Gavin Hood’s Ender’s Game looks like it’s going to be a really cool movie!
The first full trailer has been released, and while I must confess I’ve never read the books, this looks visually stunning!
“In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.
Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.”
The movie stars Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Moises Arias, Khylin Rhambo, Viola Davis, and Nonso Anozie.
Ender’s Game hits theaters on November 1st, 2013.
Along with the trailer, we’ve included a Google+ Hangout with star Asa Butterfield (who plays Ender), director Gavin Hood, producer Bob Orci and some fans.
Enjoy the trailer and let us know what you think?
