    I don't know. Jablonsky could surprise us.

    (But he probably won't.)
  5. Bootlegs? What are bootlegs?

    Yeah, disappointing news about ENDERS GAME. I do like Jablonsky, and if comes up with something a la THE ISLAND, TRANSFORMERS or PAIN & GAIN, I'm sold. However, I had really looked forward to another Horner sci fi.
    I am extremely serious.

    The trailer looks awful and seeing that Kurzman and Orci are involved leads me to believe they've decided to rip the heart out of the novel and turn it into another paint-by-numbers action spectacle.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    The old man looks out of his league, he should quit the game i think. Kingsley isn't as good as he can either. In for the cash perhaps?
    The nagging Ender boy in his teenage years is laughable.

    Looks like Battleship in space. Exactly a Jablonsky-type of movie. Glad Horner is out of this crap.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Looks interesting to me.

    I've no doubt Jablonsky's score will be generic and something I don't like.

    It's possibly my all-time favorite novel so I was hoping the film adaption would be decent, but I'm not liking what I'm seeing at all...

    Am i the only one who was reminded of Shyamalan's crappy air-bender (in a space metaphor perhaps) as well?

    I enjoyed the novel as well and had been looking forward to the film, but certainly not any more. Putting a junk RC composer on it can only mean it's awful, and even if it isn't then he'll ruin it.

    The film does indeed look disappointing (despite the presence of Ford, which I tend to like in everything he does). A sci fi extravaganza is fine, but these days you need something extra to up the game. This one didn't seem to have that.

    I also dislike some of the beliefs of the author, but I haven't read a whole piece of the series (except an extended selection in a sci fi anthology book).
    I am extremely serious.
  6. But ENDER'S GAME wasn't a sci-fi extravaganza. I don't think this story should involve huge space battles. It should just be about Ender and bunch of other genius kids in some kind of battle academy. If the trailer gives an accurate idea of the film, it will ruin the best part of the book.

    Also, you won't find too many of Orson Scott Card's beliefs in the book. Maybe in some of the later more philosophical entries in the series (which I haven't read), but not in this first book.
  7. I have read the trilogy some time ago: Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide. I can't say I found anything disturbing about the thoughts developed here. It seemed very much driven by humanity. Religion also forms a big part.

    The books themselves are fine, but since then Orson Scott Card has come out and said some pretty worrying things about homosexuality and gay marriage (something to the tune of gay people having a "tragic genetic mixup"... rolleyes). It does make it a little more difficult to enjoy his novels, though I still do, largely.

    As to the trailer, all I can hope is that they put all the slam-bang stuff in there to try and rope modern dumbass audiences, and that we're still going to get the thoughtful sci-fi movie that an Ender's Game adaptation deserves. If they take some liberties with the training room simulations, well, that's not such a big deal for me.

    Exactly. It's stuff like that. Card belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and they have some terribly reactionary views which irk someone as myself, a more liberal Christian.

    I don't know how much of this trickles into his novels, but it's made me a bit cautious about his writings as well.

  9. Did he not distance himself from what he said in the early 90s? Anyway, I tend to distinguish between the author as a person and his work. Otherwise, knowing how Goethe treated women ...

    Besides: Truth and morality are no monopoly of the political left.

    Nah, he's joined groups dedicated to upholding the "sanctity of marriage" vomit as recently as 2009.

    No, but bigotry and intolerance are the monopoly of the political (far) right. wink

    I wonder if he'll make a concerted attempt at not referencing Prokofiev? wink

  13. I've heard that this score refers to his Apollo 13/Pelican Brief action sound, which for such a movie sounds weird, if intriguing.
