It's real (well, the casting is), the image is just poorly assembled by some fan.

I think they lost the whole, innocent killer thing.

*scratches head* Im not sure what to think of that trailer... I know OSC had a big hand in developing the storyline, so Id like to think it would come out ok...

*edit*

Hey there, Asa Butterfield here (Ender) Proof: http://twitter.com/asabfb/status/331884 ... 40/photo/1 I don't think there is a need to do a dedicated AMA post so I guess I can just answer some questions here. Firstly I'd like to say that if you have any fears of this film being all 'Hollywood', I can say that there is no need to be scared. The heart and soul of the story are as much a part of the film as they were in the book. Enders 'inner struggles' (yes I'm looking at you bugpoker) are still key in the film. Once again, AMA! Edit: it appears the people want me to do a proper AMA. So I will! In the morning. G'night.


Ok, thats a little bit calming

As someone who has never read any of the books, I have to say...that trailer did nothing to make me want to see the film.

Dunno why, but I'm getting a serious whiff of "Battlefield Earth" off of it. That defensive comment from Butterfield reinforces it.

For bookfans' sakes, I do hope that's not the case.

It should come as no surprise, but I've read the book. I'm not sure I want to see the movie. Also, the trailer contains the ending, so I don't know why I need to.

I know right? What happened to letting the story play out?

I dunno. Everything looks "right" yet I'm weary. It's possible that they picked the trailer to appeal to strangers (after all fans are going to go see it anyway right?) so we'll have to see if they capture the non visual elements properly or not.

I'm sadly in the position of not wanting to provide any material support to OSC in any way shape or form, so while the story looks interesting I won't be seeing it on principle alone.

The ending was kind of a surprise in the book also if I remember. It's been a long time since I read it.

Yeah, I've thought that Talya. But then it's just different principles that I'd be breaking.

I'm trying to remember, didn't he engage in anti-gay crusadery or something recently?

So...

Spoiler:
This was definitely a thing. First off, I knew without a doubt it would be a different work than the book, and that some stuff would have to get cut.

Up until the lake house, I was pretty ok with it. Last I heard, the movie was supposed to basically be a Bean/Ender buddy movie (they start to accomplish this by having Bean be in Ender's launch), but somewhere it turned into an Ender/Petra uncomfortable romantic thing. Not from Ender, but it was all coming from Petra. Ender was still majorly up in his head, but it was... uncomfortable at points.

After the lakehouse, things take a turn for the odd. 1) Ender is told that the IF is planning to invade the Formic homeworld, but not until some point in the future rather than just him going for defensive training. This kinda changes direction of the movie. He is told he'll still be using the simulator to train. Mazer's introduction misses one key piece of dialog - I will be the one programming your simulations. I will be your enemy (or something like that, I don't remember the exact quote). They just have him say - I will be your enemy, and kinda skip past the whole simulator part. 2) The place Ender will be on the simulators is a forward command base on a former Formic world. Yep, world, not Eros the Asteroid. I have a feeling they did this because a planet is a much better visual than a chunk of darkened rock, and to allow Ender to find the Formic cocoon without having to travel to a distant planet.

Other than that, I think they hit most of the major points of the book, with the possible exception of making Graff a bit more of an *** than he really is. Its not the worst book to movie translation I've seen (*glares at Eragon movie*) but its not the best.

You only know that because you read the book. Someone with out any context would have no idea. Also, you already know how it ended regardless.
