The Ender’s Game Instagram account spent today unveiling pieces of a new collage today with the awesome tagline “The future must be won”. Kelly and I agreed on a recent episode of EnderCast that this was an amazing tagline so it’s great to see them using it. The full image is below:
Summit posted a new photo collage to their Ender’s Game social media channel today with a new image of Mazer Rackham. And while it’s not really anything new, it’s still an image we haven’t seen before. Hopefully as we get closer we’ll start to see tv spots and clips. I know I want to see character profile clips!
Not sure how I missed this new still from last week, but here’s a new look at Ender and his Launchy group with Graff, who has a really odd stance here. This one is from the Boston Globe talking about “trouble ahead” with the fall movie season. (via Ender News)
So far this is the biggest size available, but if we get a bigger one we’ll be sure to let you know!
Also in new imagery is a montage of Petra posted to the official Ender’s Game social media channels today.
The shot of Petra standing is a new one. I’m still a little bothered by her really long hair. Since I have long hair myself, I know what a bother hair that length can be, so it doesn’t make much sense to me that she’d have it at this length in Battle School. What do you guys think?
According to the official Ender’s Game Twitter account, the final poster for Ender’s Game will be unveiled by IGN in two days on August 2nd, 2013.

What do you hope to see on this poster? The full cast? Just Ender? Ender and Dragon Army?
And just what is that behind the countdown?! Tell us your thoughts!
Today the Ender’s Game Twitter posted a new image of Sergeant Dap, shown below.
The image was posted with the text “Victory requires a new breed of warrior. Join the International Fleet and serve your planet.”
Along with the re-launch of I.F. Sentinel and the three really cool propaganda posters came some new imagery, some of it better looks at key characters.
First up, we have Dap, aka “Mom” to the Launchies. He’s sporting an IF Hat and wearing the teacher uniform. This photo doesn’t really do justice to how big Nonso Anozie is, but it’s still great to have a better look at him. We previously only caught a slight glimpse of him in the trailer.
Next there’s a nice close-up image of the back of a Dragon Army soldier and we get a much better look at part of the flash suit. We can see that they wear something connected to their suit over their heads and the helmet goes on over that. Also, any guesses who this is? Since there’s a wall of stars in front of him, my guess is Bean!
Last, but not least, we get a great first head-on look at Bonzo Madrid, standing in what could possibly be a bathroom with some of his fellow Salamander Army soldiers. He definitely looks intimidating, is it enough to convince you that he is out for blood? One can certainly understand how a look like that can scare off an extra on set!
Check out all the new stories and images on IF Sentinel.
Today the official Ender’s Game Twitter and Facebook released a new promotional image from the Ender’s Game movie. This one features an image of Colonel Graff that we’ve seen on previous promo images, but also features a new shot of Ender Wiggin.
So far, the only imagery we’ve seen of Ender in his Dragon Army flash suit is from the official poster, but that is a view from the back. This image features a very cool front look at Ender wearing his Dragon Army flash suit.
The tagline posted with it was “Prepare for battle.”

With the teaser trailer less than 2 days away, the official Ender’s Game marketing team has been pushing out some really cool collages and digital manips of the imagery so far. Today’s image was a collage of the Battle Room and Ender:
In the middle photo, there are computer screen words. Here’s the image slightly enlarged:
Dragon Army
Leader: Ender Wiggin
Squad No: 416
Crew:// 15
Now, since these are just promotional images, I have no idea if they actually reflect how things are in the movie, but I admit I’m confused by the use of the word “squad” over the book’s term “toon”. Also, is the “Crew” number the entire army? If so, it sounds as though the army sizes have been severely reduced, which could make sense given the small scale of the barracks we’ve seen so far, but part of me had hoped that these were simply toon barracks, not the entire army.
What are your thoughts? Are the 15 crew members simply how many there are in Squad 416? Or is this just a promo image and we shouldn’t read into it too much?
