In their final stop in the Ender’s Game Europe tour the cast touch down in London to attend the Ender’s Game panel at the MCM London Comic-Con.
In the last photocall destination, they looked amazing as they posed for pictures and discussed Ender’s Game and more with fans in attendance.

In hopes of saving some time with my daily chores, I’ll just be posting these interviews from the cast at MCM London Comic-Con.
With other Sci-Fi works in his pocket producer Roberto Orci took the challenge to create Ender’s Game into a motion picture after even Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game, called the novel “unfilmable”.
“I heard various pitches of the movie over the years that totally changed the ending and made it like ‘Star Wars’ in a sense, like totally like ‘and then they go and they blow up the Death Star,’ essentially. Completely changed what the intent of the book was,” Orci tells Zap2it. “We just thought audiences have seen everything nowadays. They’ve seen all the big spectacle, now they can handle this movie now, and it’s still spectacle but it’s still a young protagonist in an adult situation dealing with war and peace and tolerance and all kinds of other things.”
He goes on to talk about rights to possible sequels to Ender’s Game and the parallel story Ender’s Shadow.

Wow during the buzz of Comic-Con 2013 I totally forgot to post Josh Horowitz’s interview with Harrison Ford, Colonel Hyrum Graff and producer Bob Orci. They had great laughs and it’s hilarious (at the same time nerve racking because I knew half of the answers) watching Harrison Ford and Bob Orci answering the trivia questions at the end.
Here’s a video on their discussion of Star Wars

Last night was the preview night for the Ender’s Game Fan Experience. Before the event took place we started seeing some amazing pictures of the tent being built and Ender’s Game making it’s appearance visible. While last night also many media outlets and the fansites did press conference with some of the cast, they also had the chance to enter the journey of battle school.

Speakeasy, The Wall Street Journal blog, recently spoke to the Sci-Fi duo ALex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci about their recent and upcoming films (Star Trek: Into Darkness, Ender’s Game, Now You See Me and more). The interview is broken into 2 parts but in the second posting is where they go into the Ender’s Game talk.
Alike, all of the Ender’s Game crew and we heard a little about it in the Google+ hangout, Kurtzman and Orci both have read the Ender’s Game books a long time ago and have been fans ever since.
Trying to get into Ender’s head Speakeasy got the producers to talk about the dramatization of the books internal narration.
The answer is both through having some of those internal struggles be dramatically shown as scenes, and second, we have an advantage that the book does not have, and that is actors. We have great actors who can not only say things, but play things and play reactions on their faces and actually convey a lot of the emotion of the book.
It’s great to read more of the process of bringing Ender’s Game to life. Just more excitement for us fans. You can read the whole article here (part 1, part 2)
