* If Wolverine is a typical Gavin Hood movie (IDK if I've seen any of his others), then I don't buy him as a choice to direct the Ender's Game movieOldSchool_Boy wrote:I remember years ago that Wolfgang Peterson was supposedly going to direct it as well as a Bullitt remake with Brad Pitt.Stark wrote:Alright so I just saw that Gavin Hood director of Wolverine is directing Ender's Game. WTF. Can someone (Luke) tell me how this is going to turn out good? I just don't see it. Thanks for ruining my chances at seeing a great book, turned great movie, Hollywood.

* When Card came to visit my school (around my Sophomore or Junior year, which was in the ballpark of late '01 to early '03), I suggested Erik Per Sullivan as Bean, but this was back when he was still playing Dewey on Malcolm in the Middle
* Ender's Game should be animated, and I don't mean CGI
* I hear that Bradley Cooper's attached to The Crow remake and it's ditching the look and feel of the original for something "more realistic". I call BS! If anything, it should traditional animation, black-and-white and in the art style of the original GN
* Speaking of The Crow, how come no one's thought of doing an animated anthology, a la Animatrix? I have, and already have two story ideas in mind. One is a '30s-style film noir in which a dead gangster's girlfriend kills off her lover's henchmen before going after the man she loved who killed her. The second is set in Nazi Germany, and the Crow Avatar is a young man killed by Nazi soldiers, and he frees his family and gets them to safety. There's also a few not-quite-there ideas, like a steampunk and dieselpunk take, a cyberpunk-style tale, and maybe one set in the war in Iraq. Naturally, they mostly eschew the urban gothic aesthetic of the original while presenting fresh, original takes on the mythology
