Thanks to an EnderWiggin.net reader on Facebook, we now know that the city featured in the ‘Never Again’ propaganda poster released yesterday is actually central Hong Kong. Here are a couple of maps from Google Maps where you can clearly see the buildings featured in the poster!
Thanks to Claudia and Michael for pointing this out! Link to map 1 and map 2.
Yesterday’s exciting propaganda posters mean it’s time for some new wallpapers. Head over to the Wallpapers page to download this “Protect Earth” one and many other designs!
EnderWiggin.net’s staff has grown again! Please give a warm welcome to Liz Spencer, who joins as a Junior Reporter to help the site with US news and event coverage. Liz will be posting under the name of Bean, who is her favorite Ender’s Game character.
Liz lives in Hawaii on the same island as me, so we’re hoping to throw some kind of premiere party on Halloween this year! If you live in Honolulu, you’ll want to keep an eye out for that for sure.

Along with the re-launch of I.F. Sentinel and the three really cool propaganda posters came some new imagery, some of it better looks at key characters.
First up, we have Dap, aka “Mom” to the Launchies. He’s sporting an IF Hat and wearing the teacher uniform. This photo doesn’t really do justice to how big Nonso Anozie is, but it’s still great to have a better look at him. We previously only caught a slight glimpse of him in the trailer.
Next there’s a nice close-up image of the back of a Dragon Army soldier and we get a much better look at part of the flash suit. We can see that they wear something connected to their suit over their heads and the helmet goes on over that. Also, any guesses who this is? Since there’s a wall of stars in front of him, my guess is Bean!
Last, but not least, we get a great first head-on look at Bonzo Madrid, standing in what could possibly be a bathroom with some of his fellow Salamander Army soldiers. He definitely looks intimidating, is it enough to convince you that he is out for blood? One can certainly understand how a look like that can scare off an extra on set!
Check out all the new stories and images on IF Sentinel.
The official Ender’s Game website I.F. Sentinel has just launched a new design with new media and stories along with some seriously kick ass posters!
Episode 19 of EnderCast is now available! This week we talked with author Alethea Kontis, who wrote the essay Mirror Mirror in Smart Pop Books’ anthology Ender’s World. Topics included:
We also had a Pop Quiz, Fart Eater guest on, so let us know how you did! Listen to the episode here.
In an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, Halle Berry, Michael Eklund, and Michael Imperiou talk about working with Abigail Breslin on The Call. While Berry seems very impressed with her preparedness and professionalism, Eklund and Imperiou praise her ability to access and express her emotions. This bodes well for everyone’s favorite lake scene in Ender’s Game, which, as book readers will know, hinges on the emotional connection between Valentine and Ender.
The Call is out on DVD and Blu-ray today.

I have you tell you guys, I’m really struggling with this vlog thing with almost nothing to talk about. If you guys want to ask me a question that I can answer in some upcoming TWEs that might help. For now I’m just a rambling, bumbling Launchie with nothing to talk about, agh! In the meantime, I really hope Summit does something this week!
Thanks to a tip by @franiahs and some Google-fu of Ender News, we’ve got some photos taken from an event that took place in Mexico City, sponsored by Cinemex. The road race was themed to several upcoming movies including El Juego de Ender, which is the Spanish title for Ender’s Game.
Here’s a photo of the t-shirt several racers wore.
Along with some of the other items available. That green card looks like it goes straight to my “never see because I’m a wuss” list.
Here’s a great photo of some racers wearing their El Juego de Ender shirts. Looks awesome!
