Movie Update - March 14, 2005
Benioff and Weiss to Write Ender's Game Script

David Benioff, the writer of the screenplay for Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 epic Troy, has been signed by Warner Bros. to pen the script for the movie Ender's Game.

Benioff will work with his writing partner, Dan Weiss, in close cooperation with Petersen, who is developing Ender's Game with the intent of directing it himself.

The screenplay will be based on Orson Scott Card's novels Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.

Says Card, "Mr. Benioff proved with Troy that he could adapt a long work to fit the brevity of film, while preserving what is most powerful and effective in the original."

Any film of Ender's Game will be heavily dependent on special effects, says Card, "but it's the characters that the audience must care about for the film to succeed."

"I have every expectation that he and Mr. Weiss will be able to create a screenplay that will distill the strong characters and moral dilemmas of the novel into an exciting film that will justify the huge expense involved in filming it," said Card.

Benioff also adapted his own novel, 25th Hour, into a screenplay for the Spike Lee-directed 2002 film that starred Edward Norton.

 

i hope they dont **** it up

 

Impossible for them to not **** it up

 

whats this ender's game you speak of? :dunno:

 

awesome book. the sequels are awesome too. go pick it up.

 

i've had that book on my shelf for a few years now, still haven't read it.

 

I read it a long time ago. Pretty good book IMO, I'd be interested in seeing a movie about it

 

I don't have time to read for pleasure anymore, though I seem to find time to come here, hmmm

 

The writer/director also wrote and directed 25th Hour, which was amazing. Should be good.

 

I read Ender's Game in 9th grade English. It was awesome and a half. I hope the movie is even somewhat as good as the book.
