Summit has posted a behind the scenes video detailing how Digital Domain and Audi collaborated to create the Fleet Quattro car in the movie. You can see Abigail Breslin in the car, presumably when Graff brings her to the lake.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #12
Hey guys,
it’s been two weeks, and while the cast have not been overly busy on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, we still have tons of news and pretty pictures to share with you.
Let’s start with Hailee Steinfeld, who has been by far the busiest of the young cast, having signed on to not one but two new projects in the last couple of weeks. First, she is going to play teen assasin Megan in Kyle Newman’s Barely Lethal alongsinde Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Alba. Second, she’s set to appear as Vince Vaughn’s daughter in his adaptation of Term Life, a graphic novel by A.J. Lieberman and Nick Thornborrow. Not to forget all those other projects she’s either currently working on, like Three Days to Kill and The Homesman, or recently finished shooting, like Loveship, Hateship and The Keeping Room. No wonder German GLAMOUR editor Wolfgang Hertel calls her “A Girl for All Occasions.”
Hailee’s latest project, the new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, just premiered in LA. Here she is on the red carpet with “Romeo” Douglas Booth and BFF Taylor Swift.
I like the dress. It proves again that Hailee Steinfeld is quite the fashionista. Which is probably why she made time to attend several events during New York Fashion Week, such as the Donna Karen 25th Birthday Bash, the Estee Lauder “Modern Muse” Fragrance Launch or the Calvin Klein Spring 2014 After-Party. I don’t know about you, but while I’m not sure about the Donna Karen one I’m partial to the Calvin Klein outfit.
Hailee herself has often admitted that fashion is hugely important for her. So too in the October issue of ASOS, the magazine published by the online fashion shop of the same name. E-Online published five shots ahead of time, along with a little article. Check them out HERE! (Update: More shots and a making-of video HERE at the Daily Mail Online.)
Speaking of fashion magazines: Several pictures of Abigail Breslin appear in digital magazine ContentMode’s current issue #11, together with a video in which Abigail talks about August: Osage County, Ender’s Game, and her fashion philosophy. Check out the photos and the video HERE!
Since then, Abigail has been keeping busy. She did a number of interviews recently to promote her various new and upcoming movies. She talked to ShockTillYouDrop about Haunter and Zombieland, discussed the terrifying experience of being locked in a trunk in The Call with DIY, and chatted to ALLURE about this and that. And according to Comingsoon.net, she has just started working on her newest movie, zombie thriller Maggie with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
While it’s not exactly a new movie, Khylin Rhambo also had news to share. He recently booked a guest role in the cop show Ironside!
Conor Carroll, on the other hand, has been walking down memory lane, sharing THIS awesome little ad with the world. Looks like little Conor already had the bully role down pat. Otherwise he’s been keeping busy getting into boxing and Facebook. Check out his new account HERE!
And since we are speaking of new social media accounts: Moises Arias finally decided to share his awesome photography on Tumblr. Here are a few examples of his work. Go check out his Tumblr 490tx for the rest HERE.
Finally, let’s briefly talk about the older cast: Ben Kingsley has joined the cast of Learning to Drive. Harrison Ford will receive the Hollywood Career Award at the 17th annual Hollywood Film Awards. He’s also keeping up the Han Solo act by angering leading politicians. Viola Davis appears on the cover of the October issue of ESSENCE. You can see a video of the shoot HERE. And while I couldn’t find the entire article online, several online news outlets have published parts of her interview with the magazine: Check them out HERE, HERE and HERE.

