I’m so terrified it won’t meet my expectations. 🙁

The gameroom in the poster looks much better than I ever imagined it. So kudos for that. The quality of the movie is going to come down to whether they use the CGI as the main course or as seasoning for a fine script and children acting with depth and meaning beyond their years. Sort of along the lines of the kids in Game of Thrones.

Assuming the movie is a commercial success I wonder where they will go next. Stick with the child actors and do some of the intermediate books and shadow stories or skip a generation and jump to Speaker of the Dead?

@Gabriel: I know how you feel. I think there’s no getting around the fact that there will be major changes but that’s to be expected and we can prepare ourselves for that. I’ll be satisfied if they make an honest effort to tell the story properly and have some good acting. I think the look is already nice and clean and I doubt we’ll be able to fault the special effects. As long as they enhance the story without becoming the focus we should be alright. Like Wintermute’s seasoning.

@Wintermute: The gameroom is looking really good – better than the version in my head too. I hadn’t given any thought to sequels! If the kids are good they’ll likely stick with them I should think. Given how fast they grow up they’ll have to move fast for film 2.

If they filmed it right, they could have filmed this and Ender’s Shadow almost simultaneously with just a little extra filming outside of Ender’s Game to account for Bean’s timeline.
