Heroic First Trailer for ‘Ender’s Game’ Finally Released

Move over Hunger Games…you may have more competition than you thought. While there’s no doubt Katniss and company will rule this Thanksgiving, Ender’s Game, based on the bestselling novel series by Orson Scott Card, will undoubtedly be used as a comparative tool.

The first trailer was finally released by Summit today. It highlights the big names – Asa Butterfield (Hugo), Harrison Ford, Sir Ben Kingsley, Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) – while simultaneously setting up intrigue about the story. I’ve attached a previously-released photo, too.

I’ve personally never read the books, but after watching the trailer I feel much more inclined to!

The movie is directed by Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and will release wide on November 1, 2013.