Watch it below. The Ender’s Game part starts around the 2:55 minute mark.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #11
Hey peeps,
I’ve been on vacation in the wilderness (read: visiting my family), which meant no stalking teenagers or posting random stuff for the obsessed. And while it was very relaxing, I’m happy to be back and ready to post some Ender’s Game cast news!
Let’s start with Abigail Breslin. Between tweeting about Pumpkin Spice Latte and working really hard on her newly established Tumblr, she found the time to both go to the premiere of the One Direction movie as well as appear at the Toronto Film Festival to promote her new star-studded movie August: Osage County. The movie is based on a play by Tracy Letts; Meryl Streep and Benedict Cumberbatch star among other great names. See Abbie at the premiere below and check out 20+ pics of her at the August: Osage County press conference HERE on JustJared.
Asa Butterfield has been busy shooting (and wrapping) his new movie X Plus Y while Asanators have been swamping Tumblr with pics from the shoot. Here are a few choice ones found on various Instagram accounts of the X Plus Y cast and such by Tumblr users ceolwaerc, elinabfb, asabutterfielded and asaisthebest.
After the movie wrapped, it was straight back to London, where Asa is now attending Sixth Form College (note: that’s still regular school, not college in the American sense of the word), presumably at his old school, Stoke Newington in Hackney/London. His GCSE results were pretty good, so Ender’s academic future looks bright and rosy.
In other news, Asa has just struck up a Twitter friendship with Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams. Shame that I can’t think of a Song of Ice and Fire role I could see Asa in. Any ideas?
Between Comic Con, shooting X Plus Y and getting ready for advanced schooling, Asa seems to have found the time to squeeze in a photoshoot with Teen Vogue as well. Is that Beetlejuice with a hat? Check out the making-of video HERE.
By the way, the cover model for this very issue of Teen Vogue is none other than Ender’s Game’s Hailee Steinfeld. Watch the video of her cover shoot below.
In addition to working as a cover model and reminding people on Twitter that Ender’s Game is less than two months away, Hailee is also promoting her other new movie, the newest adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. While she was in Rome for some touristy stuff about a week ago, she posted this pic of herself and two of her cast mates with a countdown leading up to the Romeo and Juliet release date. It’s only about a month away, guys, so now is the time to brush up on your Elizabethan English!
For Suraj Partha, the past two weeks were basically filled with preparing for the SATs, talking to Crystal and Kelly on EnderCast, and being a musician. He posted not only one, but two new videos on Youtube! Check out his covers of Ed Sheeran’s “Lego House” and “Wait for Me” by Kings of Leon HERE and HERE. And in case you have a little time to spare, Suraj’s Youtube channel is awesome! Check it out for various vids of Suraj performing privately and publicly HERE.
In addition, he stepped in last minute to play Beethoven’s 9th at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with a youth orchestra on August 26. Just like that. Sure. I can play that kind of music on short notice. No problem at all.
Speaking about music, Jimmy Jax Pinchak posted a new video of himself and his band playing Muddy Waters’ “Trouble No More” on facebook. If you like Blues, here you go:
Finally, Aramis Knight and Brandon Soo Hoo seem to have new jobs. Brandon recently tweeted about some work on the new TV series Instant Mom, while Aramis seems to have become a clothing line model for Barnabas.
Phew, that was quite a bit of stuff. Check back here for more random cast news next week. See ya!

