  • Ender’s Game Cast Watch #4

    Ender’s Game Cast Watch #4

    Another week of me stalking the Ender’s Game cast on the nets has come to a close. Let’s see what the kids have been up to.

    Asa Butterfield has been all kinds of busy. Let’s start with the picture that finally made him Instagram-famous (and I wonder why):

    4asa_boat20130704

    Looks like that was the last day in Greece, before he had to return to London for his Prom!

    4asa_prom_20130705

    Also, in preparation of his appearance at the Ender’s Game panel on Thursday, July 18, Asa went shopping at Carnaby Street, London. Will he wow you all with his fashion sense?

    Personally, I’m slightly flashed by the pattern mix. But I’m sure that’s just me.

    Speaking of Comic Con, Aramis Knight has confirmed that he will be signing autographs! He even gave a tentative date! Watch out for him on Saturday at the Summit booth! After Jimmy Pinchak, Aramis is the second non-panelist announcing that he is going to SDCC, but Khylin Rhambo, Brandon Soo Hoo, Conor Carroll and Caleb Thaggard are rumored to be there as well.  While the kids are getting excited for the big event, Harrison Ford seems to have the time and leisure for a trip to Peru.

    Hailee Steinfeld has been caught up in other projects. Nevertheless she had the time to tweet about her new magazine cover as well as an interview she did about her upcoming film Romeo and Juliet. Watch it below!

    Moises Arias has a new film … or rather, a video. He appears in his friend Willow Smith’s new music video “Summer Fling”.

    Finally, Suraj Partha seems to have a little less time for fun stuff this summer, as he is studying for his SAT! I’m sure he will ace it, though, just like he just aced his AP EURO class (according to his facebook). He did, however, have the time to post a video of himself singing and playing the piano in Paris. So romantic!

    Comic Con 2013 Thursday Schedule Released

    Comic-Con-Thursday

    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.

    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.

    Ender’s Game Cast Watch #1

    Since it’s been a pretty slow couple of days, I decided to stalk the Ender’s Game cast’s twitter and facebook accounts in the hopes of turning up some interesting tidbits. And guess what, the kids have been BUSY! Well, all except Asa Butterfield, who has apparently decided to spend the next week or so in front of his computer.

    asawhere

    He did, however, hang out with Suraj Partha only a couple of days ago, when Suraj visited London on his trip to Europe. Hailee Steinfeld, on the other hand, stayed in the States to spend some days in Hollywood being honored by Max Mara.  And Moises Arias just returned from a week of roughin’ it in Cabo San Lucas.

    Jimmy Pinchak was in New Jersey yesterday visiting Jenkinson’s Boardwalk. Meanwhile, Aramis Knight has been busy planning to participate in the “One Child At A Time”-Celebrity Basketball match coming up on June 23.

     

     

     

     

  • Hailee Steinfeld’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Finds US Distributor

    Hailee Steinfeld’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Finds US Distributor

    Juliet

    According to Variety, Hailee Steinfeld’s upcoming film Romeo and Juliet (out July 26 in the UK) has found a US distributor with Relativity Media. The company will release the film in the United States on September 6, 2013! See a new still of Hailee as Juliet above and watch the trailer for the film below.

    The film was shot early last year in Italy in Mantua, the Northern Italian city to which Romeo was banished in the play, and at Rome’s Cinecitta Studios. Producers have been touting “Romeo and Juliet” as an ageless story reimagined for the 21st Century and told in the traditional setting it was written.

    Hailee has done several projects since Ender’s Game and Romeo and Juliet will be her first appearance on the big screen since her Academy award nominated performance in 2010’s True Grit.

    ClevverTV interviewed Hailee and Asa at CinemaCon and asked about Ender’s Game, working with Harrison Ford, and space camp training.

    “I think the hardest part was getting up at 7 every morning,” laughed Asa. “But that was the first time the cast had met each other, pretty much, so it really broke the ice and we were best friends at the end of it.”

  • Hailee Steinfeld Thinks Fans of ‘Ender’s Game’ Will be Proud of the Movie

    Hailee Steinfeld Thinks Fans of ‘Ender’s Game’ Will be Proud of the Movie

    At CinemaCon to accept the award for Female Star of Tomorrow, actress Hailee Steinfeld did a short Q&A with press to talk about Ender’s Game and Romeo and Juliet.

    Hailee was first asked whether she’s a fan of sci-fi and she was quick to credit Ender’s Game for introducing her to the genre. “Since then I’ve really been a huge fan and I really love the whole extended world behind it.”

