  • Gavin Hood Welcomes the Opportunity to Debate LGBT Rights

    Gavin Hood Welcomes the Opportunity to Debate LGBT Rights

    War-Child-SFX

     

    Ender’s Game director Gavin Hood has not been shy in voicing his disappointment in Orson Scott Card’s controversial views on gay marriage and continued to speak out on the issue when talking with SFX Magazine a few weeks ago.

    “I said this is going to be a debate, and debate is good. The truth is that if we hadn’t made the movie we wouldn’t be having this discussion, and in some ways, in a twisted way I actually welcome the opportunity to express my views which appear to be the polar opposite to his. But the movie is not about the crazy things that Orson is saying. It’s about the nature of man in terms of his capacity for violence and compassion, and questioning this merging of game and reality in drone warfare. All of those themes for me remain extremely powerful despite the views on gay marriage that Orson has, with which I strongly disagree.”

    This article can be found online at SFX.com and the above image is a preview of their full article on Ender’s Game that appears in SFX issue #240 (look for Thor on the cover!)

    Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci in September Issue of Elle

    Producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci spoke with Elle magazine for the September issue and talked Star Trek and Ender’s Game.

    Another of your upcoming films is the Ender’s Game adaptation, which hits theaters in November. What drew you to this project? 

    RO: I read that book as a child. The same uncle who got me into Star Trek actually got me to read that book. I just thought it was fascinating that you could have young protagonists in a very adult-themed book, dealing with real issues like war, peace and leaving your family. It didn’t talk down to anybody, and both children and adults liked it. At the time I read it, it seemed unfilmable, but today we finally live in an age where the technology is available to do it. All the pieces came together and it was something we just couldn’t pass up.

    I have to admit I’m a little confused by the photo and the magazine credit, since it’s clearly from an Asian magazine, but still love the photo of the two of them!

    The UK Ender’s Game site has launched the “Battle School Command Core” which features two games with more to come in the near future.

    The two games available are “Target Shoot” and “Pairs” (shown above). The site is a bit laggy, but the games are pretty cool. I love the matching one! Games to come include “Code Break”, “Sequence”, “Blocks”, and “Corridor Sprint”.
