Ender’s Game
The team behind marketing Ender’s Game knows there’s going to be a lot of resistance to it because of author Orson Scott Card and his views, which he is trying to downplay to some degree these days, and that means a stronger and more careful marketing push. The SDCC push is going to be one of the ways to try and win people over to the actual film itself, based on the book from the 1980′s, which does not delve into Card’s views. And now we’ve got two new clips up and six character poster banners for the film to check out below.
Plot concept: In the near future, a hostile alien race called the Formics have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young minds to find the future Mazer.
Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy but strategically brilliant boy, is recruited to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult challenges and simulations, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham himself to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
