Orson Scott Card
SailorPunk:
I LOVED Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. I just read them this past year under recommendation from a friend and now I have been recommending them to everyone I know (who likes that type of book).
Did anyone else cry happy tears at the end of Ender's Shadow or was it just weird weird me?
Narr:
--- Quote from: casull ---Heh, there's no way an ender movie can work. Too much stuff going on, but more importantly, too long a time-span. The book spans age 5-12 or so, eh? I think the feel will change a LOT if ender is just ambiguously 10ish throughout.
Also, there's not an popsicle's chance in hell that they'll make bean small enough. Or, or...
It won't work. What's new?
--- End quote ---
I'm pretty sure a movie is ALREADY in the works.
And I've read the short story that was Ender's Game before it was expanded into a full size novel. It's only about 20 pages long, maybe, and spans about the year before he ends up destroying the world of the enemy. They could do the movie off that, no problem.
Actually, I've JUST read the short story and haven't got around to the novel yet.
The Cosmic Fool:
Bah. If they cut out any of the Peter political story for that movie, I won't even bother watching it. You can't have Ender's Game without Peter.
SailorPunk:
I have to agree there. He was such a huge part of WHY stuff happened like it did.
Ferahgo the Assassin:
Orson Scott Card is probably my favorite author (though Doug Adams and a few others are up there). I love the Ender's Game series, and own the entire thing - all what, eight books? It's an amazing series. I've read some of his other stuff too (though not all) and I'd have to say that The Worthing Saga is, in my opinion, his singularly best novel ever.
Peter is probably my favorite character from the entire series. He is brilliant, totally insane, and exhibits more character growth than nearly anyone else (though Card is a master of excellent characterization/character growth in general). If they make a movie that omits Peter - well, I won't refuse to see it, but I'll certainly bitch about it a lot.
