I’m thrilled at the prospect, but I wonder how much they’re going to cut/change. There are some pretty intense things in there, given the age of the protagonist. Even with him older in this version, when he **SPOILERS** kills another boy with his bare hands **/SPOILERS** it’s pretty messed up for a kid that young. And if I remember right, that happens twice. Totally makes sense when you’re in Ender’s head (i.e. reading it), but I don’t know how I’ll react to it on screen.
I lament the forthcoming purge of OSC from the SF cannon.

The longer trailer is better. Can’t wait.
