Today Roberto Orci, one of the producers of 2013’s film adaptation of Ender’s Game tweeted that they officially began shooting the movie today. Cast members have been tweeting about being on set in New Orleans, Louisiana and bonding over the last week or more, presumably all on location to do pre-production work.
This probably explains why main star Asa Butterfield was not present at the Oscars to represent his film Hugo, which was nominated for 11 Academy Awards this year. Actress Viola Davis was present, but since she probably has a smaller role as a Battle School psychiatrist, she probably wasn’t needed on set the first day. Plus, you can’t exactly not show up when nominated for Best Actress!
With principal photography officially on the way, let’s hope we start seeing some behind the scenes photos soon!
