Ender's Game Movie Resources

Teachers who are working on an Ender's Game unit might be pleased to learn that the film version of the book is slated to be released in theaters in November of 2013! Students who are becoming more enthralled with the series might be pleased to check out some of these sites!

BASIC INFO SOURCES
IMDB Resource
Wikipedia Source

OFFICIAL PRODUCTION FILM BLOG
Special note: This resource has some great behind-the-scenes images and interviews from the shoot, but it's also an excellent starter point for a discussion on one of the many ways people use blogs. Ask your students: Why would anyone from the production team bother taking time to create a blog for the film?

NON-OFFICIAL BLOG
Special note: This blog has been around longer than the Tumblr blog. Ask your students: What is the difference between this blog and the official production film blog? How about in terms of purpose and not just format: what are some reasons you think this blog was created that might be different from reasons why the official production blog was created?
