Ender’s Game Cast Watch #4

Another week of me stalking the Ender’s Game cast on the nets has come to a close. Let’s see what the kids have been up to.

Asa Butterfield has been all kinds of busy. Let’s start with the picture that finally made him Instagram-famous (and I wonder why):

Looks like that was the last day in Greece, before he had to return to London for his Prom!

Also, in preparation of his appearance at the Ender’s Game panel on Thursday, July 18, Asa went shopping at Carnaby Street, London. Will he wow you all with his fashion sense?

Personally, I’m slightly flashed by the pattern mix. But I’m sure that’s just me.

Speaking of Comic Con, Aramis Knight has confirmed that he will be signing autographs! He even gave a tentative date! Watch out for him on Saturday at the Summit booth! After Jimmy Pinchak, Aramis is the second non-panelist announcing that he is going to SDCC, but Khylin Rhambo, Brandon Soo Hoo, Conor Carroll and Caleb Thaggard are rumored to be there as well. While the kids are getting excited for the big event, Harrison Ford seems to have the time and leisure for a trip to Peru.

Hailee Steinfeld has been caught up in other projects. Nevertheless she had the time to tweet about her new magazine cover as well as an interview she did about her upcoming film Romeo and Juliet. Watch it below!

Moises Arias has a new film … or rather, a video. He appears in his friend Willow Smith’s new music video “Summer Fling”.

Finally, Suraj Partha seems to have a little less time for fun stuff this summer, as he is studying for his SAT! I’m sure he will ace it, though, just like he just aced his AP EURO class (according to his facebook). He did, however, have the time to post a video of himself singing and playing the piano in Paris. So romantic!

Comic Con 2013 Thursday Schedule Released

Comic Con International has begun rolling out their schedule and today they released the schedule for Thursday. Ender’s Game is slotted for 3:50 PM in Hall H along with Summit’s YA title Divergent.

With the two films sharing a one hour slot, that doesn’t seem to leave a whole lot of time for Ender’s Game, a half an hour at most. Hopefully they pack in as much as they can!

Stars Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, and Abigail Breslin will be there along with producer Bob Orci and director Gavin Hood.

Behind the Scenes Photo from ‘Ender’s Game’ in Empire Magazine

Thanks to a photo by @charloteburows, we can see that Empire magazine has a cool behind the scenes photo of Asa Butterfield as Ender (right in white), Suraj Partha as Alai (center), and director Gavin Hood (left).

The article was released online in May with an exclusive photo of Graff watching Ender in the Battle Room.

We’ll try to get a better look at the image soon!

VIDEO: Moises Arias on Ender’s Game

In their interview with Moises Arias at the Despicable Me 2 premiere, DesdeHollywood asked Moises about his experience filming Ender’s Game. Here is what he had to say:

Reporter: How was it to work on Ender’s Game with Harrison Ford, a movie that will catapult you into stardom in the entire world?

Moises: Ahm, I hope that people will really see the variety of roles that I’m doing, and that they’ll start to see the different kinds of acting that I can do. I liked it a lot, and Ender’s Game gave me a big opportunity – to be an antagonist. Kings of Summer is a comedy and Ender’s Game is solely drama. There is a very big chance that if people like it it will be one of the biggest things in my career.

Many thanks to Fernanda (@franiahs on Twitter) for the translation!

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #3

I’m a bit late this week, but to be fair, there wasn’t that much to report about our young cast as far as social media announcements go – up until today, that is. Let’s have the good news first: Brandon Soo Hoo graduated High School. Congratulations, Brandon!

Also, Jimmy “Jax” Pinchak announced today via twitter that he will be joining castmates Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford at Comic Con.

Meanwhile, Abigail Breslin – again breaking the record for most tweets per day – has been alternating sleeping on the couch (due to a bugger infestation of her room, no less) and celebrating half-Christmas with glittery wintery images on Instagram, while Asa Butterfield has been relaxing with his family in beautiful, sunny Greece.

Aramis Knight, on the other hand, has made an effort to make the world a better place in this years annual “One Child At A Time Celebrity Basketball Game” on June 23. For him, and I’m sure for many of the spectators, it was a dream come true.

Finally, Khylin Rhambo has announced that he is changing his name. Personally, I welcome the change, as I’m never quite sure if I’m spelling “Rhambo” correctly.

