    FANSITE EXCLUSIVE: ‘Ender’s Army’ – First Clip from ‘Ender’s Game’

    Ender's-Army32

    EnderWiggin.net is very happy to be one of the Ender’s Game fansites to exclusively debut the very first clip from Ender’s Game, now 27 days from release in the United States.

    Watch below in the clip titled ‘Ender’s Army’ as Colonel Hyrum Graff of the International Fleet’s Battle School discusses with esteemed student Ender Wiggin his impressive record at the school and what’s in store for someone who is both excelling and struggling under Commander Bonzo Madrid of Salamander Army.

    What do you guys think of the clip? I loved that they included the bit about the uniforms, which is pretty close to the scene in the book!

    “I’ve never heard of Dragon Army,” Ender said.

    “That’s because there hasn’t been a Dragon Army in four years. We discontinued the name because there was a superstition about it. No Dragon Army in the history of the Battle School ever won even a third of its games. It got to be a joke.”

    “Well, why are you reviving it now?”

    “We had a lot of extra uniforms to use up.”

    For some reason I also loved the hum in the background, lending to the fact that they’re in space. I also cracked up that Graff seems to slouch. Perhaps that’s their substitute for the big belly?

    Listen to EnderCast Episode 33.5 below to hear Kelly and I watching the clip for the first time!

    Ender’s Game is in theaters November 1st.

    Watch a 1 minute TV spot for the UK. There isn’t any new footage, but it’s still kind of cool because it merges the teaser trailer with the full trailer and somehow the coloring looks a lot better. Those lucky Brits only have 3 weeks to go!

    Listen to an Exclusive 90-Second Preview of Steve Jablonsky’s ‘Ender’s Game’ Score

    EndersGame

    With Ender’s Game just over 28 days from release, the anticipation is building for longtime fans of the novel worldwide. The movie’s score, which was composed by Steve Jablonsky (Transformers), will be released on October 22, 2013 and contains a total of 21 tracks.

    The nice folks over at Varese Sarabande sent over the score for me to listen to and I’ll admit, despite my claims to resist, I listened to it all night. I’ve managed to resist listening to the finale tracks so far, hopefully I can keep that up until I see the movie.

    To give you a taste, I’ve been allowed to pick 90 seconds of music to preview from two tracks. The first 45 seconds comes from “Battle Room” and the latter 45 seconds is from “Dragons Win”. Be sure to listen to it and let us know what you think!

    Full track list:

    Don’t forget to pre-order the soundtrack.

    io9 Reveals 360° Tour of Dragon Army Barracks and Graff’s Office

    Graffs-Office

    i09 is giving Launchies around the world a chance to take 360° tours of two Ender’s Game sets: the Dragon Army barracks and Graff’s office. We’ve seen Graff standing in his office and we know that behind that wall is the Battle Room, where Graff can watch battles. Funnily enough, it looks like there’s a doorway to a shaft right above his desk. Perfect for snoopy little Bean-like soldiers. 😉

    Dragon-Barracks

    The Dragon Army barracks has DRAGON on the floor of the entryway, just like what we saw in the still MTV released yesterday of Ender and Petra entering Salamander’s barracks.

    Thanks to @SpeedBrkr for the tip.

    Update: We’ve embedded the tours below thanks to IF-BattleSchool.com.
