i know that these are all old posts, but i've just finished ender's (really liked it) and heard that a movie was in the works...or was.  the links to the script are now dead ends, and the imdb entry is no longer available.  but based on the details in starbrigid's post, it sounds like card changed a lot.  most of it no big deal except for what was mentioned about val and ender physically retaliating against peter.  that detail changes so many of the dynamics of the original story.  the only thing ender feared in the world (universe really) was peter, and that was, at least in part, because he had never stood up to him.  if card is going to insist on adapting the story himself, he needs to be careful of "stephen kinging" himself.  the movie should remain what the book is...a story about a boy...and not a story about the future with a boy in it.

and he shouldn't change their ages...that will make it tough casting, but the finished product will be all the better for it.