    Although she hadn’t read Ender’s Game before she signed on, she had heard of the book. “I wasn’t at all familiar with it. I’d heard of the book, I hadn’t read it, so after I signed up to do the project I had read the first book and I’m so interested in taking the time to read all the others. There’s quite a few and if I had the time I would definitely read them all. I’m a huge fan of the series.”

    She credits the fan following as one of the reasons she decided to take the role of Petra Arkanian. “Something that I really loved about this walking into it was that it did have such a huge fanbase that you’re being accepted in and we get to share this film with so many fans and so many people that love the book and I think that they’ll be really proud of it. I had such an incredible experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

    I think the fans will love her as Petra and hopefully we do end up very proud of the film!

    With Lionsgate closing out CinemaCon with their Product Presentation, all stars had left to do was head to the Awards Ceremony, where three of the Ender’s Game stars received awards for their work in film.

    Variety Talks to Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, and Hailee Steinfeld

    CinemaCon

    CinemaCon is in full swing in Las Vegas and Variety spoke to the various actors receiving special recognition at the convention going on this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Among those they interviewed are three Ender’s Game cast members.

    Harrison Ford, who is receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, was quick to point out that Ender’s Game is different from Blade Runner.

    “It’s just a whole different canvas — no replicants — and character and world view.”

    Asa Butterfield, who will be given the Rising Star Award, gave high praise to the script, which he read while studying hard in school.

    “It was the best script I’d read, and I thought how much fun it would be to be in zero gravity with laser guns.”

    And last but not least, Hailee Steinfeld, who will be recognized as the Female Star of Tomorrow, talked about the fun of hanging with a cast of mostly boys her age.

    “At that point I’d wanted to work with kids my age, and was looking forward to it,” she recalls. “The catch is that they were all boys, so it was 3½ months with a bunch of guys, which is not a bad thing.”

    Lionsgate’s product presentation is on Thursday, but still no word on whether anything new from Ender’s Game will be released.

  • VIDEO: Hailee Steinfeld in Romeo and Juliet Trailer

    VIDEO: Hailee Steinfeld in Romeo and Juliet Trailer

    So back when I was 17 years old, which I’m sad to say was a whopping 17 years ago, I created my very first fansite on Geocities, which kind of what you could call the 1990s version of GoDaddy, and it was all about the 1996 Romeo + Juliet.

    It’s weird then, that Hailee Steinfeld (Petra), who I got to meet in New Orleans last May, is Juliet in a 2013 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. I’m a total sucker for the story, even almost two decades later since it remains my favorite Shakespeare play, so I was pretty excited to see the first trailer, even if it’s in poor quality. This is actually the first footage of Hailee since her amazing debut in True Grit, which is kind of hard to believe. Hailee looks amazing as Juliet!

    It’s actually kind of funny that Claire Danes was Juliet in 1996 and now Lord Capulet is being played by Damian Lewis. (You’ll only get that if you watch Homeland)

    CinemaCon has previously announced that they would be bestowing awards upon Harrison Ford (Lifetime Achievement) and Asa Butterfield (Rising Star of 2013) and today it’s been announced that yet another Ender’s Game star will be receiving an award at the convention in April.

    Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Petra Arkanian, will receive an award for 2013 Female Star of Tomorrow.

    “Having already garnered an Oscar® nomination, not to mention international acclaim for her big screen debut in ‘True Grit,’ Hailee Steinfeld will continue to show audiences this coming year just how amazing a young actress she is with five new films set to hit theaters,” noted Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser. “Can you imagine working opposite Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin in your very first film and under the direction of Joel and Ethan Coen no less? We cannot think of a more exemplary young actress to be named this year’s ‘CinemaCon Female Star of Tomorrow.’”

    The award will be given during the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards on Thursday, April 18 at Caesar’s Palace.

    With three cast members receiving awards, it’s starting to sound like the Lionsgate product presentation (to feature several unnamed special guests) may be a great panel for any Ender’s Game fans in attendance.

    Hailee Steinfeld was at an event with her brother Griffin tonight helping to support Our Military Kids and Ender’s Game fan Hannah asked her cousin Sarah to head there to meet her in the hopes of getting an autographed book and photo.

    As you can see below, Hailee signed it with the name Petra under her own. No doubt one of many to come!

    Here’s a bit from Sarah on getting to meet Hailee:

    It was so great getting to meet Hailee! She was super awesome and incredibly nice! She took the time to talk with my daughter and sign everything I brought. Such a great experience!

    Sounds like it was fun! Here’s a photo of Hannah’s signed book, with the phrase “Shoot straight”.
