Summit to finally, really, truly try to make Ender's Game movie
Summit Entertainment has reportedly stepped up to finance and distribute the Gavin Hood-directed adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game that was first announced back in September—and given the sluggish momentum of most Ender’s Game adaptation news over the years, this counts as a lightning-quick turnaround. Why the sudden excitement? With the end of its Twilight Saga in sight, Summit is reportedly looking for its next youth-oriented franchise, one that could best the upcoming Hunger Games at its own “kids forced by circumstance to take part in killing contests” idiom by reviving one of the originals, one where the kids are even younger and creepier in their precociousness.
