Ender’s Game is getting all kinds of good news today! Earlier director Gavin Hood updated his Tumblr page with info regarding how “fantastic” the battle room sequences are, and now we a look at the battle room itself by way of a new poster!
Read what Hood told Yahoo regarding the atmosphere of the battle room sequences after the jump.
Regarding how big the Ender’s Game battle room is:
“This is the high school football field, only it’s in three dimensions. It’s the size of a football field in all directions: up, down, left, right. And the idea is teams jump out from opposite ends of this amazing space and play this amazing game of 3D paintball, almost.”
It sounds like the shape and style of the battle room is a little different from what the book detailed:
“What if we could see through? What if we could see out of the space, and we’re moving around the Earth and turning at the same time?” He said he felt that would create “a really strange, disorienting experience.”
Ender’s Game is based on the popular book by Orson Scott Card and centers around a super-smart young boy who may be mankind’s only hope against an alien race known as the “buggers”. The movie is currently filming, and the sci-fi action adventure is set to hit theaters in November.
