hope that boring kid is less boring in Ender's Game!

I see Hailee Steinfeld is part of the cast, but I'm not sure how big of a part it is. She was outstanding in True Grit. Her bargaining scene was priceless.
