    EnderCast Episode #34 with Guest Asa Butterfield

    Episode34

    It’s obvious we’ve wanted to have Asa Butterfield as a guest on our show for forever and yesterday we finally got our wish with EnderCast Episode 34, Ender Wiggin Ender Wiggin.

    Listen as we try to get him to do his American accent, which he says Hailee’s said needs work, and as we ask him what it’s like to see his face plastered all over London and LA. We also got a chance to talk to producers Bob Orci and Gigi Pritzker about their journey bringing Ender’s Game to the big screen and why they’re glad it took this long.

    Freshly returned from the European press tour for Ender’s Game, Odd Lot Entertainment co-founder and owner Gigi Pritzker talked to ChicagoBusiness.com about her long journey bringing Ender’s Game to the big screen.

    “He was an eighth-grader who had a hard time reading, but he read this book and liked it, and that intrigued me,” Ms. Pritzker says. “I love that there was this material that a 13-year-old boy and a 35-year-old woman could have a conversation about and really dig into the themes. And he said, ‘Wouldn’t it make a great movie?’

    “From that day, Ms. Pritzker says, “I tried to get the thing made. And that little eighth-grade boy just had his first baby two nights ago and is getting his Ph.D. at Oxford. That’s how long it’s taken me to get this movie made.”

    Last Sunday, October 6th, Ender’s Game director Gavin Hood, producers Gigi Pritzker and Bob Orci, and cast members Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley attended a photo call at Hotel Adlon, Berlin. The official German facebook page Ender’s Game – Das grosse Spiel released pictures from the event. Check some of them out below! See the rest HERE!

    In addition, RedCarpetReports.de posted some higher resolution pictures from the photo call. See the best ones below! They have a little watermark in the lower right-hand corner, but since it’s pretty small and unobtrusive I’m sure you guys won’t mind.

    Before their presentation of Ender’s Game at the Odeon Leicester Square during MCM London Comic Con, Hailee Steinfeld, Sir Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, and Gavin Hood talked to Entertainmentwise about Ender’s Game.

    Not much new here, but I get some perverse enjoyment out of the reactions of Ben Kingsley, Asa Butterfield and, yes, Harrison Ford to being asked whether or not they would like to star/are starring in the next Star Wars movie. The Ben Kingsley one is cut off a bit in the beginning. If you’re interested in the whole Star Wars conversation, check it out HERE! Would someone please phone someone to get Ben Kingsley and Asa Butterfield into that movie. Look how excited they are at the prospect!

    The fabulous five also talked to a couple of other news outlets prior to their London presentation. We already posted HeyUGuysUK’s interviews with Gavin Hood and Sir Ben Kingsley earlier this week. Their interviews with Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, and Harrison Ford don’t reveal anything new, but we didn’t want to keep them from you either way, so here they are:

    Finally, The MCM Buzz interviewed the cast and crew on the Comic Con red carpet. Here is a video that collects some tidbits of what Gavin Hood and the four cast members had to say:

    You can check out the full interviews with Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Gavin Hood on the TheMCMBuzz Youtube channel. I love the Hailee Steinfeld and Ben Kingsley ones especially.

    They even posted a somewhat rarer interview with Gigi Pritzker and Bob Orci. Check it out below.
