Entertainment Tonight spoke with Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Viola Davis, and Hailee Steinfeld at the Ender’s Game press junket on Saturday. Although they talk a lot about the underlying themes of the film, the gem is definitely when Viola Davis continues her Harrison Ford fangirling and reveals that he’s got a really dirty mind and tells a lot of dirty jokes.

VIDEO: IGN’s Extended Interview with Gavin Hood and Bob Orci
Watch IGN’s extended 17 minute interview with Ender’s Game director Gavin Hood and producer Roberto Orci. A lot of what they talk about we’ve heard already, but it’s still a good interview to watch.
Gavin Hood talks a bit more about why he eliminated Locke and Demosthenes, explaining that writing on the computer isn’t visually exciting and early on he made the decision to make the entire movie about Ender and cutting away to an Earth storyline would create a disconnect between the audience and Ender.
They also get asked the question: Are you afraid the fans will hate the movie?

New Stills and Behind-the-Scenes Images from ‘Ender’s Game’
Thanks to Cosmic Book News (via Ender News), we’ve got a great first look at Bonzo and Ender facing off. We’ve all noted and discussed the noticeable height difference between Moises Arias (Bonzo) and Asa Butterfield (Ender) in the past, and this still gives us some insight into why despite that difference, Gavin Hood chose Arias to be Ender’s nemesis in Battle School. Petra standing there seems a bit odd, though.
New photo of Viola Davis as Major Gwen Anderson. Is she smiling at something Ender’s said to Graff, perhaps?
This one is particularly interesting, as you can see looks of sadness on Bean and Petra and Graff happily explains something to a troubled Ender. Is this the reveal in the end?

Wireless Magazine Talks to the Cast of ‘Ender’s Game’
Wireless Magazine recently spoke to the cast and crew of Ender’s Game while they were in the UK and there are some interesting tidbits in the various conversations they had.
Gavin Hood: [T]his is really about a young boy trying to find his own moral centre in a world that is encouraging his more aggressive nature. From a technical point of view there’s all the great fun stuff we have with the battle room and with the simulations. In the book they are slightly different, I’d like to hope fans will feel we’ve made them more visual for the purpose of cinema.
Asa Butterfield: I think that relationship is quite important in the film. When Ender’s first taken away from his home, from everyone he loves, everyone he trusts and put into this completely alien world where almost immediately he’s alienated from his peers there’s no one that he can talk to about what’s going on so he doesn’t really know what he’s supposed to be doing. When he meets Petra as their relationship develops they start to realise they can trust each other. She almost fills the gap that his sister has left so it’s definitely not a love relationship in any sense I don’t think, I just think they’re really close friends. They don’t know anything about boyfriends or girlfriends, they’re just someone they can lean on, to help.
Ben Kingsley: Well, the ending is that one wonders whether or not, without giving too much away, the audience will be curious, intrigued and troubled to know, is this child’s soul going to be distorted forever? Or will he get back to his original self? That in spite of or because of that very taxing journey, adolescence to young adulthood, have they distorted him? I think the answer is in the film and I find it very uplifting.
Hailee Steinfeld: I think there are many, there’s everything from leadership, compassion, all these different things that are so relevant to today. I don’t know that there is a main message I think there are plenty and it will be interesting to see what the audience takes away from it because there is so much in there.

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.
