The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire

the districts, Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is
still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger

Ender’s
Game
Writter Orson Scott Card wrote
in 1985 a science fiction novel called "Ender's Game".
The story of the novel was set on a future earth, where an imperiled humankind
tries to survive a third incursion by an alien race called Formics orBuggers as
they are called by most of the population. These aliens have an insectoid type
appearence, with an ant-like group behaviour and are extremely protective of
their leader. While preparing for the third incursion on our world by the buggers,
an international military academy is formed, to train through games, gifted
young children for combat. Amidst all the student there is one that could have
the potential to save us all, Ender Wiggin, who starts to show is
tactical superiority in the Battle Room games under zero
gravity. Now, the novel has been compared to a sci-fi version of the Lord
of the Flies, it's been called a percursor to The Hunger
Games, and many other things, but it's a difficult book to adapt and so
much that it took ten year of hard work to bring the book to the big screen,
and all thanks to writer/director Gavin Hood, whom also directed Tsotsi and X-Men
Origins: Wolverine. Has with any book adaptation changes had to be made
for the script, namely the age of the recruits in the space academy, whom are
older. The main reason for the change was, “I discussed this at length with
Orson. The decision was made very early on to compress the time period into
about a year, so that we could have the same actor from beginning to end… We
were trying to hit that sweet spot right around 12, which Asa fits in very
nicely.” said the director to EW.
