    VIDEO: New Ender’s Game clip from Wetten Dass …?

    As we reported earlier today, Harrison Ford was a guest on German TV show Wetten Dass …? (“Bet you that …”) Host Marcus Lanz interviewed him on Ender’s Game, and they showed some awesome, beautiful, mind-boggling new footage! Check out the clip below!

    Translation:

    Graff: The first alien attack found us unprepared. Millions of innocents lost their lives. That can never be allowed to happen again. We fought the enemy with everything we had and in the middle of the final battle a legendary hero emerged. The courage of Mazer Rackham should be an inspiration to all of you. We need minds like yours, Ender. Young people process complex data much easier than adults.
    Ender: So I’m not the first?
    Mazer: No, but you will be the last.
    Petra or Ender: In 3 – 2 – 1.
    Graff: And you will be the best commander we ever trained.

    And we finally get to see the images that go with some of the score we posted about a couple of days ago. This explains why the “Battle Room” track is so light-hearted. Look how happy Ender is!

    Hope you enjoy! We’ll post a vid of the interview that goes with this clip tomorrow! — Dee

    Ender Today: Third

    With word of a film adaptation of Ender’s Game becoming news once again, I thought it might be a good time to not only start up a fan-site, but do some chapter reviews of what I used to called my favorite book in the 6th grade. I bought the Kindle edition of the book and since it started at the Introduction written by Orson Scott Card in 1991, I decided to read it.

    I’ve had the paperback for years now, but the last time I read the novel was at least six or more years ago. In the three or four times I’ve read the book since middle school, I’ve never once read the entire introduction, taking Mr. Card’s own advice and flat out skipping it. Although it wasn’t absolutely fantastic and wondrous, I did find one bit very interesting:

    The novel set me, not to dreaming, but to thinking, which is Asimov’s most extraordinary ability as a fiction writer. What would the future be like? How would things change? What would remain the same?

    This book was written over 25 years ago and back then, I thought it was amazingly futuristic and sophisticated. So now that I’m reading this book 21 years after my first time through, I have to wonder what will have changed in Ender’s world for me. Surely I’ll have a better grasp of Card’s technology descriptions? I should be able to see any dated areas, right?
