Has the success of LotR cleared the way for stalled sci-fi film projects? Casting for the long-awaited Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has already been noted here, and now there’s finally movement on an Ender’s Game movie: Director Wolfgang (Das Boot, Air Force One) Petersen is already signed, and apparently the writers of X2 have come aboard for a rewrite. Hmm…that’s good news. Now I wonder what’s up with Morgan Freeman’s take on Rendezvous with Rama? It seems the only fanboy project in the tank right now is Indiana Jones and the Wrath of Lucas.
One thought on “Speakers for the Dead.”

Very interesting Ender news. I remember reading Card’s website a few months ago and he was talking about seeing that horrible Brittany Murphy movie… “Uptown Girls” or something? Anyway he actually kinda liked it and he was really impressed with the little girl who starred in it. He said that he hoped she’s be the right age to play Petra if the Ender’s Game movie ever got off the ground.
