Gavin Hood’s ENDER’S GAME is coming at us in November of next year, and to help get you prepared, Entertainment Weekly has released a new photo from the sci-fi epic. Showing off Harrison Ford as a hard-ass military instructor and Asa Butterfield as young savior-in-training Ender Wiggin, the photo probably accurately depicts the tense relationship between these two in the story.
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.
Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
ENDER’S GAME opens on November 1, 2013.
