Fans of the Ender’s game novel, of which I am an unashamed
member, have another piece of casting news to smile about. The filmmakers are
certainly setting the bar high as they attempt to gather a cast of children that
would rival many high class adult casts. Oscar nominated Steinfeld is talks to
play the character of Petra Arkanian; a child genius extremely gifted in
military strategy and free thinking strategy. The only female member of Ender’s
handpicked group of children, tasked with surviving a rigorous training schedule
designed to find, and teach, the latent “Alexander The Greats” amongst the
Earth’s children. Variety also believe that Harrison Ford is the prime
candidate for one of the few adult roles in the film, Colonel Graff.
Ender’s Game: Lead role offered to ‘Hugo’ star Asa Butterfield...
The film is being directed by Gavin Hood, who has also
written the screenplay. It is based on the award winning, highly popular,
Orscon Scott Card novel ‘Ender’s Game’; which has spawned several sequels
spin-off and has even been adapted by Marvel Comics into a series of comics /
graphic novels. U.S release is set for the 15th of March 2013; U.K 29th of March 2013.
