Last night at the MCM Expo Q&A event in London, several clips were shown including the trailer, Ender’s Army, and an exclusive clip that included snippets of the propaganda video shown at Comic Con in the Ender’s Game Experience “Welcome to Battle School”. The difference is, this clip is integrated into the movie itself, and we get to see Ender watch video of Mazer’s crucial battle at what is presumably Battle School orientation.
Thanks to @AP2HHC for the video!
Sir Ben Kingsley spoke with HeyUGuysUK in London tonight about what it was like for him to act with Maori tā moko on his face.
I didn’t feel any conscious difference on my face and it’s not a tattoo on my arm that I can look at on my arm and sort of enjoy or have a rapport with but […] it changed the way the other actors looked at me and that was really interesting, how they were trying to decipher my face and wonder what it meant and how dangerous and threatening it was. It affected them more than it affected me. It’s good, it was great.

Gavin Hood spoke to HeyUGuys UK on what drew him to the project of Ender’s Game.
I am not per say, a sci fi fan, for me, I love the fact that this is a story that’s set in the future which allows us to explore ideas that the story deals with in a way that would be perhaps too uncomfortable to deal with if we explored them in the modern context. So for me it doesn’t really matter if a story is set in the future or set in ancient Greece or set on one continent or another. What matters is that the environment is a helpful, visual way of telling what is essentially a timeless universal story about characters interacting with each other. Human beings have evolved their technology, but emotionally, we haven’t evolved that much.
