Odd Lot Entertainment has attached Tsotsi director Gavin Hood to rewrite and develop to direct the bigscreen version of Orson Scott Card's seminal science-fiction work Ender's Game, according to 24 Frames.

Orson Scott Card's book tells of a world in which humans face a serious threat from an alien race known as the Formics and begin training elite military units in response. Against this backdrop comes Andrew Wiggin, also known as Ender, a child who becomes a top-flight solider and helps to save Earth (by fighting simulations that turn out to be real).

No production date has been set.

    Formics? Surely not. They were called Buggers weren't they?

    I'm happy to hear this is still being worked on. For the parties involved, you had better not mess this up. This story is among the pinnacles of Sci Fi classics!
