In this clip from San Diego Comic Con, exclusively revealed by Yahoo Movies, Graff greets new students to battle school, introducing more of the before seen footage of the First/Second Invasion. Looks like they will indeed make the name and story of Mazer Rackham as important and ever present in the minds of the kids as it is in the books!

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 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.
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.
Check out the trailer for Paranoia, a new movie starring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, and Liam Hemsworth.
Synopsis:
The high stakes thriller Paranoia takes us deep behind the scenes of global success to a deadly world of greed and deception. The two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other. A young superstar (Liam Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth and power falls between them, and becomes trapped in the middle of the twists and turns of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage. By the time he realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much for them to let him walk away.
Paranoia hits theaters August 16, 2013.
RedCarpetNewsTV spoke with Sir Ben Kingsley last week and chatted a bit about Ender’s Game and working with Gavin Hood. Here’s a transcript as well:
Ender’s Game is a project that fans are so excited about. What can fans expect from the film adaptation of that? Of course you play a major part.
I’ve only seen some tiny clips of it, but I loved working with the director and I think it’s going to be an absolutely spectacular film. Beautiful.
Working with Asa again, an astonishing young talent. What makes him such a promising young star?
Intelligence and application and a well-brought up boy. He has a lovely mother.
Harrison Ford as well, the cast is littered with greats. What’s it like working with him?
He’s a delight, we got along really well. Yeah. Really well.
Ho, launchies! If you weren’t able to make it to the live Hangout, here’s a replay of it below!
Harrison Ford did a brief Q&A session with reporters at CinemaCon last week and talked a bit about Ender’s Game. See the video below.
Ford admitted he hadn’t read the book before he got the script, but it sounds as though he may have picked it up since wrapping the production.
Were you always a big fan of Ender’s Game?
No, I didn’t know the book before I read the script, so I really came to the project through the script.
Is it easier to approach a project through a book?
Sometimes it’s more difficult because books are books and movies are movies and they’re not always the same, the same craftsman is not always involved. I think it’s a very interesting book and the film, I think, is going to be great.
What was it about the script that you really liked? What about the Ender’s Game script stood out for you?
I just thought it was something we have not seen. I thought the story was prescient about some of the things we’re seeing in our lives right now and it was written 20 years ago, I guess. I thought it had a interesting moral question behind it, which is articulated in the film and I thought it would really be a good summer movie on top of that.
How was it working with such a young cast?
I’ve worked with young people before. I have had children of my own. I’m familiar with shorter people.

With Lionsgate closing out CinemaCon with their Product Presentation, all stars had left to do was head to the Awards Ceremony, where three of the Ender’s Game stars received awards for their work in film.
Harrison Ford received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Asa Butterfield received the Rising Star of 2013 Award.
It’s clearly telling him something disturbing!
Here’s a full gallery of images from the con so far, will update with more as they come in.

Jimmy Kimmel live has released video of Harrison Ford’s recent guest appearance on the show. Ford is doing the rounds for his new movie ’42’, but things went awry when an unexpected audience member began confronting Ford in a language only he seemed to understand.
Watch the video below for the hilarity that ensued! You don’t want to miss it!
CinemaCon is in full swing in Las Vegas and Variety spoke to the various actors receiving special recognition at the convention going on this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Among those they interviewed are three Ender’s Game cast members.
Harrison Ford, who is receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, was quick to point out that Ender’s Game is different from Blade Runner.
“It’s just a whole different canvas — no replicants — and character and world view.”
Asa Butterfield, who will be given the Rising Star Award, gave high praise to the script, which he read while studying hard in school.
“It was the best script I’d read, and I thought how much fun it would be to be in zero gravity with laser guns.”
And last but not least, Hailee Steinfeld, who will be recognized as the Female Star of Tomorrow, talked about the fun of hanging with a cast of mostly boys her age.
“At that point I’d wanted to work with kids my age, and was looking forward to it,” she recalls. “The catch is that they were all boys, so it was 3½ months with a bunch of guys, which is not a bad thing.”
Lionsgate’s product presentation is on Thursday, but still no word on whether anything new from Ender’s Game will be released.
