Hailee Steinfeld to be Named ‘Female Star of Tomorrow’ at CinemaCon
CinemaCon has previously announced that they would be bestowing awards upon Harrison Ford (Lifetime Achievement) and Asa Butterfield (Rising Star of 2013) and today it’s been announced that yet another Ender’s Game star will be receiving an award at the convention in April.
Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Petra Arkanian, will receive an award for 2013 Female Star of Tomorrow.
“Having already garnered an Oscar® nomination, not to mention international acclaim for her big screen debut in ‘True Grit,’ Hailee Steinfeld will continue to show audiences this coming year just how amazing a young actress she is with five new films set to hit theaters,” noted Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser. “Can you imagine working opposite Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin in your very first film and under the direction of Joel and Ethan Coen no less? We cannot think of a more exemplary young actress to be named this year’s ‘CinemaCon Female Star of Tomorrow.’”
The award will be given during the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards on Thursday, April 18 at Caesar’s Palace.
With three cast members receiving awards, it’s starting to sound like the Lionsgate product presentation (to feature several unnamed special guests) may be a great panel for any Ender’s Game fans in attendance.

Abigail Breslin: “I love Valentine!”
Actress Abigail Breslin, whose new movie The Call is out in theaters this weekend, spoke to Collider about her career transitioning and spoke briefly about Ender’s Game. (Skip to 2:51 for the Ender’s Game part)
You have a number of projects coming out, I mean, Ender’s Game. Is it difficult to play a character that’s pre-existing from such a beloved book?
You know, it’s one of those things where you just have to do your best in how you see the character and hopefully people like it and I love Valentine. I love that character. And it was awesome when I was filming, I actually… I went to a guitar store in New Orleans and the people that worked there they were like, “Oh my God, you’re playing Valentine Wiggin, that’s like one of my favorite characters of all time!” and so a lot of people have been really really nice about it and very supportive so I’ve been lucky that they’ve all seemed really cool about it.

PHOTOS: Abigail Breslin Attends Premiere for ‘The Call’
As we get closer to Ender’s Game and more people hear about the movie, it wouldn’t surprise me if people see Abigail Breslin’s name and immediately picture a Valentine the same age as Breslin’s character in Little Miss Sunshine, the role that got her a Best Supporting Actress nomination in the 2007 Academy Awards. After all, that’s basically the age we all imagined Valentine being in the books.
However, Abigail Breslin is about to turn 17, so fans will not only have to “cope” with an older Ender, but an older Valentine as well! Here are some photos of Abigail attending the premiere for her new movie The Call starring Halle Berry yesterday, March 5, 2013.
