Fans of Orson Scott Card’s 1985 classic Ender’s Game may be pleased to hear that the novel is being prepared for transition to film. Young Ender Wiggin arrives at Battle School and quickly rises to the top of the military academy which is desperately searching for a leader to ward off the alien formics, an antlike race threatening the world’s existence. Ender has to contend with harsh internal politics that make life at the average boarding school look like a picnic. Reports are that top stars are accepting key roles in the movie, to be released in March 2013. See EPL‘s extensive collection of Card’s novels, some of which feature detailed reviews and other information.
