Ender’s Game Cast Watch #6 – Comic-Con Edition
Last week was pretty much all about Comic Con, and apart from Moises Arias and Abigail Breslin (who was sick and had to cancel only a day before she was scheduled to be on the panel) pretty much every one of the young cast was there. You have probably already seen tons of stuff, but in case you still haven’t had enough, have some more!
To start off, Cameron Gaskins (Pol Slattery) posted an awesome group pic of the minor cast hanging out together after signing autographs for an hour on Saturday.
As I said, pretty much everyone was there.
After the signing, the cast member went around a bit at Comic Con, doing their own thing. Khylin Rhambo‘s thing, it seems, is taking pictures with random cosplayers. I see Batman-girl, Iron Man, and Spidey, and is that Assassin’s Creed? I’m not much of a gamer, so you have to tell me.
Aramis Knight, on the other hand, signed more autographs while he was at it. Someone you don’t see in the group pic, but who was there at the singning as well, is Jimmy Pinchak. He took the time to visit the Ender’s Game Experience, signing up under the name of Peter Wiggin. Looks like Peter made it into battle school after all.
The rest of the cast eventually went to the Experience as well. Aramis Knight met up with Asa Butterfield to reenact the launchie shuttle experience. I kind of doubt, though, that this is what it will look like in the movie.
Speaking of Asa Butterfield, he seems to have enjoyed Comic Con to the fullest. However, in this pic, taken on their first day, he and Hailee Steinfeld seem to still be confused about what’s what at SDCC.
I’m not sure whether this was taken before or after Asa and Hailee did the Ender’s Game Experience press preview, of which you’ve probably seen loads of images. Maybe you’ve even seen that awesome vid in which they walk through the sets, and in which Asa delivers his by now Tumblr-famous line “like a banana.” Wednesday night, he, Hailee and a few others attended a party organized by Summit. Here’s proof:
Yeah, selfies are never quite what you expect them to be. At least they had fun before they had to get back to Hall H-paneling, Interview-giving, photoshoot-posing and all those other tedious things that I’m sure are a big hassle.
After a few days of hard work, Asa got to spend his last day at Comic Con undercover, finally being allowed to release his inner nerd and hang out with the REALLY cool people.

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.

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.
