VIDEO: Gigi Pritzker on Making Ender’s Game
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.”

Enter EnderWiggin.net’s Ender’s Game Pumpkin Carving Contest
It’s almost Halloween, Launchies, and with a midnight premiere coming up on Halloween, it’s a perfect time for a pumpkin carving contest! (that’s the front of my finished pumpkin above!) This contest is actually for Countdown to NovEnder Day 31, but is being posted now to ensure a lengthy entry period.
If you’ve never carved a pumpkin before, I urge you to give it a try! I first began carving pumpkins about 6 years ago and I’ve had tons of fun every year since. Eventually I started carving foam pumpkins so that I could keep them every year rather than watching all my hard work rot away just a few days later.
How to Enter
To enter, carve an Ender’s Game themed pumpkin and send us photos of it to valentine@enderwiggin.net. Please read the rules carefully. Feel free to download and use our Ender’s Game pumpkin stencils available HERE.
Please include:
- Pumpkin lit in the dark
- Pumpkin in light
- Verification photo – Example of verification photos: the pumpkin with a newspaper with the date clearly showing, the pumpkin next to your computer with the EnderWiggin.net site up, or a photo of yourself with the pumpkin. EnderWiggin.net will NOT post photos of people.
- A description of your pumpkin’s Ender’s Game theme.
DEADLINE: Entries must be submitted by November 1st, 2013 at midnight ET.
This contest is open worldwide.
Rules
- Pumpkin entries must have a CLEAR Ender’s Game theme.
- Acceptable types of carvings: pumpkin, watermelon, foam pumpkin.
- Entry must have been carved in October 2013.
- Multiple pumpkins are acceptable, but will be judged as one entry unless you submit them separately.

- creativity
- attention to detail
- quality of photos
Tips for Good Pumpkin Photos

Keep camera very still, such as on a tripod or propped up on something.

Steve Jablonsky: “Ender’s Game is Big But Also Very Personal”
Ender’s Game composer Steve Jablonsky has given a brief statment about his score for the film, out November 1 2013.
“Ender’s Game is big but also very personal, which is an interesting combination for any composer. For some scenes, I’m using an 80 piece orchestra and 32 member choir, while in other scenes I am using a simple solo instrument. Ender is a very isolated character for much of the film so I felt that a solo cello would play that isolation nicely and it became an important element in the score.”
Listen to three tracks from the score on SoundCloud:
