1. It is one of the most beloved books of all time. Its story depicting a sci-fiction adventure and a deeper dark story about the growth of a child is highly effective and exciting. The only difficulty should be capturing the thoughts in the mind of Ender, which is key to the development of the plot.
2. We may have Harrison Ford (not confirmed yet) as Graff, which is one beloved sci-fi actor in this century. His portrayal of this significant figure in the book will be a huge bonus to the movie.
3. There's only one reason why making this movie is so delayed - Orson Scott Card wants the movie to stay true to the book. So we should probably be realistic about the ages of the actors. I am sure it is a good compromise to use older kids with better acting skills instead of gathering an ensemble of eight-year-old newbies. I'm looking forward to great performances.
4. Asa Butterfield, the "Hugo" star, has been confirmed to play the title character of Ender. His performance in the Martin Scorsese film definitely proved himself a superb actor and proved himself mature enough to take up the role of Andrew "Ender" Wiggin. We also have Brendan Meyer as the Stilson, which is a relatively small yet essential part because it shaped Ender's life. Veteran and Oscar-winning Ben Kingsley is also rumored to have the part of Mazer Rackham, which is also good news
5. Finally, with Gavin Hood (Wolverine and Oscar-winning Tsotsi) as director and a co-writer of the screenplay alongside Orson Scott Card himself, the movie should be fine.
Ender's Game is also one of my favorite books, so let's hope that the movie will turn out to be a charm two years from now.