– Anderson

VIDEO: ‘The Call’ Stars on Abigail Breslin

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, Halle Berry, Michael Eklund, and Michael Imperiou talk about working with Abigail Breslin on The Call. While Berry seems very impressed with her preparedness and professionalism, Eklund and Imperiou praise her ability to access and express her emotions. This bodes well for everyone’s favorite lake scene in Ender’s Game, which, as book readers will know, hinges on the emotional connection between Valentine and Ender.

The Call is out on DVD and Blu-ray today.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #2

As usual, the young Ender’s Game cast has been really active on Twitter this week, with Abigail Breslin taking home the “Most Obsessive Tweeter” award with 33 original tweets since Monday.

Moises Arias has been busy promoting his new film The Kings of Summer, which was released this week. He attended a Q & A at the Landmark Theater in LA on Wednesday. Check out Twitter user Devan Abharis photograph of the event (as retweeted by Moises himself).

Moises also spoke to Papermag about The Kings of Summer. He briefly mentions Ender’s Game, saying:

It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. It was inspiring to see the professionalism. The cinematography! The special effects look amazing. I’m excited. I’ve gotten to work with the most amazing actors and the most amazing child actors right now.

Hailee Steinfeld has been spending her time filming the Civil War drama The Keeping Room (with Sam Worthington) and photographing cows in Romania.

Asa Butterfield has finished school and has left London for warmer pastures as well, spending his summer vacation in Greece.

Suraj Partha is still travelling the world. After France and England, he is rounding off his trip with a visit to Disneyland.

VIDEO: Kyle Clements in Indiegogo Film Campaign

Kyle Clements, who plays Young Mazer Rackham in Ender’s Game, can be seen in this video campaign to raise post-production funds for his film ‘Silo’.

Silo is a project we’ve been working on for almost two years. The concept derived from our fascination with the power of the human mind, and how patterns of thought can shape our reality.

Silo is a story woven in both the past and present, about the relationship of James and Melissa, and how just as easily two people can come together, they can be pulled apart. It’s a story about holding on, letting go, and how the pressures of the world and our own mind can shape our lives…if we let them.

If you’d like to contribute to their film, visit their page at Indiegogo.

See Harrison Ford in the Poster for ‘Paranoia’

The poster for Harrison Ford’s new movie Paranoia has been released. The film, which also stars Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth, will be released on August 16, 2013.

In this high-stakes thriller, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth) is an ambitious junior technologist trying to climb the ranks of telecom giant Wyatt Corporation. But after one costly mistake, Adam is blackmailed by ruthless CEO Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman) to turn corporate spy by going to work for the firm’s top competitor, which is run by Wyatt’s old mentor, Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford). Adam soon finds himself delivered into prepackaged success, living his fantasy life of old-world boardrooms, private clubs, exotic cars, and all the spoils of Manhattan bachelorhood. However, behind the scenes, he is merely a pawn in Wyatt’s power play, and must search for a way out from under his boss, who will stop at nothing, even murder, to gain a multi-billion dollar advantage.

View the trailer for the film here.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #1

Since it’s been a pretty slow couple of days, I decided to stalk the Ender’s Game cast’s twitter and facebook accounts in the hopes of turning up some interesting tidbits. And guess what, the kids have been BUSY! Well, all except Asa Butterfield, who has apparently decided to spend the next week or so in front of his computer.

He did, however, hang out with Suraj Partha only a couple of days ago, when Suraj visited London on his trip to Europe. Hailee Steinfeld, on the other hand, stayed in the States to spend some days in Hollywood being honored by Max Mara. And Moises Arias just returned from a week of roughin’ it in Cabo San Lucas.

Jimmy Pinchak was in New Jersey yesterday visiting Jenkinson’s Boardwalk. Meanwhile, Aramis Knight has been busy planning to participate in the “One Child At A Time”-Celebrity Basketball match coming up on June 23.

VIDEO: Asa on the “Amazing Fun” of ‘Ender’s Game’

In a video published just a few days ago from an interview done at last year’s Young Hollywood Awards, where Asa Butterfield received the Breakthrough Award, he talks a bit about filming Ender’s Game and what he was doing in LA at the time of the awards.

I’ve just finished filming Ender’s Game and I’m over here to do all the motion capture for that, it’s various training routines or fighting in zero g, which is amazing fun to film.

He’s also got a hilarious story about the mispronunciation of his name. Watch it in the video below!
