io9 has an exclusive behind-the-scenes video from the Ender’s Game Blu-ray featurette “Ender’s World: The Making of Ender’s Game” that shows a little bit about how they went about creating the Formics for the film.
Ender’s Game will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 11, 2014.

I really appreciate the comment in the video about making the Formics and their architecture beautiful to convey visually that there is more to this race than just seemingly mindless warrior bugs. So often insectoid aliens in movies are just nightmare fodder, but the Formic designs in the Ender’s Game movie have a nobility to them that helps the viewer recognize them as an intelligent culture with a long history.
Thank you for the article.
