Of Orson Scott Card that is, I point your attention to the latest update on the Ender's Game movie.
...David Benioff, the writer of the screenplay for Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 epic Troy, has been signed by Warner Bros. to pen the script for the movie Ender's Game.
Benioff will work with his writing partner, Dan Weiss, in close cooperation with Petersen, who is developing Ender's Game with the intent of directing it himself.
The screenplay will be based on Orson Scott Card's novels Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.
If they are still writing this thing then the best I can hope for is a release in Spring of 2007. This movie will be very special effects intensive so it will take a while.
Oh well, I have waited this long, I can wait a while longer. Who knows, if the movie works (and come on, how can it not) I might get to see some Alvin Maker movies as well. A geek can hope.
