VIDEO: Producer Ed Ulbrich Talks Ender’s Game
Listen to Ender’s Game producer Ed Ulbrich talk about conceiving of and building the “Enderverse”, the visuals and the moral messages of the movie!
Ed Ulbrich has been involved in such visually stunning movies as We Own the Night (2007) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008). After stepping down as CEO of Digital Domain in July, Ed Ulbrich remained a producer on Ender’s Game. According to our own Crystal, the backdrop and the traffic sounds in the background suggest that this may have been recorded during San Diego Comic Con earlier this year.

In this video released by the Associated Press, star Harrison Ford discusses his role and why he was attracted to Ender’s Game. Ford is asked the question of whether he gave advice to his young co-stars and responds that he doesn’t think it’s appropriate because they were all very evolved as actors. The video also features some cool behind-the-scenes footage!
Sir Ben talks about the effect of his facial tattoos while we’re treated to a look at Ender and Mazer sitting at a table and then Gavin Hood as he directs Kingsley in a scene.

VIDEO: Ender’s Game Command School Ice Battle
In this third clip from Ender’s Game, we get to see more of the ice battle, interspersed with a conversation between Graff and Anderson.
I found this one to be a little strange. Particularly, why are Anderson and Graff sitting next to each other, then suddenly in the next shot they’re sitting across each other? And why is Anderson at Command School when the calendar told us something else? Do you think they bring her there to evaluate his mental capacity to begin actual battles?
Remember, in the book Ender trains for a bit alone before the actual transition to real battles, so perhaps this is before that point. Thoughts?
This is also the first time we hear from Bernard! And looks like we now know that the big “NOW!” is from this battle, not the final battle!

Starry Mag Talks to Aramis Knight
Starry Mag did an interview with Aramis Knight and talked to him about his experience on set, how much he’s grown since filming, and why he appreciates his fans so much.
Q) Was that your most memorable moment from filming?
A) That was probably my best life experience ever and there probably won’t be a better one than that. There are so many different moments though that I can think of off the top of my head. The most memorable that I’ll remember in thirty years is being at space camp. Also, my mother makes jokes about this all the time that I went into New Orleans as a boy and came out a man, physically and mentally. I came out with more life experiences because of the situations I was put in. It was kind of crazy! All my family that saw me right when I came back just looked at me and said, “Wow! You grew a lot!” I think when we went to New Orleans I was 4’7 and when I came back I was 5’0. Now, I’m 5’6! So, I’ve grown quite a bit over that time. Probably the best life experience I had though was space camp because there were so many emotions and things that I had to control. There were so many things I realized about myself there, as well.
Q) What do you think it is about Ender’s Game that will really want to make people go see it?
A) Other than the great cast…It’s probably the special effects. I’ve seen bits and pieces of the movie so I’ve seen a lot of the graphics and effects are really visually stunning. Your jaw just kind of drops. It almost makes you want to cry because it is so overwhelming! The visuals are just crazy and beautiful. I think in the movie the chemistry that us boys have is going to shine through – the love that we have for each other that the characters had and that we also had for each other in real life. I think the friendships that they are going to see through our characters are going to make people love it and make them want to see us more. Let’s hope for sequels because I’d really love to hang out with the boys again!
Q) You’re a part of the social networking site Twitter. Why is that such an important way for you to connect with your fans?
A) I know the fans are everything to my career. I want to go many places and I can’t do that without my fans. They are the most important thing when it comes to getting to the places that I want to get to. I love to show my appreciation to them, talk to them and get to know them. I try to respond to everyone that I can. It’s definitely a big part of my career.
Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and your work?
A) I would just like to say thank you because they are what gives me the motivation to do I do. I realize that I can bring so much joy and see the excitement to their faces. When I was at Comic-Con a lot of people knew who I was and just the excitement on their faces seeing me become Bean was so touching to me. The joy I could bring them was really awesome. So, I’d love to keep doing more of it!

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.”
