    IF-Sentinel.com Launches Mission Statement and More

    Those of you that have been waiting for the IF-Sentinel site to update need wait no longer! The official Ender’s Game I.F. site, which is operating on Tumblr, updated this morning with five stories that will help to immerse fans into the Enderverse.

    The stories introduce people to the purpose of the IF, which states:

    United under a single, harmonious government, the International Fleet serves to protect the Earth from another global invasion, while striving to maintain order and propel human progress on Earth.

    It also establishes the concept of Thirds, introduces a campaign to honor Mazer Rackham, and mentions what sounds like I.F. preschools called Tactical and Strategic Training Academies.

    The screenshot above is with the Mazer Rackham story, so this is presumably Kyle Clements playing young Mazer.

    The I.F. has selected archivist Stephen Trawcki to head a new program that will draw deep connections between the military heroism and numerous accomplishments of Mazer Rackham’s life that can teach us all to be better citizens. “No one was spared from the attack,” says Trawcki, “it’s the job of survivors to make sure we never forget those who are gone and honor the hero who saved us.”

    They’ve also got the overview of a mysterious planet:

    Could this be the home planet of the Formics or just one of their outposts?

    What do you guys think of the site? Check out all the stories for yourself!

    The production team behind the Ender’s Game movie, which is currently filming in New Orleans, Louisiana, has started an official production blog over on Tumblr.

    It took us all a second to realize Asa was right when he said Ender’s Gamewas an amazing book from “the late 1900s.”  We use that phrase all the time now, like, “Clinton was President in the late nineteen hundreds!”  Most of us read Ender’s Game when we were young and wondered when it would become a movie.

    It’s funny how they have the same reaction about the book when you think about how old it was. I’m about to turn 33 and Ender’s Game was my favorite book in the sixth grade. That means that the year I was fascinating about a movie, Asa Butterfield wouldn’t even be born for another SIX YEARS.

    It sure has been a long time coming and I can’t wait to see the first images!
