If they take the film to a different studio or do it independently they are going to have to buy the other two scripts to avoid lawsuits, which is a real shame because he said they where garbage (he didn't read the scripts, but talked to people who did).<BR/><BR/>He talked about finding the right director for the film because there are going to be tons of child actors and you need a good director to coax the right performance out of them. As a side note he said that rarely do we get more than one good child performances per movie these days because of the amount of time you have to spend with them, and there's only one director (can't remember which) that he said recently had all but one child actor in his film give a good performance.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, he's still looking for great people to work on the film so that it won't get messed up. He assured us that even if the Ender's Game movie is terrible, because you can't control it after a certain point, Ender's Game is still a book.<BR/><BR/>They haven't started production yet, and it'll take them about 18 months to do it will all of the post production (he did say that the whole thing would likely be filmed in front of a green screen, as digital sets are so much cheaper). So I don't think that it'll be done by next year.<BR/><BR/>He said, and kept on repeating, that nothing is set in stone right now. But he seems to be actively perusing it. Unless a miracle happens and someone comes up with that 75 million in the next month, I'd expect to see the movie come out in the last quarter of 2009 or later. I'm optimistic because he said there are a lot of people that want to work on the film, so I think it will happen.Glen Moyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396403114040415608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240509832654584711.post-3252349609886110702007-11-16T13:34:00.000-07:002007-11-16T13:34:00.000-07:00great blog. i enjoy listening to Card when he spea...great blog. i enjoy listening to Card when he speaks. He's quite entertaining. I was just wondering if you could expound a little bit on what he said about the progress of the Ender's Game movie. A little over a year ago I heard him speak at a book signing at a Boarders, and he said it looked like it would be done by the summer of 2008. Is that still the case? Do they finally have a script?<BR/>Thanks again for the great blog!mark bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697683983623163584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240509832654584711.post-62648828847374339962007-11-16T13:16:00.000-07:002007-11-16T13:16:00.000-07:00I do have the audio recording of the 1 hour talk h...I do have the audio recording of the 1 hour talk he gave. I recorded it off the radio broadcast so the quality is good.
