Fresh Staet For Ender's Game Film

Summit Entertainment is in talks to co-finance and acquire the U.S. rights to the sci-fi film adaptation of author Orson Scott Card's 1985 book Ender's Game says Variety.

The story follows a child super soldier who plays a long simulation of Earth's fight against the 'bugger' race of alien insects. As the 'game' wears on, he begins to lose his sanity and makes a final and devastating decision that has real world consequences.

The on-again, off-again project has gone through numerous iterations over many years with various scribes and directors having a shot at trying to get the project off the ground.

Things got going again, thanks to a script rewrite of Card's most recent draft by “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” director Gavin Hood, who will also direct,

 “Star Trek” producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. are producing together with Gigi Pritzker and Linda McDonough of Odd Lot Entertainment Card and  Lynn Hendee
