First Still from Ender's Game Movie!

I have to say...exactly as I pictured it. The Battle School at least. I know Ender in the pic is too old, but you want a good actor for live action.
Are you pumped?
Q1: Who are the other kids?
Q2: What toon is that?
A: Launchies?
---------------------------------------
As a fun add-on, this is what I said in another thread about how I would do Ender's Game:

CGI Ender's Game adaptation.

Trailer:
We see the inside of a deserted hallway that is slightly sloping upwards in the distance. Then a track running along the outsides of the floor lights up with three colors signifying a platoon. Kids come pouring out of their bunkroom and into the hall while tey finish putting their team unis on. There we see Ender, a Launchie, getting pushed around and eventually falling in in the back of the line. At the Battleroom His 'toon leader tells him to stay out until 5 minutes into the battle. (music picks up) He looks at his watch, leaves the gate at the appropriate time, and loses his footing due to lack of gravity. He quickly grabs a railing beneath the door. Next we close in tight on him and we see him slowly adjust himself and turn around to face the camera We see his eyes go wide. We then see a panoramic shot of a battle that is taking place in the wide open space. (crescendo)
ENDER'S GAME pounds onto the screen.

Q1: Who are the other kids?
quote:Wrong question. Toons are the subgroups within the army. I'm guessing this is his launch group.
Q2: What toon is that?
Not sure though. Its a new scene since there isn't a moment in the book where Graff confronts Ender in the barracks. The only "adult" who enters the launchies' barracks is Dap.
I'm very excited about this movie since it is probably my favorite book. I'm also very worried because they could very easily screw it up.
The kids being older doesn't bother me. You can't find a competent actor at 6 years old anyway.

Never read the books & don't know anything about this movie...but I get a Hunger Games vibe from that image in the OP

Agreed. I was about to bitch about Ender being too old, but oh well, I'll simply take the film rather than the book.

Card stated that "very few" of the film's scenes had appeared in the novel, but that he was comfortable with the liberties being taken with the source material. "My book was already alive in the mind of every reader. This is writer-director Gavin Hood's movie, so they were his words, and it was his scene."
