YEAH, BUT THE MOVIE WASN'T AS GOOD AS THE BOOK


BOOKS ABOUT TO BECOME MOVIES

ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card

ENDERS GAME

Status: Set for release November  2013.

Who's involved: Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley and Asa Butterfield (starring), Gavin Hood (directing), Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (among the producers).

Why you should read the book first: Despite many readers lack of space-interest, the novel hooks then from the first chapter. The story is set in the future and follows a child named Ender Wiggin, who's recruited to attend Battle School, a space-set training facility where children study and play games to prepare for a battle against an alien race. While the premise proves to be suspenseful and easy to follow, at its core, Ender's Game is a story about a child set up as an underdog, whose compassion, intuition and tactical genius makes him especially likable and a fascinating character to watch. It's a story that, if done right, could make for a great movie. If you've already read the book, try Ender's Shadow and see how the story goes from the perspective of one of Ender's trusted companions, Bean.