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #8 – New Projects Edition
Recently, the names of several cast members have been showing up in entertainment news articles around the Nets, and not just in connection to Ender’s Game. I figure that’s reason enought to take a closer look at the cast’s current and upcoming projects.
Hailee Steinfeld seems to be by far the busiest of the younger cast. Her new movie Romeo & Juliet, starring Douglas Booth as Romeo, is coming out in October and Relativity Media has recently released not only a new trailer and the first movie poster but also several hi-res stills to promote the film. See the poster and the trailer below, and check out the stills HERE!
In addition to Romeo & Juliet and Ender’s Game, Hailee has nine movies coming up, six of which have already been shot. Hateship Loveship and Can A Song Save Your Life? are set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Release dates have yet to be set for The Homesman (a frontier drama starring Tommy Lee Jones) and The Keeping Room (with Sam Worthington, set during the American Civil War). The spy thriller Three Days to Kill is coming out in February 2014. Three more projects are currently in pre-production.
Abigail Breslin has a few movies coming out within the next few months as well. Her horror flick Haunter is set to be released in theaters and on Video on Demand in October, and the poster and trailer have just been released online.
See 58 hi-res stills of the movie HERE at Filmofilia. In addition, Abigail is starring in the thrillers Final Girl and Wicked Blood, both set to be released this year, and playwright Tracy Letts’ family Drama August: Osage County (with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Benedict Cumberbatch; out in December). Two more projects are currently in pre-production.
As we told you a couple of weeks ago, Asa Butterfield is currently filming BBC co-financed dramedy X Plus Y. He is also rumored to play the lead in The White Circus, a fantasy movie reuniting him with Chloe Moretz set to be released in 2015. And personally, I wouldn’t be too upset if the casting directors of the new Artemis Fowl movie would consider casting Asa. Tumblr users have done that for years.
But let’s not forget the adult cast, since they have been keeping busy, too. Harrison Ford’s new movie Paranoia (with Liam Hemsworth and Gary Oldman) is coming out in a little over a month. Anchorman 2, in which he has a small role, is set to be released in January 2014. In addition, he is involved in three projects that are currently in pre-production: psychological thriller You Belong To Me (with Zach Efron), Sly Stallone’s The Expendables 3, and the long awaited Star Wars VII (directed by J.J. Abrams). He has also declared on several occasions that he would be open to Indiana Jones 5. While I’m excited for Star Wars, I’m not so sure about Indy 5 (Indy 4 was one of the worst movies I’ve ever not finished watching), and I’m positively dreading Expendables. I wonder if Harrison lost a bet or something.
True to current form, Sir Ben Kingsley has signed onto every project he could fit into his schedule. WWII drama Walking With the Enemy and middle ages set The Physician (based on Noah Gordon’s best-selling novel) are set to be released later this year. SciFi movie Our Robot Overlords is to premiere in 2014. One more project, currently untitled, is in post-production. Two are filming at the moment (thriller Eliza Graves and animated movie The Boxtrolls). Three more are in pre-production.
Viola Davis has a new movie coming out in September as well: crime thriller Prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhall. Two more movies – Th Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby and Cyber – are currently filming/in post-production.
Finally, Nonso Anozie has been doing pretty well for himself. He has landed roles in the upcoming Jack Ryan movie, starring Chris Pine and Keira Knightley (out in December) and NBC’s Dracula TV series, starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as the seductive vampire and Nonso as his loyal servant Renfield.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #7 – Power of Youth
This week’s cast watch mostly revolves around yesterday’s Variety Power of Youth event. Abigail Breslin was honored as one of five young performers for her involvement in Project Sunshine, a charity for children with disabilities, HIV and other special needs. Here is Abigail with her co-honorees Jake Austin, Quvenzhane Wallis, Nina Dobrev and Tyler Posey.
At the event, Abigail met up with her August: Osage County costar Dermot Mulroney …
… and probably with some of her Ender’s Game buddies, because it seems that Aramis Knight and Khylin Rhambo were also in attendance. Khylin tweeted this “epic” picture of himself with Percy Jackson‘s Brandon T. Jackson and The Maze Runner‘s Dexter Darden.
Aramis met up with some friends and then posed with Tyler Posey (pun intended), tweeting: “Everyone thinks I look like this guy.” I wonder why everyone thinks that … oh wait, BECAUSE YOU DO!
Apparently, Abigail Breslin played matchmaker for Aramis Knight at some point around the time of the event. Hmm, very cryptic.
In other news:
Abigail Breslin did a photoshoot with The Icon Magazine. Looks amazing.
Asa Butterfield is shooting a new movie, modding Skyrim, and letting himself be stung in the lip by wasps. (I’m still waiting for photos.) Hailee Steinfeld is seeing Bruno Mars tonight. And the Jimmy Jax Pinchak Band just started playing at the Venice Beach Summer Fest 2013. Check their WEBSITE for upcoming gigs.
PS: If you are at Venice Beach right now, Jimmy is signing a limited number of Ender’s Game posters after the gig!

