Thank fuck, the last thing we need is another perfectly good story vivisected into mediocrity.

I have to disagree, I think it takes a lot of hutzpah to stick up and be true to your vision. I love the book Ender’s Game, but in this case I’m happy to see it isn’t going ahead if Orson Scott Card isn’t happy with it.

I’ve always been leery about the possible adaptation just from the standpoint of the age of the characters alone.

Honestly, this is why it’s sometimes good to have the creators NOT involved with the project – there are plenty of good writers out there who are just too obsessive, and Card isn’t all that great of a writer.

Call me crazy, but I think both Ender’s Game and Orson Scott Card are way overrated.

It’s ‘Ender in Exile’. Not exciting. Jesus who does the proofreading here?
