Summit Entertainment is heading to Hall H of the San Diego Comic-Con today to present a special sneak peek at the long-awaited adaptation of Orson Scott Card's beloved 1985 sci-fi novel Ender's Game with a panel attended by director Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), producer Roberto Orci (Star Trek Into Darkness) and stars Asa Butterfield (Hugo), Harrison Ford (Star Wars), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), and Abigail Breslin (Zombieland).
In anticipation, six new character posters have been released online featuring Butterfield's Andrew 'Ender' Wiggin, Ford's Colonel Hyrum Graff, Steinfeld's Petra Arkanian, Ben Kingsley's (Iron Man 3) Mazer Rackham, Viola Davis' (The Help) Major Gwen Anderson and Nonso Anozie's (Game of Thrones) Sergeant Dap, as well as the first clip from the film and a 'Battle School' recruitment video; check them out...
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.
Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
Ender's Game is set for release in the UK on October 25th, and in North America on November 1st.