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #5
This past week had half the cast in a flurry over San Diego Comic Con. It looks like almost everone is attending!
According to the official Comic Con page, Suraj and Aramis as well as Jimmy Pinchak, Conor Carroll, and Cameron Gaskins are going to sign autographs on Saturday around noon (drawing of line tickets is around 9am), while the Thursday panelists (sans Harrison Ford) are scheduled to sign on Thursday morning. Good planning, Comic Con! It’s not as if the Ender’s Game fans will be waiting in line in front of Hall H at that time!
What I find interesting is that Brandon Soo Hoo, Khylin Rhambo and Moises Arias (both unconfirmed) seem to be going to San Diego, but aren’t part of the official line-up. What’s with that? Are they just going to hang out around the premises? Or is there some secret project they are involved in? (Ender’s Game Experience, anyone?)
Hailee Steinfeld and Asa Butterfield are also preparing for the big event. But while for Hailee things are going according to plan, Asa had to endure a few setbacks (read tweets from bottom to top) before he arrived safely in LA this morning.
According to his Twitter, he is going to meet up with his friend and Hugo co-star Cloe Moretz while he’s there.Earlier last week, when things were still a bit less hectic, Asa enjoyed a beautiful day in Sheffield, while Aramis went for some recreational Lasertag. Be careful, Aramis, your Bean is showing!
On a personal note, I’m happy to announce that two of my favorite fandoms are finally converging on each other, as Suraj Partha has become addicted to Doctor Who! I know your pain, Suraj. Now go spread the word! -

Comic Con 2013 Thursday Schedule Released
Comic Con International has begun rolling out their schedule and today they released the schedule for Thursday. Ender’s Game is slotted for 3:50 PM in Hall H along with Summit’s YA title Divergent.
With the two films sharing a one hour slot, that doesn’t seem to leave a whole lot of time for Ender’s Game, a half an hour at most. Hopefully they pack in as much as they can!
Stars Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, and Abigail Breslin will be there along with producer Bob Orci and director Gavin Hood.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #3
I’m a bit late this week, but to be fair, there wasn’t that much to report about our young cast as far as social media announcements go – up until today, that is. Let’s have the good news first: Brandon Soo Hoo graduated High School. Congratulations, Brandon!
Also, Jimmy “Jax” Pinchak announced today via twitter that he will be joining castmates Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford at Comic Con.
Meanwhile, Abigail Breslin – again breaking the record for most tweets per day – has been alternating sleeping on the couch (due to a bugger infestation of her room, no less) and celebrating half-Christmas with glittery wintery images on Instagram, while Asa Butterfield has been relaxing with his family in beautiful, sunny Greece.
Aramis Knight, on the other hand, has made an effort to make the world a better place in this years annual “One Child At A Time Celebrity Basketball Game” on June 23. For him, and I’m sure for many of the spectators, it was a dream come true.
Finally, Khylin Rhambo has announced that he is changing his name. Personally, I welcome the change, as I’m never quite sure if I’m spelling “Rhambo” correctly.

VIDEO: ‘The Call’ Stars on Abigail Breslin
In an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, Halle Berry, Michael Eklund, and Michael Imperiou talk about working with Abigail Breslin on The Call. While Berry seems very impressed with her preparedness and professionalism, Eklund and Imperiou praise her ability to access and express her emotions. This bodes well for everyone’s favorite lake scene in Ender’s Game, which, as book readers will know, hinges on the emotional connection between Valentine and Ender.
The Call is out on DVD and Blu-ray today.

Ender’s Game Cast Watch #2
As usual, the young Ender’s Game cast has been really active on Twitter this week, with Abigail Breslin taking home the “Most Obsessive Tweeter” award with 33 original tweets since Monday.
Moises Arias has been busy promoting his new film The Kings of Summer, which was released this week. He attended a Q & A at the Landmark Theater in LA on Wednesday. Check out Twitter user Devan Abharis photograph of the event (as retweeted by Moises himself).
Moises also spoke to Papermag about The Kings of Summer. He briefly mentions Ender’s Game, saying:
It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. It was inspiring to see the professionalism. The cinematography! The special effects look amazing. I’m excited. I’ve gotten to work with the most amazing actors and the most amazing child actors right now.
Hailee Steinfeld has been spending her time filming the Civil War drama The Keeping Room (with Sam Worthington) and photographing cows in Romania.
Asa Butterfield has finished school and has left London for warmer pastures as well, spending his summer vacation in Greece.
Suraj Partha is still travelling the world. After France and England, he is rounding off his trip with a visit to Disneyland.

Abigail Breslin to Star in Contagion Thriller
Valentine Wiggin actress Abigail Breslin is set to star in Peste, a contagion thriller produced by Sheryll Clark (Cloverfield) and financed by IM Global. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she will play a teenage girl whose family is quarantined during a viral epidemic that turns people into monsters.
