ENDER'S GAME and CARRIE EW Magazine Cover Photos
Entertainment Weekly has released a couple more covers for their upcoming Comic-Con issue. One is for Ender's Game, featuring Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford as Ender and Colonel Graff. The Other is for Carrie and features another blood-drenched image of Chloe Moretz.
There's been a lot of talk about the film recently due to the fact there's a boycott on it from a gay rights group that doesn't care for Orsen Scott Card's views on the gay community. Here's the thing, Card has already made his millions off the book series, so at this point the boycott isn't going to hurt him. The only people the boycott will hurt are the studio and the young actors who just wanted to make a fun sci-fi movie. I understand what the group is trying to do, but I don't think it's right to ruin the experience of the actors that lived out a dream of making a really cool sci-fi movie. All I'm saying is let them have their fun without turning the whole thing into a political statement.
The movie also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Ben Kinglsey, Moises Arias, KhylinRhambo, Viola Davis, Brandon Soo Hoo, and Nonso Anozie.
Ender's Game is set to have a Panel at Comic-Con next week where the studio is sure to show off some more cool footage! I imagine a new trailer will be released around that time. It hits theaters on November 1st, 2013. Are you excited to see it?
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 Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.
Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, 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.
The movie was directed by Kimberley Peirce and also stars Chloe Moretz, Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, and Portia Doubleday. The movie hits theaters October 18th, 2013, and it will have a Comic-con panel as well!
The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White and her daughter Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson, but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.
